Hello,
If you have any records relating to the Meggison family, I would be grateful to have that information.  I was thinking that the Sedgefield entry might well be them. Haughton-le-skerne, Houghton-le-Spring,  Heighington, Auckland, Benfieldside, Bishop Auckland, Bishop Middleham are others. Awaiting your reply with bated breath.

Title: Re: Co Durham Marriages for Longstaff
Post by: Lazarus on Friday 27 January 06 01:50 GMT (UK)
Hi
I am researching the Longstaff family of Bishop Auckland.
I expect that most marriages for the branch I am interested in,were married.bpt. and buried at St Andrews.
A name variation could be Langstaff.
There were several generations of butchers and also inn-keepers.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank you Rewcastle.
I am familiar with Carole Johnson's transcription of the Langstaff/Longstaff Pedigrees.I believe Pedigree 10 ( ? now Pedigree 37) relates to my Langstaff/Longstaff interest.

John Longstaff 2nd son b3.10.1810 married Mary Ann Todd and came to Australia via New York where my late wife's great grandfather was born.
John referred to was a son of Michael Longstaff and Mary Dawson.

Any further help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Lazarus
 Before your Longstaff's moved to Oz, were they one of the families of Longstaff butchers that moved to Monkwearmouth, Bishopwearmouth Sunderland?

I am researching my 5th great grandparents, John Longstaff married Eleanor Sanderson 29th Feb 1808 at St. Andrews Bishop Auckland. Their daughters moved to Sunderland.
Title: Re: Co Durham Marriages

Title: Re: Co Durham Marriages
Post by: Lazarus on Saturday 11 February 06 02:45 GMT (UK)
Thanks again Rewcastle.
I found my Longstaff family,John,wife Mary Ann (Todd) and first children born Bishop Auckland on 1841 Census Newgate St but by 1850 they appear on the Census for New York.John was a painter and gilder.
In 1853 they arrived Melbourne Australia,went to the goldfields then known as Forest Creek.
Within a couple of years Mary Ann died and a daughter suicided by taking arsnic.Another daughter married (three times) whilst father and son moved to Maldon Victoria.
It appears some of the earlier generations were butchers.
Commencing with the 1767 marriage of George Langstaff to Margaret Parker a number of the family became inn keepers,coopers etc.
I am not yet aware of any family having moved to Sunderland.
St Andrews Auckland seems to have been where they were baptised or married.
Any help appreciated.

HI Lazarus

I dont know if you know but the IgI has covered the Auckland Andrew parish registers Quite well.. all of the marriages have been covered.. but there is a gap in the baptisms between 1653 and just pre 1747

I don't suppose there's a Burdett Lambton Brown is there? Married ELizabeth M Brown?  They were both born in Washington, but may have moved south, but then I'm clutching at straws a bit here - possibly married around 1850ish.

Don't go to too much trouble - I should be able to trace a man with that sort of name...

How very interesting!! I bet his second wife was the one who wanted the registry office! Them Browns seem to be a godless lot!!

However, Tom L Brown, son of Burdett Lambton Brown, the theological student appears to be a chaplain at a boys' home in the 1901 census. As a mature student who graduated with a degree in Theology just 2 years ago, this is most heartening news!!

Oodles of thanks, you've all been stars! Your help is most appreciated

County Advertiser Friday Feb 21st 1873

FIRE --- On Wednesday morning, about 5 O Clock a fire broke out in the extensive works of Mr Jerry Robson, house carpenter and joiner, opposite the Bishop Auckland Railway Station and in close proximity to the ironworks. Wear Valley Hotel. Mr Todd's coachbuilding works, and the offices of the gas company. Police constable Coates proceeded to the scene and broke open the door. He also procured some men and buckets from the ironworks, and pitched water on the fire, which was soon extinguished, with little damage. Sergeant Harrison, who was on night duty, was also soon on the spot, having first given information to Mr Robson. The fire had originated in some wood work in connection with the engine, and the works being very extensive, and almost entirely of wood, the timely discovery, and prompt measures adopted it is probable, prevented a great amount of damage. Fortunately a sum of about £10 will cover the loss.

