By Susan Butler. Paperback, 360 pages, published December 2009. Index
This not by any means a comprehensive index; there are so many names and places mentioned in this book that it would have been impossible to include every one without the index taking on massive proportions! However, I have tried to index all the major local places, houses and families featured.
Eastrington, an East Riding village also contains several long lists, such as Eastrington landowners and tenants at enclosure in 1822, but these names are not indexed.
says Calam William is on p. 176
Most of these were and are small villages or hamlets surrounded bt agricultural fields. This area lost its manors and abbeys early leaving just small communities with some ancient ruins.
Most of their history shows little more than farming, a few pubs, butchers etc.
The local towns and villages section covers places within, roughly, a 25 mile radius of Howden/Goole. It includes the Howdenshire, Marshland and Isle of Axholme areas which lie within East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire. Photos are listed alphabetically and cover the following places:
Adlingfleet, Airmyn, Althorpe, Asselby, Barmby on the Marsh, Belton, Brantingham, Booth, Blacktoft, Broomfleet, Bubwith, Carlton, Crowle, Drax, Eastoft, Ellerton, Epworth, Faxfleet, Garthorpe, Gilberdyke, Gunthorpe, Haxey, Hensall, Hook, Howdendyke, Keadby, Knedlington, Laxton, Low Burnham, Luddington, North Cave, Owston Ferry, Portington, Rawcliffe, Reedness, Saltmarshe, Sandhall, Sandholme, Skelton, Snaith, South Cave, Swinefleet, West Butterwick, Westwoodside, Wroot and Wressle.
Local railways also have their own section which covers the following places:

Mary Florence had very long hair at some points as she was growing up -- influenced by the During the late 19th and early 20th centuries the seven sisters of the Sutherland family of Lockport, NY were a singing group who became very famous for the length of their hair. In the 1880s while traveling with the Barnum and Bailey Circus their father realized that people were more interested in the length of their hair than in their singing. The Seven Sutherland Sisters world-famous for their incredible hair, which reportedly had a collective length of 37 feet. I believe she had friends who also grew their hair long but I'm not sure if they were just friends, cousins or what.

Hello Beth , Thanks for sending the pictures.
Interestingly it looks as though the mothers face has been blanked out on the two top left.
I think the man with the beard , bottom left , could be Benjamin P Webster ( husband of Margaret Calam ) - Comparing this picture with the group picture with him , Margaret and the three children.
Best Wishes

Thank you for the offer of the certs and yes please that would be great. I've attached a copy of Williams death cert as you'll see the age is given as 28 which is incorrect. The burial entry
for Eastrington gives his age correctly as 38 unfortunately the headstone is badly eroded.
When I contacted Susan Butler she very kindly looked to see if their were any newspaper
or coroners reports but it all happened too early and she couldn't find anything. Some sort
of inquest must have been held as the death was not registered by the coroner until Dec 1849.
I've also attached copies of William and Sarah' marriage and Sarah' second marriage to Robert
Wilson Thompson. I have birth certs for all the siblings if you would like copies just let me know.
As I said in my first mail to Beth, the family are complicated before this point. Williams parents
could be either Isaac c1774 and Elizabeth nee Hudson or Isaac c1785 and Elizabeth nee Brisby at this moment in time I think they are the latter but I have no knowledge of Isaac being a Chemist,
they were farmers or farm labourers. I just hope their isn't a third Isaac Calam that I've missed as
I have a new saying when things go wrong 'Oh Isaacs' because trying to untangle them is proving
to be quite a task. I think that the two Isaacs were uncle and nephew. If you have any info on any
of the early Calams I would greatly appreciate it.
Kind regards

Hello Julie, Beth has forwarded your email. I had spotted Susan Butlers website
some time ago.
I have the marriage cert of Margaret to Benjamin Webster (1866) and the birth
cert of their first child Edgar P b 1867 Leeds
if you want scans.
I had ( I think ) identified George L at 1st Ave Leeds in the
1881 census.
In the 1870 US census William Calam and Eliza nee Goodhare
are living with Benjamin and Margaret but incorrectly entered as Webster . They are
still in the Bridgeport area in the 1880 and 1900 censuses.
Hello Beth , I Dont know much about Yorkshire reg districts, but I have come across Pannal
when looking at CBWs siblings , I will see what I can find .
I came across a book on castles yesterday - There was an illustration of a German castle
with a Watchtower which looked quite like your tower photograph - so it could be from there.
Two more things from the US census :-
Minnies first husband was James J Black -an Electrical Enginer from Oregon .
I think you were on the right lines about the Eliza "Webster" in the 1870 Bridgeport census
but I think William and Eliza were Calams not Websters - this fits with William being shown
as a blacksmith
(William Calam married Eliza Goodhare near York in Sept 1868.)
It also means I havnt found William Webster yet in the 1870 census.
Hello Beth and Colin , hope you are ok and have had less rain than us recently. Dont know if I told you about an Eastington website www.btinternet.com/~susanebutler . It has a transcription of the 1851 census which lists the Calams. Margarets mother is widowed. I had a look at the 1861 census - Sarah is now remarried ( to the lodger) and they are shown as the innkeepers of the Black Swan. If you go the the website , then Eastrington families , then tradespeople and scroll down to Butchers , there is an old picture of the Black Swan. Also in the 1881 census - found Geo L Calam a " Machanic" living quite close to where Williams sewing machine works would have been. Regards Paul
I know Colin (Edward Isaac's grandson) will be disappointed that there
are no further pictures. I don't know about a cedar chest, but Mom did
have quite a few older photos which I'm scanning as I have time.
Unfortunately there don't seem to be any pictures of the younger siblings
who stayed in England.
I just received the map for the Lakeview Cemetary with the Calam and
Webster headstones. I'll get pictures when I get a chance.
Hope you're enjoying the return as much as the trip!
Regards,
Beth

