This prominent headstone by the ‘front’ door of St Oswald’s, Filey, remembers Peter TINDALL (sometimes TINDALE) and Jane LORRIMAN and two of their children, Mary and John. Another child, George, was baptized in this church on the 7th September 1805.
The carved anchor and rope on the stone clearly indicate the family’s connection to seafaring but I’m not sure how close they were to the shipbuilding Tindalls of Scarborough. I wrote a post on LaF titled Shipowners’ Wives, focusing on Jane and her twin sister Mary, and took it for granted that Peter was a builder of ships or a master mariner. Reading John Rushton’s article today, though, I couldn’t link him to the Scarborough clan with any certainty.
Filey Genealogy & Connections gives Peter and Jane six children but the ten-year gap between George and Elizabeth suggests there may be several more – or one less. FamilySearch has the first five but I haven’t found Elizabeth on the World Tree yet.
George and his siblings are scattered scraps of pedigree – the parents have multiple duplicate IDs. I looked for an hour or two on Find My Past for marriages and deaths of the children without success. I also searched British Newspapers without discovering anything about the Filey Tindalls.The monumental inscription records the death of George’s oldest brother John in the West Indies but no age or date is given. The “late” Reverend John Tindall features in a number of news reports that indicate he ministered in the West Indies but it appears he hailed from Devon.
In 1838, Captain Alexander Tindall of the Mazeppa, out of Scarborough, married Eliza WALKER in Hartlepool. Two Scarborough shipbuilding families were thereby joined – Alexander was the son of John Tindall of Knapton Lodge.
The best I can do is remove the duplicate records on FST and leave the pedigree tidy for the present day representatives of the family to happen along and add their sources.

Hi Lisa, I don’t have the Harry Lorriman connection but in the 1851 census see Isabella and James in Wenlock Place with the Harrington family as boarder/lodgers. As far as I know, all the Wenlock Place dwellings were demolished many years ago but they were obviously big enough to house two families. Maybe not “regular” (or regulated) boarding houses. Do you know why the CARRs left Ireland?

Thanks for the offer of information and photos of your great grandmother, Annie. Your Carr and Clarkson families seem to have lived in Filey for a while before moving on. I have not yet found any descendants who are “resting eternally” in Filey St Oswald’s churchyard (my main focus of interest). The Harrington lodgers may have been relatives – or perhaps Irish friends who came over with James and Ellen. Filey Genealogy & Connections has four children born in “Brayfe” and a fifth child Henry born in Filey in 1852. The Wenlock Place houses were demolished a long time ago but the entryway to them in Church Street is still visible. Not much help, sorry.