Hi
Seeing you mention Hamsterley ...
My first mention of my ancestor Francis Sill is when he fathers an illegitimate child, Mary, on one Jane Chappellow of Hamsterley in 1804.   I have the bastardy bond but as yet, although I have his marriage in 1807 to Dorothy Atkinson at St Nicholas, Durham and his death in 1825 in Sunderland I have not managed to find a birth for him.   Any viewings would be most helpful.   This is a 20 year search which is not yet resolved!

Hello,
I have 2 births in Sedgefield with  George Meggison as father and I have to wonder if they are both illegitimate births.  How would I find out? I noticed the reference to Bastardy notes in a previous e-mail.
There is  Elizabeth Meggison or Wilson Christening Nov 9, 1816 Parents George Meggison and Mary Wilson
Also, George Meggison or Robinson Christening May 18,1823. Parents George Meggison and Ann Robinson.
I guess it would be impossible to find out if they are the same George as father and what family he belongs to.
Thanks for any helpful suggestions to find out.

In reply to EC3,I notice you have an interest in Todd from Durham,I have a John Longstaff who married Mary Todd by Banns at St Andrew Auckland on 13 June 1835.

I believe Mary was born 20 Dec. 1811 and baptised Jan. 12 1812.
She was a daughter of Christopher Todd 1782-1847 "a native of Nutty Hag near Byers Green and Anni Apedaile.

John and Mary went to New York in 1840s but came on to Australia arriving 1853.At least two children were born New York.

Hi Vicars Wife
I have quite a lot of Todd family data although my main interest is Longstaff.Christopher Todd 1782-1847 who married Ann Apeddaile 1779-1838 had at least nine children including Mary b1811.

Christopher above appears to be the son of a Christopher Todd and Sarah Willey.I do not have an Eleanor but there are numerous children.

The previous generation appears to be William Todd = Jane Rowell and they had at least eight children.

I am advised that the grave of Christopher Todd and Ann Apedaile is in Whitworth Parish Church,near Spennymore in County Durham.

Please let me know if you wish to discuss in depth.

wonder if you could look for a marriage between a John Johnson and a Sarah, do not know her maiden name and not even sure if it will be there, but I have looked through other transcipts and as yet been unable to find anything.  John and Sarah first child was born in 1826 so the marriage could be around about that time.

Hi

With regards to John Johnson and Sarah.  They were living in Pelton on the 1841 census.  Their children were born in Pelton, Thomas born 1826 being the first.

I haven't  been able to locate their marriage, John Johnson born around 1798 and Sarah born around 1803 birthplace listed as Chester le Street.  Have had someone look at the marriages in Chester le Street, and I have looked at some parishes around Chester le Street, but again been unable to find a John and Sarah marriage.  To be honest, I just thought about searching any others just to see if they were listed, with them probably getting married around 1826 it is too early to search the marriage index.  With me not living near Durham, I can't search the parishes for the marriage myself. I am going to send for the birth certificate of one of their children, James born 1838 and it would at least give me Sarahs maiden name.

Hi Dust Fairy

I think that your best bet would be to check the Paul Joiners Index on Genuki and there are lots of John Johnson's...

You have a look on there.. and the codes after the names gives an area of where the marriage took place..

If you do get that Birth Cert you would also be able to check on that list for the Bride as well whick will confirm an area..

Its about all I can suggest..

Just Google for Genuki and have a scout around

Hi there,

I would be really greatful for any info regarding Jane Bainbridge, I believe she was born in 1820 to Christopher and Mary (nee Forster).  She had an illigitimate son in 1838 in the Parish of St. Giles.  I cannot find her anywhere.  The child was brought up by his grandparents.  I assume she must have married between the child's birth and the 1841 census.

