Biography

Richard Silburn was born about 1854 in Shiptonthorpe, a village just west of Market Weighton on the main road to York.

Richard is the son of John Silburn and his wife Amelia Trowell. In 1861 he is with his parents just outside Beverley where the main road to Hornsea crosses the River Hull.

Cake Mill Worker 1861 Hull Bridge

John Silbourne (sic) is a worker in the Linseed Oil and Cake Works on the bank of the River Hull at Hull Bridge immediately east of Beverley. His sister Mary is living with him but working as a servant, perhaps at the Crown and Anchor. We find they were both born at Shiptonthorpe west of Market Weighton, not Goodmanham to the north. Amelia (Trowell) Silburn similarly has her birthplace changed from Cottingham to Skidby: perhaps she was born in Skidby Ings close to what is now Dunswell, on the opposite side of Cottingham to the Wolds village of Skidby. The children too might find their birthplace changed as boundaries changed: Hull Bridge was in the Beverley Minster Parish, but would become part of Tickton when it was split off from the huge parish of St John. [1]

Oil Cake Mill 1871 Beckside, Beverley

In 1871 John Silburn was again working in a mill crushing linseed to produce oil and cattle cake, but this time a bigger mill based on Beverley's Beckside, so that again barges could bring the fresh linseed and take away the oil and cattle cake in loads far heavier than horses could pull. [2]

In 1881 he is still beside one of the barge-landings of Beverley as a General Labourer at Beckside [3]