Dear Paul:
Thanks for the images. I can see if I can manipulate them to make them
clearer, but documents are always the hardest to improve.
I just received the map for Lakeview Cemetary where some of the Websters
and Calams rest.
As a little girl, I can remember going to the Calam one, but not the
Webster. Now that I see the Webster location -- right up front -- I'm
guessing it's either very early or very important!? Once I have a chance
to get pictures, I'll send them along.

South Skirlaugh
Up to four houses were licensed at South Skirlaugh in the later 18th century, and the Sun and the Duke of York were named from the 1820s. (fn. 12) The latter was briefly called the Royal in the 1840s, (fn. 13) and both existed in 1994. A third house, run by a wheelwright from 1840, was presumably the Carpenter's Arms, at the south end; named in 1852, (fn. 14) it was closed in or soon after 1968. (fn. 15) A lodge of the United Ancient Order of Druids was founded at South Skirlaugh in 1859; it met at the Duke of York and flourished until at least 1938. (fn. 16) An annual summer feast was held in the village in the late 19th century. (fn. 17)
...
There were usually 6-8 farmers at South Skirlaugh in the 19th century and earlier 20th, one or two of whom had 150 a. or more.(fn. 62) The Crown let 49 a. at South Skirlaugh from 1909 and two cottages and 75 a. more from 1914 to the county council, which provided ten smallholdings there until the mid 1930s. Other council holdings were made from the 135-a. Silverhall farm, bought in 1919; three of the holdings there, amounting to 39 a., were let that year to Skirlaugh parish meeting. Humberside county council still held the estate in 1995. (fn. 63) Up to five market gardeners found employment at South Skirlaugh in the later 19th and early 20th century, and a cowkeeper worked there in the 1870s. (fn. 64) In 1987 eight holdings were returned under Skirlaugh civil parish; two were of 100- 199 ha. (247-492 a.), one of 50-99 ha. (124-245 a.), three of 20-49 ha. (49-121 a.), and two of under 2 ha. (5 a.). (fn. 65)...
TRADES. There was small-scale commercial activity in South Skirlaugh village in the 19th and earlier 20th century, c. 30 tradesmen and shopkeepers working there in 1851, for instance, and the two public houses also playing their part. Craftsmen included a weaver in 1851. (fn. 69) A motor engineering concern was begun c. 1920, and in 1994 there were two garages beside the main road and a workshop in Church Lane. (fn. 70)

Seaside Road, Aldbrough
The eastern end of Seaside Road at Mount Pleasant, Aldbrough.
Sea bathing was established in Aldbrough by 1836, with a regular bus service from Hull during the holiday season in the 1840s, although Aldbrough failed as a spa. This was possibly due to the lack of a railway and poor access to the beach from mud cliffs which have always had a habit of crumbling into the sea. Despite the obvious drawbacks, Aldbrough still manages to attract visitors to its holiday homes and caravan site.