I would also be greathful for any info on Featherstone Hogdson as he is named on the birth certificate of Jane Bainbridge's son.  I know nothing about him and would love to find out who he later married so I can trace him further.  The Joiner Index shows 2 entries for a Featherston(e) but I think they are too early.....1813 and 1834.

Thank you in anticipation
Legs

Hello. I read you posting and had a look at my data base. I have 2 Featherstone HODGSON'S one age 22 and one age 44  on the 1861 census.
Do you think they may be yours ? Adamand
Title: Re: Co Durham Marriages
Post by: alllegs on Monday 05 June 06 19:52 BST (UK)
Yes, anything is possible.....

No idea which one could be mine though as I have no idea what age he'd have been when he fathered the child.  Either could be possible.
What area are they in?  I'd be more likely to go for one in a similar area to where Jane was.  She was born in Tanfield.

Thank you for looking

Hi Legs
Tanfield is quite a bit north of them but anything is possible!   If you leave Durham going south-west on the A690 then Tow Law is a bit north where it crosses the A68 and Stanhope is further on where it crosses the B6278.

I know this might be a long shot, but could you check for me the Barnard castle marriage registers for

Ellen TAYLOR marrying Robert BARKLAY sometime around or after 1861?

This was Ellen's parish of birth though she was living in Darlington on the 1861 census. Robert was Irish.

I cannot find the marriage anywhere at the moment.

Failing that get one of the children's Birth certs..if you have'nt already..

Dear Vicar's Wife -

My 3xGt.Grandparents were Robert Hodgkinson & Mary Ann Farrell. Mary Ann was born in Stockton on Tees - Durham and Robert in Wigan.
Would you be able to see whether you have any information on their marriage. This would have been c1845 but no further information on whereabouts in Durham if at all !

In appreciation..........
Title: Re: Co Durham Marriages
Post by: The Vicars Wife on Thursday 05 October 06 09:54 BST (UK)
Hi Emmerline

I have nothing in my data for these names..

But most of the registrars have  an online facility for searching marriages.. for Durham..

I have looked on Durham.. Tees Valley and Darlington.. and only came a across a Margaret for those years..

Looks like they might have been married in Yorkshire..

Ancestry's Beta Index can be searched qtr by qtr all you have to do is register.. and trawl through the marriages.. if you find Mary Ann Farrell in one qtr you can then check on Hodgkinson in that same qtr to see if you get a match

Sorry

Hi Johnscotchpiper

No Stout's in the data..

Just might be worth checking

Hello Vicars Wife - Thank you for your prompt reply. I have had no success with all my efforts in Ancestry etc but will keep looking. Maybe Yorkshire though their first child was born in Rouen, France and then they were all over the U.K. - ending up in Battersea.

Hi to the Vicar's wife,
I wonder if you would be kind enough to see if there are any members of the Pigg or Pigford family in your database and the Towdoff/Toaduff/Todiff family. They moved around the Durham area but I know they were around from about 1784 in Durham, before that they were in Gateshead.
As they are unusual names with so many variations on the spelling I have been having problems tracking them.
Thanks for your time, Kind regards,

Hi
I would love to find further info on my Waltons and Browns.
William walton (from Cockfield)married Elizabeth brown about 1812 Trimdon and they had 3 sons John,William and Miles .John married Ann Rutter I think -William married Jane Pearce in his 50's (1873) but don't know if he was married and widowed and no trace of Miles.
Elizabeths brother Miles Brown (1788)married an Ann (1799 from Ollar) they lived monk hesleden don't know the year but their first son Thomas was born 1821.His other children were Hannah,James,Susmah? Sarah,Elizabeth and Ann.
I'm pretty sure William had a brother Ralph and as most families seemed to have at least four children there are probably loads of them so any info on any Brown or Walton marriages would be fantastic and could help unravel the puzzle that is driving me mad at the mo!!

