Hello
If anyone is looking at either 1841 or 1851 for Gosforth ( and Whitehaven) area could they look for Mary Elizabeth Bryden (nee Turner, born around 1800 ish, maybe Scotland)
She married John Bryden (possibly around same age) I know they had one son William Turner Bryden born 1824 other children I don't know about.
John was either a Sailor or Tailor according to William's marriage cert.
Any info welcome,
Thanks very much
Cheers,
Meg

Great, many many thanks Jim.
This fits in well as I found a John aged 71 in the 1871 who is living with his daughter Bridget married name Teasdale, the best bit being that her daughter was Mary 'Turner' Teasdale! Another Turner link, (I've found three generations with 'Turner' as a middle name) this has to be him.
Thanks again,
Cheers

I am related to William Bryden, who was a Tailor - all hail from Dumfries in Scotland - if you want to chat about it and are still around, let me know.

Hi Meg2
I don't know if this item may be connected to your John Bryden
Memorial Inscriptions, St Mary's Gosforth;
" James Bryden died 15th March 1849 aged 34 years. He was Surgeon of this parish 11 years. This stone erected by voluntary subscription of his friends by whom he was highly esteemed."
He would have been born abt 1815 and may have been a family relation .
