Stephen Maltus of North Leys, Ripon
There is also a Stephen Maltus family of North Leys.
Although this family (Stephen and his wife Frances) do end up at Bondgate later,
I think they are a
separate family (rather than Stephen's 2nd marriage)
because there is another William
(and we know the first William above
survived infancy because of the age on his grave,
which matches his baptism date).
Stephen Maltus,
or Malthouse,
of
North Leys, in the parish of Ripon.
He mar 5 Jan 1737-1738 [Ripon] to
Frances Long [of North Leys].
He is described as "of North Layes" at William's bapt 1738.
Described as "of North Leys House" at Mary's bapt 1740.
"Frances, wife of Stephen Maltus, Bondgate" was bur Ripon, 26 July 1785.
"Stephen Maltus, Bondgate" was bur Ripon, 17 Nov 1786.
They
had issue:
- William Malthouse, bapt 13th May 1738 [Ripon].
- Mary Malthouse, bapt 27th May 1740 [Ripon].
Mawtus
Although our family records are all spelt "Maltass",
the
[Rees family papers]
suggest that a variety of similar phonetic spellings
do refer to the same family,
and the Ripon parish registers (in interchanging spellings for the
same individuals)
clearly support that.
So possibly
related are:
Malpass
Possibly not related is the spelling with a "p".
- Malpass of Yorkshire,
ancestors of:
- Mark Malpass.
He mar Joan Lambshead.
Joan is researching Malpass family tree.
- There is a Malpas St off Clanbrassil St in Dublin.