Hi - would you mind looking please for a baptism in the Auckland churches for a Thomas OATES about 1809 and for a marriage  at St Helen, St Andrew or Witton-le-wear for him to a Jane. Their first child was born in West Auckland in 1830

Thanks for this smashing offer

Hi Benjatine

Nothing in my data for a baptism or marriage of a Thomas Oates..

But from Paul Joiner's index a Thomas Oates was married Auckland St Andrew 1815 if this is of any help

Also just had a quick look on Genuki..
Nothing for Witton le Wear in George Bell Collection
Nothing for St Helen's in the George Bell Collection for marriage

The Vicars Wife

The 1815 marriage according to family search
Thomas Oates = Mary Smith
Marriage:  07 AUG 1815   Auckland Saint Andrew, Durham, England

Many thanks for your reply,and I have to say that my query was on the speculative side,having just looked at the Durham Council Marriage Index,searching for a possible Marriage for one of my Griffiths relatives,a Mary H Griffiths shown on the 1901 Census as the daughter of a William Griffiths born in Cefn Mawr in c 1869 and his Wife Elizabeth(Kell).Mary H was born in c 1890,and yes the Joseph son of Francis did catch my eye,as they lived in Ferry Hill.The possible Marriage is listed for 1908.

My mother was Etherington. I have my grandfather's marriage and one of his brothers but the other siblings are:
Thomas William
Ellen J to Thomas Tallentire - 1898 but not sure exact date or where
Ernest
Herbert
Beatrice Cecilia m Joseph Jackson abt 1915
The ones without marriage dates were born in the 1870s and 1880s so were probably married in 1890s and 1900s.
Please don't go to any trouble but if we have any connections maybe you could send me a PM? I can see you have been bombarded! Thanks  :)

Going off the area Staindrop is right on the border... for Durham and Yorkshire.... I have a family who married in Yorkshire and their kids are born in Staindrop..
might be worth having a look... just to see if they hopped the boundaries...  also worth checking is that Cumberland border..

and Cunnah now with such an unusual surname I recognise this one..
arggg

No wonder..

I have a Christina Cunnah married into my tree who was born C 1899 at Felling she has an illigitimate daughter called Ivy before she married William Owens in 1922
Her father was called Joseph Cunnah who was born C 1869 at Sunderland and her mother was Dorothy Dawson.. These two married in 1893

Thanks for the information Vicar's Wife!!

The Cunnah in my tree is a MARY JANE CUNNAH born 1870 in Sunderland, she married WALTER REYNOLDS in 1892.

Looking at the years and the place it could be a strong possibility that your Joseph Cunnah and my Mary jane could be related, even siblings! It's such an unusual surname.

Ill let you know if i find anything!!

Ah, could Mary Ann be Mary Jane?? I havent been able to find any Cunnah's living in Durham in the 1881 with the same name. It does look like a possible, will have to get the marriage cert for Mary and Walter first, but the bank account cant cope with any more at present!!

Hi Emma

Ive just been having a search for them on Ancestry in 1881 and I cannot locate this family either.. so they could be badly mistranscribed..

All these Cunnah's married in Sunderland area all on Sunderland Registrars site

CUNNAH Jane 1872
HAIG William 1872

CUNNAH Elizabeth 1872
THOMAS William 1872

CHARLTON John C 1876
CUNNAH Christina 1876

CUNNAH Ann 1880
SANDERSON William H 1880

CUNNAH Joseph 1900
ROBERTS Hannah 1900

and these two are from the Durham Registrars site

CUNNAH Mary J 1892 Durham Eastern
REYNOLDS Walter 1892 Durham Eastern
REYNOLS Walter 1892 Durham Eastern
E13 - 146 - Durham Eastern (1892)

CUNNAH Isabella 1900 Durham Western

 I thought that it must be a bad transcription too.

On the 1901 census my MARY JANE says she was born Monkwearmouth, and there is also a MARY KING living in the household down as mother -in- law to head of household which would make her Mary Jane's mother. Her place of birth is down as Chester-le-Street.

