I have come actoss several people (surname MILLER or MILLERS) who were
born in or from Ingleton in Yorkshire in the 1851-1871 Censuses.

According to Wikipedia Ingleton was in the North Riding of Yorkshire,
according to FreeBMD it is in Durham,

https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/districts/teesdale.html

and according to GenUKI and the the Parish Locator program I have it
was in the West Riding.

Can anyone give me a clearer idea of where it was?

So if someone lived in Lancashire in the 19th century and was born in
Ingleton, Yorkshire, would they be more likely to have been born in
the North Eiding one or the West Ruiding one?

If you are asking about someone born after 1837, why don't you use
FreeBMD https://www.freebmd.org.uk to find out which district their
birth was registered in? You can use this list
https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/districts/index.html to find the names of
the parishes within that registration district.

If you have found them in a census record in Ingleton in the District of
Settle it is very unlikely but not impossible they moved to the Ingleton
in Teesdale District

This is an alternative list of place names to Parloc

You seem to be making assumptions rather than looking at all the
information you have found.

What registration district did you get from the FreeBMD search, if you
did one, for the birth registration district?
It wasn't Ingleton as that isn't a registration district (and isn't in
the list of districts on the FreeBMD search page).
Ingleton doesn't appear in the list at
https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/districts/index.html.

https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/index.html REGISTRATION DISTRICTS IN
ENGLAND AND WALES states Registration county (many districts crossed
county boundaries, but were classed wholly in one county for
registration and census purposes). Many towns have changed counties and
registration counties; some had different parts in different
registration districts. You just need to look at the Table 2 which
usually accompanies each Registration District to see the changes over time.

Originally you only mentioned finding individuals in census records but
even there you didn't look at, or ignored, the registration district of
the census record.

The entry for that district in
https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/districts/index.html would have given you
detailed information, including the county, at the top of the page.
Clicking on the County for the Civil Parish in Table 1 would given you
historical information on that county.

Had you then looked at a good map you would have seen where, physically
it was. Links to useful detailed maps were given in reply to your
original query.

So you have confused yourself by not looking at, and understanding, all
the facts in front of you

and, to help you with trying to sort out Yorkshire:

Quite, and for that very reason I was asking which COUNTY Ingleton was
in, regardless of its regitration distict (apparently Teesdale).

The census page I looked at showed where the person I was looking at
lived at the time of the census itself, and gives detailed information
about that, which happened to be in Lancashire, and did not give such
information about their stated place of birth, viz Ingleton in
Yorkshire.

And different sources give different locations for Ingleton in
Yorkshire, namely Teeside Registration District, West Riding of
Yorkshire and North Yorkshire. .

So my question is, does anyone know if that {larger} could have
indicated an enlargement to include an Ingleton that was previously in
the West Riding of Yorkshire?

You might need an old map or the time to go through the nearest
appropriate census to see which county is at the top of the page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingleton,_North_Yorkshire describes
Ingleton as bordering Lancashire on the north while currently lying in
North Yorkshire. Registration districts originated from Poor Law
districts not local government areas and in many places spanned county
boundaries. The relative lack of "Ingleton, West Yorkshire" hits
suggests that is a descriptive left half v. right half description not
a prescriptive description of which Riding it was/is in. If you are
looking at a BMD register entry then the location in the where
born/died tends to be more accurate than the district/sub-district; a
marriage register entry will tell you where the church is located
which can sometimes be on the "wrong" side of the line in a
cross-border parish. I have some registrations where a registration
district spans three counties or two countries (IIRC Wrecsam managed
to do both at one time) because of the way that Poor Law districts
were arranged.

You don't mean the Teesside Registration District. There was such a
district, but it was a later creation centred on the lower part of the
River Tees, around Middlesbrough. The registration district you are
referring to is Teesdale, which was centred on the upper part of the
river, around Barnard Castle. Both districts spanned County Durham and
the North Riding, however Ingleton in Yorkshire was in neither. The
Ingleton in County Durham was in the Teesdale district.

Yep, my error. I probably typed "Teeside" because I'm more familiar
with it, having visited it and ridden in the vehicles of the Teeside
Railless Traction Company (should "railless have one l or two?). It
was Teesdale I meant.

I know from when previously researching my family, that the county
boundaries and their changes in that area are quite complicated.

Both YORKSGEN and the North Riding of Yorkshire Genealogy Group survived
the ending of ROOTSWEB. You might be better asking there and getting
some local knowledge.

Two. And perhaps more relevantly, Teesside has two s's. It's the side
of the River Tees, not the River Tee.

