Some good info there.

Hi Adam
Can you give me any detail on the Robinson's you have from St Helen's?
Thankyou
Claire
-
Hello Claire. What dates are you looking for.
Adam.
-
Hi Adam
Mid to late Eighteenth Century I think
I have a John Robinson who had children beginning in 1740 so I guess he will have been born around 1710-20. His children's births span from 1740 - 1757. I don't know if any of them died young, but I suspect they did. I am particularly interested in John and if there is a gravestone if there is any mention of his wife. I have not found his burial yet, but think it will be in this parish.
If you need any more info then I will give you as much as I can!
Thanks for all you help

Hello Fernvic. Posted the St Helen inscriptions 8/May/08.
They were in two parts because I did not know what responce I would get if I posted them all together.
There are no Dewell gravestones.
There are at Etherley and Crook.
Adam

Hi Adam
are any of the Robinson headstones dated as late as 1978-1980 and if so are any of them for an Elizabeth?
regards
Yvonne
-
Hello Yvonne. There are no Elizabeth Robinsons at St Helen churchyard.
I think for that date you would need the small municipal churchyard on the West Auckland to Darlington road.
Sorry I have not done that one.
Adam
-
Hi Adam
Thanks for looking
Yvonne

Hi Adam

Hello again. Just noticed that you posted this in the wrong place.
There are two sections for St Helen, Auckland.
If you want to find it just Google it by typing in the box M Inscriptions St Helen, Auckland.
Two will show, you can then view the surnames in the correct one.
Adam

Hi Adam
Thanks for the information - it was a great help.

Hello Adam.
Inscriptions for SUMMERSON please, from 1890`s onwards.
Thanks,
Hinton
-
Hello Hinton. I have no inscriptions after 1890's ( if that is what you mean by 1890's onwards
Adam
-
Hello Adam,
Yes, that is what I meant. That is when they featured in my family tree. I thought I would be saving you some time in yr look up.
Hinton.
-
Hello Hinton. The reason why I asked was because I had dates for the summerson gravestones for 1831,1841,1863, 1870, 1887, 1884,1885 and 1889.
All at West Auckland.
Adam

Thanks for that Adam.
Our first Summerson connection began with a marriage in 1893 at West Auckland.

Hi Adam
I hope you can also help me my 4*gt gd father William Wilkinson born 11 August 1761 parents Thomas Wilkinson and Mary brown he marries Elizabeth Race 15 May 1794. I have seen various trees including mine that say that Elizabeth dies 1818 (I have found a record for this in Hamsterley nothing in Auckland St helen)
Then William dies 1812 I can't find anything to substantaite this so I wondered if you had a monumental inscription for him or better still both of them
Hope you can help
:)
Helene
-
Hello Helene. There is only one gravestone for Wilkinson at St Helen and I have already posted it on a previous posting.
There is one out of 16 gravestones for Wilkinson at Hamsterley that mentions William and Elizabeth and son Thomas. I think you already have that?
I must say that most of them are from the 1900's
Adam
-
Hello Adam,
Could I ask you if you could look for any of my Coates family please ?

Thanks
Jan
-
Hi Adam
Thanks very much for looking. The last child Elizabeth had was in 1810 in Auckland St Helens parish which is why I was trying to eliminate that possibility thanks for trying
Helene
-
Hello Jan. There is one for Coates and one for Jackson but you have put the request on the wrong list. The lists were St Helen A to O and P to Y.
It is important to get the name on the correct list so others who are researching various names can find them easy.
Also The inscriptions that I have are the names that are listed on the first posting
If the name is not there then I do not have the inscription.
Here are the Robson inscriptions :-
To the memory of John Young Robson, son of John and Ann Robson of Hunwick, farmer, who died March/21/1854 aged 2 years.
Also of William Robson, who died April/9/1863 aged 1 year and 10 months.
Also the above named John Robson, who died March/25/1873 aged 45? years.
This next stone was in a bad condition but I will give you what can be read.
Sacred to the memory of Margaret Robson, wife of ?????????
of Wide Hope, ????????????? the 25/1816 ????????????????? wide Hope ?????
1838
Sorry but that is the only lettering left that could be read.
Affectionately in memory of Mary Robson, wife of George Robson of Royal Oak, who died 7/November/1864 aged 71 years.
Also the above George Robson, who died April/2/1879 aged 74 years.
-
Oh Sorry Adam, didnt realise!!!
Thanks for looking anyway, should I put the question on another list for Coates & Austin ??
Thanks for the info for the others,
Jan
-
Hello Jan. Yes please. keep the threads separate.
There is a Jackson and a Coates on the A to O thread for St Helen, West Auckland. Austin? I do not see that name on the list.
Adam

Adam

Thanks Adam, this is great.
Has opened a few potential doors!
-
Oops! I too posted a question on the - alphabetically - wrong page St Helens
Meantime, I came across this site listing MI's for St Helen's (& presumably other parishes?) ...might save Adam some legwork?
Sadly the Wades listed don't look to be part of my family.
Regards
Robert Wade
www.interment.net/data/eng/durham/sthelen_auck/
-
Hello Robert. It does not save me any legwork because I already have all the inscriptions on my data base.
One thing that I will point out is that that list is not as complete as my list because I include all information.
For example one(Wade) gravestone gives a Jane Matthew wife of Thomas Matthews and daughter of George and Rachel.
I had a look on my data base out of interest because I thought the name Wade would be quite common.
It was not because there are only 3 other gravestones, two for Stanley, Crook and one for Mugglewick .
Adam
-
Hi Adam
Do you have any Holburns. I know of at least one baptism in St Helens, Auckland, but just wondered if there are any gravestones.
Many thanks
Mo
Oops!! just noticed earlier post.

Hello Mo. Sorry no Holburns.

Hi are there any matthews in this church please,
gilbert

Hello Gilbert. Here they are:-
In memory of Thomas Matthews, late of Heighington, who died on the 30th January 1864 aged 82 years.
Sacred to the memory of Jane Matthews, wife of Thomas Matthews of West Auckland and only daughter of George and Rachel Wade of the same place, who with christian fortitude and resignation departed this life May 6th 1822 aged 37 years.

Hi Adam
Hope you can help with these Robinsons.
I'm looking for John Robinson. I don't have a date of his death. This is what I have on him and his family.
John Robinson b. 1822 Hamsterley, Durham, his wife Jane b. about 1837 Newcastle, son John George b. 1862 in Helmington Row ( was in Canada 1916), Thomas b. 1870 in Rough Lea, Durham, William b. 1872 in Rough Lea, Ralph b. about 1878 in Crook.
Would be nice to know where they are buried.
Thank
Aley
-
Hello Aley. The Robinson name is very common amongst the records that I have. In fact there are hundreds.
I have looked at all the gravestone with the christian names that you supplied and none of the gravestones with the correct dates come anywhere near "datewise".
It looks like the Robinsons of your family do not have any gravestones left standing.
Adam
-
Thanks you Adam for looking.
I do know now that John Robinson died between 1881-1891. He is on the 1881 census and not the 1891. His wife is a widow at that time.
Aley
-
Aley, as the Robinson were living in the Crook area on the census you've be better off posting on Adam's Crook MI thread.
Have you searched freebmd for John's death?
Jay
-
Hi Aley
I live at Edge Knoll Farm and have the history of a William Morras emigrating from here to America in 1849. Mayland Lea farm is west of hamsterley and south of hamsterley forest.
There has been a farm at Edge Knoll since Saxon times.