Now im thinking did Mary's mother marry a KING when she was a widow or did Mary Jane marry a CUNNAH and then marry walter after her husband died!!

All very thought povoking!

thats exactly what I was just looking for

I had the death and was looking for another marriage

lol

The Vicars Wife

The Mary King could be her husbands mother who has remarried have U explored that option ?

Title: Re: Co Durham Marriages
Post by: soulsister on Tuesday 24 July 07 18:31 BST (UK)

Walter's mother was called Millicent and she was from Panfield in Essex so this couldnt be his mother. His mother died in 1903, 5 years before his father died in 1908, both died in Essex so this MARY couldnt be Walter's mother!

Mary King's age and place of birth both fit in with the census you have, as does Mary Jane's, apart from the Ann/Jane difference!

I cant find a Mary Cunnah nor a Mary King on the 1881 of the right age either!

Title: Re: Co Durham Marriages
Post by: soulsister on Tuesday 24 July 07 19:02 BST (UK)
A long shot but here goes::


JOSEPH CUNNAH died jun qtr 1876, Sunderland aged 46

then there is a marriage:

MARY CUNNAH to ROBERT LACKENBY Mar qtr 1877, Sunderland


1881 Census  RG11  5005/27  p.23

All children now LACKENBY and presumably 2 have left home and Robert's children and their new children.


Then there is a death:

ROBERT LACKENBY   died Dec qtr 1884, Sunderland aged 51


Then another marriage::

MARY LACKENBY married JOHN KING, Mar qtr 1885, Sunderland.


I cant find a death for John King before the 1901 census though, so a bit stuck!!

Tell me what you think!!

Hi Emma

No wonder we couldnt find him yesterday

On the DCC Site the name's down as Connor

The Vicars Wife

You just need your confirmation from that marriage cert now and your set.. lol

and Ive added Joseph and Dorothy's to my list.. to confirm the father..

and that marriage unfortunately is also Register Office at Durham
Title: Re: Co Durham Marriages

It was CONNOR here too!!

I've just modified my post! It does look like the most likely candidate , definitely will be getting the cert though!! Will have to be next month now though  :( have bought too many recently!

Did you notice a WILLIAM CUNNAH living nearby them on the 1851 census??

Looks like another possible son!

Hi TVW,

I hope you can help me, having great trouble finding these two.

Charles Howard b1843ish in Suffolk married Margaret b1843ish in West Auckland.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated
Title: Re: Co Durham Marriages
Post by: The Vicars Wife on Thursday 26 July 07 23:08 BST (UK)
Hi Sadsack

I can find a Charles Howard and a Sarah on the 1871 census.. Would this be them. ??

Living at South Church which is part of St Andrew's Auckland.

Charles Howard 27, Occ Coalminer born Cavenham Suffolk. 
Sarah Howard 27, born St Andrew's Auckland, Durham 
William Howard 4  born St Andrew's Auckland, Durham
Elizabeth Howard 9 months born St Andrew's Auckland, Durham

There's also this marriage

Charles Howard and Sarah Waggot married in 1865

married at Bishop Auckland Register Office I think..

If you know his Father's name you could use the father's name for a checking reference to see if it's the right man.. Certificate would have to be applied for.. :(

Nothing else jumping out at me at the min..

The Vicars Wife

UPDATE..

there's also this marriage

Charles Howard = Elizabeth Dove/Cole in 1885
Which seems to be Chester le Street Register Office

and a Charles Howard and Margaret Mewse married in 1884
which seems to have taken place at St James Church at Castle Eden

There's also this Death from Freebmd

Deaths Jun 1884
Howard  Sarah  41  Auckland  10a 101

Which ties in with the age of Sarah on the 1871 Census..