There is more than one Ingleton
North Yorkshire
OS Grid Ref: SD 69575 73262
Count Durham
OS Grid Ref: NZ 17288 20545
Then of course counties boundaries have also moved!
So if someone lived in Lancashire in the 19th century and was born in
Ingleton, Yorkshire, would they be more likely to have been born in
the North Eiding one or the West Ruiding one?
There isn't a Ingleton in the North Riding (though there are three
places called Ingleby in the North Riding). The Ingleton now in North
Yorkshire was in the West Riding. The Ingleton in County Durham has
always been there, though it is only three miles from the border with
North Yorkshire and before that the North Riding. Lancashire is much
closer to the Ingleton in Yorkshire, which is also the larger and better
known village. (In fact, I'd struggle to describe the one in Durham a
village at all: it's more a hamlet.) Of course, that doesn't
necessarily mean this person came from the Yorkshire one, but it does
tip the balance somewhat in that direction.

For more background ... When the three Ridings (West, North and East)
were replaced with four modern administrative counties (South, West and
North Yorkshire, plus Humberside) in 1974, quite a lot of places moved
between them, and several more areas were removed from Yorkshire
altogether. Many of these changes came about because the old county was
vast and the bulk of its population was in the West Riding. South and
West Yorkshire were both formed out of the West Riding; most of the
Dales (which is the area which includes Ingleton) were transferred from
the West Riding to North Yorkshire; and the areas on the west of the
Pennine mountains were transferred to Lancashire and the new counties of
Greater Manchester and Cumbria. In becoming North Yorkshire, the North
Riding lost Teesside to the new county of Cleveland, and Teesdale to
Durham, and gained the City of York which had not properly been in any
of the Ridings (though often counted as part of the West Riding for
statistical purposes). The East Riding became the new county of
Humberside which also gained part of the north of Lincolnshire, which
change has since been undone and the county name reverted to the East
Riding. There were other minor changes too.

I have other problems with the person, and knowing which person it is,
but the Census information definitely says Ingleton in Yorkshire.

For what it's worth the person I was looking for was a John Miller who
married Margaret Hardman in Scotforth, Lancashire in Dec 1879.

In the 1881 Census he is shown, still in Scotforth, with his wife
Margaret and infant son William. So he is the one I am looking for. He
is aged 23, which means he was born about 1858/59. And his birthplace
is given as Ingleton, Yorkshire, England.

Searching FreeBMD for a John Miller born in Yorkshire gives two
districts with an Ingleton in it -- Teesdale and Settle.

Hence my question about which Ingleton and where was it likely to be,
since a John Miller was born in each of them at the relevant time.

Anyway, thanks for your answer, which has been most helpful to me in
pursuing this particular enquiry.

So if someone lived in Lancashire in the 19th century and was born in
Ingleton, Yorkshire, would they be more likely to have been born in
the North Eiding one or the West Ruiding one?
There isn't a Ingleton in the North Riding (though there are three
places called Ingleby in the North Riding).  The Ingleton now in North
Yorkshire was in the West Riding.
Ah, thank you. That is what I wanted to know!
Post by Richard Smith
   The Ingleton in County Durham has
always been there, though it is only three miles from the border with
North Yorkshire and before that the North Riding.  Lancashire is much
closer to the Ingleton in Yorkshire, which is also the larger and better
known village.  (In fact, I'd struggle to describe the one in Durham a
village at all: it's more a hamlet.)  Of course, that doesn't
necessarily mean this person came from the Yorkshire one, but it does
tip the balance somewhat in that direction.
I have other problems with the person, and knowing which person it is,
but the Census information definitely says Ingleton in Yorkshire.
For what it's worth the person I was looking for was a John Miller who
married Margaret Hardman in Scotforth, Lancashire in Dec 1879.
In the 1881 Census he is shown, still in Scotforth, with his wife
Margaret and infant son William. So he is the one I am looking for. He
is aged 23, which means he was born about 1858/59. And his birthplace
is given as Ingleton, Yorkshire, England.
Searching FreeBMD for a John Miller born in Yorkshire gives two
districts with an Ingleton in it -- Teesdale and Settle.
Hence my question about which Ingleton and where was it likely to be,
since a John Miller was born in each of them at the relevant time.
Anyway, thanks for your answer, which has been most helpful to me in
pursuing this particular enquiry.
Post by Richard Smith
most of the
Dales (which is the area which includes Ingleton) were transferred from
the West Riding to North Yorkshire; and the areas on the west of the
Pennine mountains were transferred to Lancashire and the new counties of
Greater Manchester and Cumbria.  In becoming North Yorkshire, the North
Riding lost Teesside to the new county of Cleveland, and Teesdale to
Durham, and gained the City of York which had not properly been in any
of the Ridings
And that too is useful, thanks again.

Thank you.

The problem, however, is that I am not sure that that John Miller is
the one I am looking for, the one who married Margaret Hardman.

As I said, FreeBMD shows two born in the relevant period, one in
Settle distirc and the other in Teesdale, both of which have an
Ingleton, which is why I was asking for help in determining which
Ingleton was which, and which country which was in.

But since discussion seems to have moved to the particular family I'm
researching, let me explain that.

