Southrey, near Bardney, Lincolnshire

St. John the Divine Church, Southrey, Bardney, Lincolnshire
Kindly provided by Ann Pepper

This information relates to the main Lincolnshire tree - descendants of Johannis [John] and Elizabeth Pask née Archer, who lived in Lincolnshire. 

Chart 30: James PASK, (1835- ) Southrow, or Southrey, near Bardney, Lincolnshire #1071  

Earlier this month, we had the pleasure to meet up again with Stephen Pask. We last met him at the Pask Family Gathering on Saturday July 26, 2008 in Whepstead, Suffolk. At that time he travelled from Australia specifically for the event. Stephen is now living back in the UK, and was attending a Nelson Society event in Portsmouth. 

Unfortunately, we have not go back any further on Stephen's family. His ancestor James was born in Southrey, near Bardney, in c1835. His father was Thomas Pask. However we have not been able to find any additional information on James, or Thomas. 

During his visit, we discussed lots of possibilities, and agreed it was best to look at the parish registers again. Fortunately the majority of Lincolnshire parish registers are now available on the website from the Lincolnshire Archives - http://www.lincstothepast.com. However, we noted that Southrey records for this period were not available. We decided to involve our dear friend and family historian, Eileen Robson, who we have known since 1981 - her knowledge and experience of Lincolnshire is extremely valuable. 

Whilst collecting together all the information, you can imagine our surprise, we received an e-mail from Ann Pepper, the Lay Minister for Southrey. 

She has kindly provided detailed information on the Pask burials in Southrey, together with the photograph of the church as detailed above. Furthermore, she explained that the church was only built in 1898 and that anything before this went to Bardney. 

Whilst we have not been able to find anything on James, or Thomas, we nevertheless have been able to group together families. In particular, another James Pask (1887, d. 1955). James married Beatrice Mary EAST in 1911. Unfortunately Beatrice died in December 1914. He then married Ethel Eliza TOWNELL in 1923. She died in February 1932. Then he married Annie E. DAVIDSON in 1934. Annie was the older sister of James' late wife Ethel Eliza.

Fortunately with Ann's detailed information we were able to identify the source records and put these pieces together.

Ann also provided another valuable source in the Southrey Village History website. We found Richard Pask aged 12 who died with two others lads and is buried in Bardney.

Sincere thanks to Ann for taking the time to write to us and kindly provide us with this detailed information.

Website Update - 11 November, 2014

The website was updated today, Tuesday 11 November. The focus was the families that lived in Southrey (or Southrow) a hamlet near Bardney, Lincolnshire:

This information relates to the main Lincolnshire tree - descendants of Johannis [John] and Elizabeth Pask née Archer, who lived in Lincolnshire. 

Chart 30: James PASK, (1835- ) Southrow, or Southrey, near Bardney, Lincolnshire #1071 

Whilst only a small number of new narratives have been added since the last update on 2 November 2014, there are several detailed updates. 

A full list of the recent changes to the narratives is available in the New or Changed Narratives section.

9,000+ Narratives Now Available - Website Update 23 October 2011

The website was updated yesterday Sunday 23 October 2011, and a new milestone of 9,000+ narratives are now available.

• Chart 02-1: John Pask, eldest son of Suffolk Main Progenitor - John and Mirabel Pask née Sparrow

A full list of the recent changes to the narratives is available in the New or Changed Narratives section.

Pask DNA Project

There are now nine DNA test results available relating to the following family charts:

Chart 02: Descendants of John Pask of Wickhambrook, Suffolk

Chart 03: Descendants of John Pask of Washingborough

Chart 04: Descendants of Isaac Pask of Monmouthshire

Chart 06: Descendants of Peter Pask of Kedington, Suffolk

Chart 10: Descendants of John Pask of Thundersley, Essex

Chart 30: Descendants of James Pask of Bardney, Lincolnshire

Chart 41: Descendants of James Pask of Finsbury, London

Chart 47: Descendants of Robert Pask (Pass) of Frieston, Lincolnshire

A comparison of all the test results is available in the PASK DNA Project section.

Suprisingly only two people have matched - in Chart 03. However, a recent test of a descendant of Peter Pask (Chart 06) has matched with a Pask not currently in the Pask DNA Project. So we are hoping that another match will be listed in the near future.

We encourage male Pask, Paske, Parsk, and Pasque and the derivatives to take the 37-marker Y DNA test. To achieve maximum benefits we encourage 2-3 males from each family tree detailed on the Charts list to participate.

Website Update 13 July 2008

The website was updated today, Sunday 13 July.

This update is again focusing on the preparations for the Pask Family Gathering on July 26. In particular:

• Sylvia Rycroft provided a major update, as detailed in the previous blog Pasks of Monmouthshire.
• Stephen Pask, provided information relating to Chart 30: James PASK, (1835- ) Southrow, or Southrey, near Bardney, Lincolnshire #1071.

A full list of these recent changes to the narratives is available in the New or Changed Narratives section.

Descendants of James & Martha Pask née Heath

This information relates to Chart 30, the descendants of James Pask, (1835 - ) who lived in the hamlet of Southrow, or Southrey, near Bardney, Lincolnshire.

During the past few days we have been in contact with Bernard Seeling, the great-grandson of James & Martha Pask née Heath. Bernard's mother was Marie (or Maria) Pask, who married Charles Edward Arthur Seeling.

Charles was born in Auckland New Zealand, but lived in Wigan Lancashire, where he played for Wigan Rugby League before transferring to Dewsbury in 1937.

Bernard has provided a wealth of information relating to this family, and this will be included in the next website update.