The Charles Howard = Margaret Mewse could be a second marriage..

it would be worth getting or checking the Castle Eden marriage from Durham Records Office for a fee of £2 they would send you a photocopy of the entry from the parish register's..  this would state if he were a widow when he married Margaret

The entry number for the marriage in the register would be 161

Hope this helps

Yours

Would you kindly look up a marriage between John Wilkinson and Mary Atkinson in the late 1820s please? Their first child was Isabelle Wilkinson born 1828 in Hamsterley (according to census) and baptised in Greatham. Any details on Mary and John would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Amanda

Post by: The Vicars Wife on Sunday 29 July 07 19:34 BST (UK)
Hi Amanda

Nothing in my data for these two

but been having a search about..

There's a Marriage at Gateshead Wilkinson and Atkinson that both match up for years.. but I have managed to eliminate these two as they both marry in 1825  but not to each other... lol

and the only other one at the min between 1820 and 1828 that I can find a match for is

John Wilkinson 1824sh,      Stranton
Mary Atkinson 1824sh..

Stranton is just on the outskirts of Hartlepool and Greatham isnt that far away from there either..

If you contact Durham Records Office.. for a fee of £2 for photocopy of the said marriage...  or phone them up and they should be able to tell you if this is a marriage between John Wilkinson and Mary Atkinson..

With two such popular names... I wish you all the luck in the world..

Yours The Vicars Wife

Thank you so much for taking the time to check my Atkinson and Wilkinson marriage. I was already aware of the Stranton entry and suspected this would be mine but had a niggle that there could be a marriage in Hamsterley; at least this has put my mind to rest and I can now follow up the Stranton leads!

and they were definately not married there..

The Vicars Wife
Title: *completed* Re: Co Durham Marriages
Post by: amanda t on Sunday 29 July 07 22:47 BST (UK)
Thank you once again.
Your efforts have prompted me to look up the Stranton marriage at Family History On Line and have a date for the marriage as 24th May 1824.
Stranton is the next village on from Greatham where my Wilkinsons lived through the 1841 and 51 censuses when they were plate layers building the railway from Seaton Carew to Billingham. There is an Atkinson family living in Greatham at this time who may be related to Mary.
Mary listed Morely (Aukland St Helen 1805) and Hamsterley as her place of birth in the census, I have assumed her family were based there rather than Greatham. Her husband John Wilkinson is listed as being born in Middridge (Auckland St Andrew) 1792. I suppose my next stage is to search the baptism records of these parishes, I'll have a look through the IGIs first.
This should keep me busy for a while!
Thanks !!!

I have quite a few Pearson's around the Auckland area but for 1900 ish..

Nothing in my data for a Sunderland marriage

Sory nothing in my data for these two either.. and nothing showing on the Sunderland or Durham registrars websites which is strange. Looked at Hewison Hewitson Stevens Stephens

Nothing in my data for this marriage

On the Durham Registrars website

there's a marriage at Chester le Street showing on Freebmd for the Sept qtr 1888 for a John Hewison only one spouse showing an Elizabeth..

You might have to ring the Registrars at Bishop Auckland..which is where all the bmd's are now kept..

Do you know his Father's name ?? as it would help as a checking point.. if not I would try and track down the child's Birth Certificate and order it.. it would confirm both of the parents names.

There's this Birth showing on Freebmd

Hi Vicar's Wife,

I have now got the information that you wanted from the 1901 census about John Hewison. The family now live at High Hold, Pelton. John Hewison (head) is 39, Platelayer born at Pelton. Mary Hewison aged 42, wife born at Pelton, Sarah, 12 b.Pelton daughter. Margaret M Hewison daughter, age 9, born West Pelton (my relation) and Joshua G Stewart, boarder age 15, Colliery Labourer b.West Pelton. I am wondering if Joshua could be a clue and Mary may have been Mary Stewart before marriage.

You also asked about John's father's name which was Thomas and his wife was Margaret. The whole family seemed to all live in the Pelton area and didnt move far at all.

Hope this helps trace one or both marriages. I may need to order Margaret Makepeace Hewison aged 9 above, birth cert, if not. How do I get that?

