I am looking for Ralph Emmerson who was born in Crook in 1816 & died in Willington in 1894; Ralph was married to Mary Hedley who was born in France in 1815.
I know of a Thomas Emmerson who was born in Stanhope 4.1.1797 & married Jane Watson.
I think there is a family connection between Ralph & Thomas but I cannot find any evidence of this in the records I have searched.
Anyone else with information please ? --or new search ideas
thanks , Lizzieann

Hello Diddy,
I found the Sunderland Emmersons too - but I don`t think they are the family of Ralph whom I`m looking for; I`ll have to try church records again as I feel Stanhope in Weardale is where they came from.
Regards, Lizzieann
