Hi Linda,
If you have any further information it would be very much appreciated. I'm afraid Metcalf/Metcalfe is quite a common name in this neck of the woods! :-\
Kindest regards,

Hello again,
I've just noticed this which I'm finding quite confusing .. ..
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,246823.0.html
There does appear to be a couple of conflicting ideas, if you can get back to me Linda - we might be able to help! :)
Kindest regards,
Pels

Linda I do apologise for this but looking at the details so far given - all the information appears to have derived from member submitted records on the IGI, not the actual Parish registers .. ..

Hi Linda,
I have to admit I'm still confused by the way this conclusion was reached by member submitted entries. I don't want to put you off but these types of entries aren't always to be trusted! :-\
According to the IGI:
All children born to Christopher and Ann Metcalf/Metcalfe and Christened at Saint Michael, Ashton under Lyne.
Betty:
Birth - 10th June 1800
Christened - 25th March 1804
James:
Birth - 5th July 1803,
Christened - 25th March 1804
Isabella:
Birth - 25th April 1805
Christened - 30th June 1805
Richard:
Birth - 5th February 1799
Christened - 19th May 1799
Mary:
Birth - 10th June 1807
Christened - 16th August 1807
The above are extracted records from the parish - not member submitted.
Kind regards,
Pels

Hi Pels
Thank you for the information on births and christenings.
No you haven't put me off..
I do volunteer at the Berrima District History Society and know that some of the information is not always correct.

The info I provided wasn't from the IGI, but from source records. Admittedly I haven't seen them myself, but I still beleive it to be reliable. I wasn't aware this information was available on the IGI.

Hi Linda
Children of Richard & Ann taken from the parish register of Bolton cum Redmire (and not from the IGI).
20/11/1825 Jane Metcalfe dau of Richard, miner & Ann of Bolton
13/5/1827 Elizabeth Metcalfe dau of Richard, miner & Ann of Bolton
20/9/1829 Christopher Metcalfe son of Richard, miner & Ann of Bolton
3/4/1831 John Metcalfe son of Richard, miner & ann of Bolton
There are also some baptisms of children born to Christopher & Ann Metcalfe in the same Register, do you think the whole family moved here? I've listed them below, just incase
26/6/1814 Ann Metcalfe dau of Christopher, labourer & Ann of Redmire
26/4/1817 Joseph Metcalfeson of Christopher, labourer & Ann of Redmire
6/12/1818 Dorothy Metcalfe dau of Christopher, labourer & Ann of Redmire

Anita,
If you put Richard Metcalf/Metcale b. 1799 into Family Search you should see what I mean.
As a matter of interest which source records didn't you see?

Someone went to the records office and extracted all of the Metcalfes from the register they held. I have a copy of the list they made. And of quite few other parishes besides

Hi Pels
Would be good to see the list.
I known that Richard Metcalf was born in Lancashire look like Richard & his Parent's Christopher & Ann must have move there.
1841 Census look like they had 3 children born in Hetton le Hole
Ann 7, Mary 4 & Christopher 2 they born in Durham John age 10 born in Bolton Castle so look like only John came to Durham.
Could there be a possible that Richard & Ann had 2 Christopher one born 1829 Bolton Castle the other born in 1839 Easlington.
