Elizabeth Seymour late of High Street and The Warren , Hinderwell; daughter of Joseph Henry Tyerman (Senior) also ran the Brown Cow.” Further information has been added; Glen Bennett: “My grandmother Mary Elders was from a Whitby family, whilst tracing her family tree I found my great, great, great grandfather John Featherstone; he was landlord of the Brown Cow in the 1881 and 1891 census. Been there for a pub lunch and pint.” Jackie Rushton assisted with: “My 4th Great Grandfather William Smallwood 1781-1870 was also a landlord of the Brown Cow Hinderwell in the 1820’s, he was also the blacksmith of Hinderwell.” Kathrine Gray advised: “My grandfather Harry Shaw was born in the Brown Cow in 1910. At the time they had a house keeper, there was a brother called Raymond and two sisters, Doris and Mabel.” Ann Newcombe assited and asked: “My great aunt Ellen Ann Boyes was married to a John Featherstone in 1932. He was a policeman at Barnby on his death in 1943. She moved into the Brown Cow to look after John Feathstone’s son (I understand from his first marriage) as his housekeeper, who was landlord at that time.
