These are excerpts from "The Dunwells Our Country Cousins", by Elizabeth Barnett, Brisbane, Australia.
Eleanor Dunwell, our connection to Rural England. She is the first branch of our family tree to have roots in the soil outside of the larger cities and towns of England. Still in Yorkshire, but a long way from the smoky skies of Sheffield, but not so far from the seaside life of Scarborough.
Eleanor Dunwell married Thornton Rawling on 22 July 1848 in Scarborough. She was the daughter of David Dunwell an agricultural labourer and Jane Reed, the daughter of Dickinson Reed a farmer from the nearby village of Scalby. She was already living in Dumple, Scarborough when she married, not far from where Thornton lived.
Like her father before her, Eleanor was born in Scarborough, in 1827. She was baptised on 21 October 1827. She was the first born and the only one of David and Jane's nine children to be born and baptised in Scarborough itself; all of the others with the exception of Joseph, were born in the village of Brompton-by-Sawdon; Joseph was born in the nearby village of Snainton. So by 1829, when their next child Sarah was born, the family moved from Scarborough to the nearby parish of Brompton by Sawdon. David Dunwell was a labourer of some sort when he lived in Scarborough, but certainly by 1841 he was an agricultural labourer; that is he worked on farms probably planting and harvesting one of the crops grown in the area, most commonly barley, oats, wheat or turnips, moving from farm to farm. The family stayed in the villages of Brompton and Snainton for all of the years that they were producing their large family. After they moved from Scarborough the next child born was Sarah in 1829, Hannah in 1831, David in 1833, William in 1835, Thomas in 1837, John in 1839 and lastly, Dickinson born in 1846 and probably named after his grandfather Dickinson Reed, Jane's father. Joseph, born in 1841 in the village of Snainton just a couple of miles away from Brompton.
The parish of Brompton has been known by many other names in its history, being known as Brutane in the 11th century, then Brumton in the 12th and 13th centruries eventally becoming called Brompton from the 13th century onwards until today. In 1831 the parish was comprised of the townships of Brompton, Sawdon, Snainton and Troutsdale, although Brompton and Sawdon were amalgamated and became known as Brompton-by-Sawdon. The area of the parish was nearly 11,500 acres of which about 5,000 were arable and under crops, 2,800 were under permanent grass, and therefore would have been used for the raising of cattle and sheep and 800 acres were woodland; the rest is heathland. The area was famous for its limestone and slate. In 1853 slate from Sawdon Moor was used to repair Scarborough Castle. The village of Brompton was not large, but extremely beautiful, situated on the lowest slopes of the hills, lying on the road from Scarborough to York. The population of the parish was 1534 people in 1831; 609 of these lived in Brompton.
Snainton was described as "An uninteresting village lining the main Pickering and Scarborough Road about one an a half miles west of Brompton. There were railway stations at both Brompton-by-Sawdon and Snainton and they also had Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist Chapels."