Holme-on-Spalding-Moor (also known as Holme-upon-Spalding-Moor) is a large village and civil parish in theEast Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 8 miles (13 km) north-east of Howden and 5 miles (8 km) south-west of Market Weighton. It lies on the A163 road where it joins the A614 road.
In terms of major cities, the village is closest to York which is just under 20 miles (32 km) away, while Hull is 23 miles (37 km) away. The civil parish is formed by the village of Holme-on-Spalding-Moor and the hamlets of Bursea,Hasholme, Tollingham and Welhambridge. According to the 2011 UK Census, Holme-on-Spalding-Moor parish had a population of 3,172,[1] an increase on the 2001 UK Census figure of 2,948.[2]
Holme-on-Spalding-Moor village is named for its location on the Spalding Moor. In very early censuses of England (before the 16th century) the village was sometimes listed as Holme, Spalding Moor, Yorkshire, though there is little evidence of any other towns scattered across the moor at that or any time. The word Holme is Danish of origin and means island.
Spalding Moor was a marsh, dominated by a single hill which consists of Keupermarl; on the hill a small church was built in the 13th century. The village was built on the holme around the church, hence the name. Spalding Moor now is lightly cultivated and has been largely tamed.
Through the 17th and 18th centuries, the main occupation for people in the village was growing and dressing hemp. This gave rise to it sometimes been referred to as "Hemp-Holme".
A late Iron Age logboat (750–390 BC), now known as the Hasholme Logboat, was discovered at Hasholme in the south-east of the parish.
In 1823, Holme-on-Spalding-Moor was in the Wapentake of Harthill. Baines'History, Directory and Gazetteer of the County of York records the alternative village name of "Hemp Holme", taken from the parish' former cultivation of hemp. A bed of gypsum was recorded in which ammonites were found. The church stands in an elevated position, on which is also sited a beacon, which gave its name of Holme Beacon to this contemporary part of Harthill Wapentake. The parish church and rectory was in the patronage of St John's College, Cambridge. There were two chapels, one Roman Catholic, the other, Methodist. Local landowners allotted land (cow-gates), for the personal use of their labourers. Population at the time was 1318. Occupations included twenty-three farmers and yeomen, threeblacksmiths, two wheelwrights, three shoemakers, four shopkeepers, two coal dealers, two corn millers, a tailor, a butcher, a joiner, a bricklayer, and an ornamental plasterer. There were the landlords of The New Inn, The Hare and Hounds, The Sun, and The Blacksmiths' public houses. A carrier operated between the village and Market Weighton on Wednesdays, and Howden on Saturdays. Within the parish lived a banker, a steward to Lady Stourton [Mary Langdale],Charles Langdale at the Hall, a gentleman and a gentlewoman, a surgeon, and the parish rector. Baines records a traditional belief that a cell for two monks was founded at Welham Bridge on the edge of Spalding Moor by vavasours orconstables. One monk was charged with guiding people over wasteland, the other praying for the safety of travellers.[3]
The moor was the site of a Royal Air Force station, RAF Holme-on-Spalding Moor, which was active during the Second World War and for several years thereafter as a bomber facility, being officially closed in 1954 and transferred to the U.S. Air Force. The USAF moved out in 1957, and the field was sold to a private firm.
It continued in private hands until 1984, when its last tenant, British Aerospace, moved out. It was in a rather dilapidated condition by that time, and upon its closing several of the more notable buildings were destroyed and the runways removed. The hangars and several other buildings remain and are used by a variety of industrial and agricultural tenants, though all are in various states of disrepair.
There are a few local convenience stores, a post office, a bakery and butchers, two takeaway outlets, a school & sports wear store, a pharmacy and doctors surgery, four public houses and a mobile library with internet access.
Since 1989 Holme Upon Spalding Moor Primary School has been twinned with a primary school in Lemgo, Germany. Once a year about 20 to 30 pupils visit Grundschule Hörstmar for one week.
There are several churches, the largest being All Saint's church which was mostly built in the 13th century. The church was designated a Grade I listed building in 1966 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained byHistoric England.[6] There is also a Roman Catholic church and a Zion Chapel in the village.
The village's football team Holme Rovers was founded in 1922 by local residents and continues to exist. They play in theEast Riding County League Premier division. The club won the top level of the York Football League during the 1962-63 season and the East Riding Senior Cup in 2007.
LEPPINGTON, a township-chapelry in Scrayingham parish, E. R. Yorkshire; 4 miles NNE of StamfordBridge r. station, and 7½ SW by S of New Malton. Post town, New Malton. Acres, 1,163. Real property, £2,404. Pop., 132. Houses, 23. The manor belongs to Lady Mary Vyner. Gypsum is found. The living is annexed to the rectory of Scrayingham, in the diocese of York. The church was built in 1811, and was once a chantry to Missenden.

Felons and transports continued to be kept in the cells at York, but the more numerous and the longest-staying inmates were those who were unfortunate enough to owe money. Prisoners for debt, unlike criminals, might spend years in a gaol .."
The ancestors of the Calam family come from the ancient Scottish kingdom of Dalriada. The family name comes from the Scottish name MacCallum, which means "the son of the gillie of Callum." However, the full form of the name was used until the 17th century. The Callums were an import branch of the Clan McLeod of Raasay.
Early Origins of the Calam family
The surname Calam was first found in Argyllshire (Gaelic erra Ghaidheal), the region of western Scotland corresponding roughly with the ancient Kingdom of Dál Riata, in the Strathclyde region of Scotland, now part of the Council Area of Argyll and Bute, where they held a family seat from very early times.

The Calam Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: In ardua tendit Motto Translation: He reaches towards things difficult of attainment.
