Researching the Sadler family. Earliest record so far is the marriage at Leake, North Yorkshire of Wilfred Sadler to Mary Welbank on May 31st 1748. They had 5 children. William, born at Borrowby and baptised at Leake 18.3.1748, James, Wilfred, Thomas and Anne.This William, of Borrowby Ings and later farmer at Boscar, Raskelf, married Elizabeth Carter at Kirby Knowle on 23.11.1807. They had eight children. Ann 1813, James 1814, William 1816, Elizabeth 1818, John 1821, Mary Ann 1823, Edward 1827, Thomas 1828.
John was a painter and decorator in Easingwold and had five children. His only son Thomas William lived in Chapel Lane until 1896 and then moved to Leeds. He married Maria Elizabeth Coates of Kilburn 27.May 1882 at Horbury Methodist Chapel,Wakefield. My grandfather William Herbert was their son.

An Edward Sadler younger, born 1788 also farmed at Boscar, Raskelf between 1788 and 1803 and probably longer. The property was mentioned in the wills of Christopher Allenson and his son in law Edward Sadler elder. A link to this branch is being sought.

Maria Elizabeth Sadler nee Coates also boasted links to Herbert Beerbohm Tree. Her living Grandchildren have knowledge of this but I have been unable to verify.

Any information would be gratefully received and I am happy to share my research.
