There were two Anthony Milner marriages close together:
21/6/1740 At Muker Anthony Milner and Isabel Blenkiron both of the parish of Grinton PB; and
1/5/1742, At Muker Anthony Milner and Ruth Alderson both of the parish of Grinton PB.
FHL Film Number 207565, 942.74 G4 V26C

There are at least two Anthony's having children at about the same time in Muker so the above two marriages are most likely to different Anthonys.  The baptisimal records seem to distinguish them by location of the father ie Anthony Milner of Muker and Anthony Milner of Rampsholm and in one case Anthony Milner of Calverts House.

So it is possible that the families are:

Anthony Milner of Rampsholm probably the husband of Isabel Blenkiron married 21 Jun 1740.  As there was likely also a son Anthony in this family, this father Anthony was probably the son of Anthony - baptised 17 Sep 1717.
Isabel -  11 Jul 1741         -  of Calverts House
Edward -  18 Feb 1743/4  - Rampsholm
Isabel -   15 Dec 1748      - Rampsholm
Ann    -   15 Sep 1755      - Rampsholm
Ralph  -    9 Jun 1759       - Rampsholm
Burial: 19 Apr 1773 Anthony son of Anthony Milner of Rampsholm.  This burial is probably that of a child of the above family.

Burial Grinton: 22 Mar 1770 Anthony Milner.  This could be the above Anthony.

Anthony Milner of Muker probably the husband of Ruth Alderson  married 1 May 1742.  Using Childrens names this Anthony is probably the son of James baptised 7 Jun 1718.
George   - 17 Dec 1743        - Muker
James    - Burial date 12 Feb 1744 -  Muker
Eliz.    - 03 Dec 1746          - Muker
James    - 26 Jul 1749        -  Muker
Margaret - 22 Aug 1752    -  Muker
Hannah   - 25 Sep 1755     -  Muker
Ruth     -  9 Sep 1759        -  Muker
Mary     -  6 Jun 1764        - Hart Lakes

Burial Muker: 6 Feb 1766 Anthony Milner Householder of Hart lakes. This is likely the burial of this second Anthony due to the reference to Hart Lakes.

Note the above Ruth wife of Anthony appears to be buried 29 Dec 1799, wife of Anthony Milner of Harkerside, aged 84.  ie born abt 1715.

There is another burial which could be the father of the first Anthony above although he is likely to have been buried in 1735.  Burial Muker: 30 Jan 1757 Anthony Milner Householder of Muker.


The Milner family had lived for many years in the Swaledale area as quoted in Edmund Cooper's book "Men of Swaledale" page 72.

From the minutes of the Richmondshire Quarter Sessions comes this item:-
1606- Richard Milner, of Rashe, yeoman, being accused of sorcerie, witchcraft, inchantment, and telling of fortunes, shall make his submission at Mewkarr (Muker) Church upon Sunday next in the tyme of Divine Service and confess that he hath heighlie offended God and deluded men, and is heartille sorrie and will offend no more.

Grinton is the capital town of Swaledale, the next Dale north of Wensleydale. It is about 6 miles north west of Leyburn, and about 9 miles west of Richmond. Grinton's parish was originally huge, stretching west to the Westmorland border.

The Harkers, Milners, Aldersons, Metcalfes, Peacocks, Keartons etc. were all members of the 12 big clans of Upper Swaledale.
