James married Elizabeth Mason of Thornton Dale in 1730, married by William Hebden, the vicar of St Helens. James died in 1772.

Son of James and Elizabeth was JOHN who married a Miss Maling in 1758 and they in turn had a son WILLIAM who married Mary Hopper in 1780 at Scarborough.

Of this marriage came EDWARD HOPPER HEBDEN (1794 –1880). He was born in the “British Workman” which was an inn near the old pier and went on to become the first Mayor of Scarborough and also Chairman of the Conservative party. If you visit Scarborough Town Hall you will see a painting of a man sitting on a horse, hanging in the entrance hall. This is Edward Hopper Hebden.

Edward also had three sisters – Elizabeth, Mary and Sarah. One married the Rev. W Woodall, which makes the first contact with the banking family.

Edward Hopper married a Mary Tindall (1792-1861) in 1818. The Tindalls were a banking, shipping and ship owning family who lived in Sandside, opposite their shipyards. Tindall ships were East Indiamen, also serving as supply ships in the American War of Independence.
From this marriage came Edward Hopper Hebden jnr. (1819-1895), James who died in Malaga, Spain in 1853, John and William (who eventually took over the bank when Edward Hopper retired), Tindall & Henry as well as daughters Mary, Elizabeth&Lousia.

Mention has been made of the banking family of Woodall and it is at this time that we become aware of the Banking House of Woodall, Hebden and Co. In 1842 Edward Hopper joined “Bell Woodall & Tindall” and by 1845 the bank became “Woodall Hebden.” By 1849 it ws called “Woodall, Hebden & Hardcastle” and was located in Queen Street. Edward Hopper was living at 6 Belvoir terrace.
In 1867, both William and Edward Hopper were listed as bankers with “Woodall & Co” and thirty years later, in Kellys Directory of 1897 William Hebden J>P> is listed as living at Throxenby Hall with Edward Hopper listed as owning a farm at Snainton.

Edward Hopper Hebden Jnr (1819-1895) was born and remained, all his life, deaf and dumb.

John (1825-1895) was a medical man and is listed in “Deacons Court Guide for Yorkshire 1883” as John Hebden MRCS Eng.LSA Lon. and was residing at 3 Princess Terrace in Ripon. He married .Elizabeth Mary Hughes and they had sons Brian Newell and James as well sa daughters, Caroline, Mary Tindall and Helen Maria Lousia.

Brian Newell (1869-1917) was born in Ripon and is shown in the Army lists of 1895 as a 2nd Lieutenant in the 1st Volunteers Battalion, Prince of Wales Own (W Yorks) Regt. His brother James married Margaret Forster and produced Edward William Forster Hebden and Evelyn Constance Hebden, both of whom never married, thus effectively terminating that branch.

However, to return to William son of Edward Hopper Hebden - He married Julia Salmond in 1867 and they lived at Dacre House, Scarborough and Throxenby Hall, just outside Scarborough. At the time of his marriage he held the commission of Captain in the 6th North Yorks & Scarborough Rifle Volunteers, later becoming a Lieut. Col. of the regiment, as well as a Justice of the Peace.

His brother Tindall Hebden (1827-1862) married a Jane Tindall and had a daughter Grace. As a young man he went in to the Royal Navy as a midshipman but did not care for the life, resigning from the Navy and going into the Army as an Ensign. He served in the Crimean War in the 50th Regiment of Foot.

Henry his brother, married Emmeline Bryon and they had issue.

Note : At the stage that my father wrote this, the information known was that the Scarborough branch had slimmed down to two branches : “descendants of William & Julia” & “descendants of “Henry & Emmeline”.. There may well be others