Carol.
Title: Re: Co Durham Marriages
Post by: cbp on Tuesday 07 August 07 23:20 BST (UK)
I think there is a connection with the Stewart line. I have found Robert and Mary Stewart living at Handon Hold in 1881 and this is where the Hewisons lived.  Robert 23 a Grocers Assistant born in Scotland and Mary 26 born at Beamish. In 1891 they are living in Heworth Gateshead St Edmonds, together with Joshua aged 5. I have found a death of Robert Stewart in 1899 but dont know if its the right one and also a marriage of Robert Stewart and Mary Dixon in 1879 in the Durham northern area. Can you check this marriage to see if it could be right and then look for John Hewison and Mary Stewart between 1899 and 1901.

Thank you very much.

Carol.

Hi Carol

I would be very tempted if I were you to order both of the Birth Cert's one for Sarah and the one for Margaret..

The Birth Certs would give you both the parents names.. which would include their maiden names.. then it might be easier to search under their names rather than Hewison.. as there could be a wide variety of spellings for Hewison.. and of course it all depends on the handwriting..

I dont know what else to suggest really..

because its not showing on the DCC site.. its hard to determine if the marriage was church or register office..

the Chester le Street reg district covers a wide range of churches..

so the only way to be sure of where the marriage took place would be to order it  :(

I would recommend anyone to get their main line certs for Births Deaths and Marriage.. as its the only way you know for sure.. your following the right line..

Glad to be of service..

Hello,
I don't know if a marriage registration will show the parent's names.  I have a Robert Meggison who married Jane Davison on Jun 26, 1773 in Sedgefield, Co. Durham.  I have never been able to find his parents and would love to do so.  Is there any way to find out the details of this marriage in the hopes that the parents will be revealed.  According to his headstone in St. Edmund the Bishop in Sedgefiled, Robert was born abt. 1730. He raised his family in Hardwick Mill, just outside Sedgefield.

Hi,

If possible could you check if you have a marriage for a Robert Walker (b c 1797) and an Elizabeth (b c 1807). 

Robert born Durham (all I have)  Elizabeth born Hetton le Hole. 

Their first son Christopher born and christened 1826 Hetton le Hole, so presuming that's where they married.

Thank you for your time,

I have been looking for a marriage of Jane MAUGHAM who I believe is a 3 x gt aunt, bn abt 1806 sister of Alexander bn Sherburn 1805 (Mar Dinah ROSS GRAY) and Matthew MAUGHAN Houghton Le Spring 1809 Mar (Mary TAYLOR) their parents Matthew MAUGHAM and Esther FORD.  I haven't found this marriage yet! 

Other names KELLETT, ROSS, GRAY, ARMSTRONG any MAUGHAM marriages??

My family tree was deleted by my son when updating my computer!!  I believe I had found a Jane MAUGHAM!!  I started putting into Family Tree Maker in 1994 when I began my research.



Regards

Hello!

Do you have anything for Forsyth (Lumley or Chester le Street) or Beany (Washington, Usworth, newbottle or maybe Sedgefield). Both families moved round the area quite a lot, but didn't tend to move out of the area!

Thanks

Hi Ashley,

Thanks for the info.  Am I right in presuming that was her MAIDEN name?

Joan  :)

Post by: JosiahS on Monday 07 January 08 14:08 GMT (UK)
Hi Joan

That was her name at the time of marriage (i.e. she was a Walker before she married Robert) - from the index I don't know if she was a widow or whether it was her maiden name.
You would have to get someone to check the register to find that out.

Hi Joan

No problem

You can get free access to the George Bell Index on the Genuki site under the church records section - quite a lot of the Durham parishes are available for certain dates.