Yes, I initially thought that John Miller, son of James and Lydia, was
the one I was looking for. But I wanted to look at the other one too,
but couldn't find anything, except in the 1871 census, where he is
shown as aged 12, living with his grandparents, His grandmother was
Martha Durham, and that makes him seem more likely, because on his
marriage register entry he gives his father as William Durham Miller,
and that makes the James and Lydia one seem less likely.

But I have not been able to find that John Miller in the 1861 census,
or any record of him with his parents to show who they were.

I suggest you read my other post of 24/04/2020 13:12 where I have given
you complete details of the family in the 1841/1851/1861/1871 censuses.

The John Miller you found in 1871 is not the John Miller you are looking
for.

You need to review all the search hits and you will find John Millor
with his parents James and Lydia.

Probably the best way to determine the John Miller who married Margaret
Hardman would be to find a copy of the full church marriage record or
certificate which would show the father of John Miller.

This is a bit messy, incomplete and some oddities needing to be resolved
A marriage which might be relevant to that birth?
Marriages Mar 1859
Miller William Durham Lancaster 8e 741
Wilkinson Elizabeth Lancaster 8e 741
and
Name: William Durham Miller
Gender: Male
Age: Full Age
Residence: Ingleton
Father: John Miller
Event Type: Marriage
Event Date: 12 Feb 1859
Parish: Bolton le Sands, Over Kellet, Lancashire, England
Spouse: Elizabeth Wilkinson
Spouse Age: Full Age
Residence: Over Kellet
No father
Thanks again for all theb information you have managed to dig up,
which I think has helped me to sort out this family.

It appears that William Durham Miller married twice, both times to an
elizabeth Wilkinson, in 1859 and 1869. The second one was the daughter
of a Henry Wilkinson.

So I now have:

Name: William Durham MILLER
Sex: Male
Father: John MILLER (1811- )
Mother: Martha Elizabeth DURHAM (1813- )

Birth abt Jul 1836 Nether Kellet, Lancashire, England

Residence Feb 1859 (about age 22) Ingleton, West Riding, Yorkshire,
England

Death abt Nov 1916 (about age 80) Bolton-le-Sands, Lancashire, England
Burial 22 Nov 1916 (about age 80) Bolton-le-Sands, Lancashire, England

Marriages/Children

1. Elizabeth WILKINSON ( -1862)
Marriage 12 Feb 1859 (about age 22) St Cuthbert's, Over Kellet,
Lancashire, England
Children John MILLER (1859- )
Elizabeth MILLER (1861- )

2. Elizabeth WILKINSON (1836- )
Marriage 18 May 1869 (about age 32) Christ Church, Bolton-le-Sands,
Lancashire, England
Children Martha Ellene MILLER (1870- )

Thanks very much for your help in this.

Searching FreeBMD for a John Miller born in Yorkshire gives two
districts with an Ingleton in it -- Teesdale and Settle.
You have to remember that registration district didn't always neatly fit
into counties. The Settle district did – it was in the West Riding, and
included many of the picturesque Dales villages, including the Ingleton
in Yorkshire. However the Teesdale district was not so simple. Until
1974, the River Tees formed the border between the North Riding and
County Durham and this district included places on both sides of the
river. The Ingleton in County Durham was in this district.

I have come actoss several people (surname MILLER or MILLERS) who were
born in or from Ingleton in Yorkshire in the 1851-1871 Censuses.
According to Wikipedia Ingleton was in the North Riding of Yorkshire,
according to FreeBMD it is in Durham,
https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/districts/teesdale.html
and according to GenUKI and the the Parish Locator program I have it
was in the West Riding.
Can anyone give me a clearer idea of where it was?
It depends whether you mean the Ingleton in Yorkshire or the Ingleton in
Durham!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingleton
Ingleton may refer to:
Ingleton, County Durham
Ingleton, North Yorkshire

If you go to the first page of the census records you are looking at you
will find details of the Registrar's District, Sub-District, etc.

The Miller I've just found in Ingleton in the 1861 census is in the
sub-district of Bentham in the Registration District of Settle.

Even the Familysearch record for that entry shows the Registration
District as Settle which helps with the location

If you search for Settle/Bentham/Ingleton on a map you will see that
Ingleton is in Yorkshire.

However, you may be looking at Millers in Ingleton in Durham. You need
to check what you have found in more detail.

No thanks, I will stick to Ordnance Survey and NLS.

I find google.co.uk/maps often surprisingly good - certainly at finding
tiny farms and the like (try Rivergreen Mill [Still shows my car, and me
and my friends, from 2009!], or Greenlawalls). For placenames, it's
pretty good too; sometimes adding a comma followed by a county will help
you find a smaller or less-well-known one.

I suspect it's like it used to be with search engines - you learn the
quirks of the one you are used to.

(I like google maps as I often use the "directions", set to pedestrian,
to see if an adjacent village is likely or not.)

Google Maps do not label everything, it does not recognise NGRs so often
messy to find somewhere, it's maps are not as clear as the OS ones.