Hi Vicars wife could you please look on your database for:-

 Cleminsons who lived in Stanhope marriages to Smith, Vannen and  Headley and
 Lindsays who lived in Houghton le Spring (1800 - 1900)

That will do for now as my whole research is based around mainly Durham and some in Cumberland - thanks for any help you can give

18 Aug 1808  Henry Thompson = Ann Clemison
23 May 1813  Thomas Wilkinson = Ann Clemmison
24 Aug 1822  Joseph Maddison = Barbara Clemison
9 Dec 1823  William Clemison = Hannah Hill
18 Mar 1826  Thomas Clemison = Jane Whaley
24 May 1834  Alexander Cleminson = Sarah Ord

Hope this helps

Hello, Doreen. I have a Harry Pinkney marrying a Catherine Heslop (b. Stockton in 1900), daughter of Cuthbert Heslop. She is the sister of another Cuthbert. He is the father of Michael Heslop, who now lives in Canada. I'm afraid this gives you little detail on the Pinkney family but might give you an area to check back from..Ron H.

Hi

I am looking for information about the Johnson's including Robert Johnson  born 8 July 1811, I know he had a son also called Robert who was born 1847 in Hetton Le Hole and married Mary Curthbert born 1852 South Moor in Durham.

Robert (1811) his father was John born 1780 and married Sarah Jobling both were born in Chester Le Street.  if you can find out anything else before this i would be greatful. 

On my father's side (grainger) with help from others the family has been traced back to the 1615 and would love to be able to do this with the Johnside also.

Hoping you can fill in a few details for me.

Hi, I'd be really grateful if you could look at the Barnard Castle records for me.

I have a John Hansell b. c 1811 marrying Mary b. c 1815, their first child was born 1837 so I guess marriage 1830 to 1837. John was from Glaisdale in North Yorkshire but Mary was from Barnard Castle, and they were in Barnard Castle for many years so I think they married there! I'd love to find any information on Mary as I don't know anything else about her.

Many thanks

Hi all
Vicar's Wife has not been online for a few weeks and an earlier post says she has not been well so bear with her if you do not get an immediate reply.    You may find Durham records online helpful or put a separate request on the Durham Look Up board with the parish etc in the title and some other rootschatter may be able to help you.

Hi Fernvic

Family search has the marriages you are looking for as

William Batey/Ann Mclish married 15th May 1837 Lanchester Durham

John Noble/Mary Kirkley 7th March 1842 St Andrews Auckland.

You might be able to find their marriages in the parish records.

http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html? Clickon where it says Euope and scroll down to England,Diocese of Durham Bishops Transcripts. Maureen

I use that to find my husbands family

Hi,
I don't know if you go back as far as 1750 but I am still looking for a marriage between Robert Meggison and Hannah someone. I am not sure where the marriage took place but they had 6 children baptised between 1759 and 1769 at St. Edmund the Bishop in Sedgefield while they were resident at Hardwick Mill.  Then there was a marriage of a daughter Hannah born in 1852 to Ralph Bell.  That marriage was in Nov. 1773 at St. Edmund, the same year as Robert remarried to Jane Davison (in June)
I have searched extensively for the first marriage of Robert and also for his birth, both of which escape me.  Robert's monumental inscription says that he was from Hardwick Mill and he died Aug 7, 1792, aged 62 years.
Would be ecstatic if you were able to find this marriage.

Hi Peggy
I can't find a marriage for Robert Meggeson and Hannah in Sedgefield.The only one I can see in Family search is for Robert Meggeson and Hannah Dunwell 19th June 1769 Kirk Hammerton Yorks.So I don't think that would be the one.

If you click on the posting I sent to Fernvic,a couple back from this posting,you will see the link for the Parish records.
Sedgefield only starts from 1769.One of Robert and Hannah's daughter's Baptism's is there. Dorothy Meggeson Baptised 5th Nov 1769.You will find that on  Page 3  Sedgefield.

Also on page  11 you will find the marriage for Robert Meggeson and Jane Davison.26 June 1773.

You might be able to find the other children of Robert and Jane on there as well.
 The marriage for Hannah Meggeson and Ralph Bell  married 28 Nov 1773 are on page 11 as well.

 There is a death for Hannah ..wife of Robert Meggeson  buried 7th May 1773.also on page 11

Hope that helps.Maureen
