Where Born - Northumberland, 'Chatners'?
Can only find 'Chartners' farm\house in Rothbury, near Ewesley in the middle of a new forest, I think?
Any other ideas?

Jane says 1851 census she is born Rothbury so the farm maybe correct John Hood is a carter 1841 census.
The daughter Jane could a servant in newcastle 1851 census

What is Jane's maiden name. Might be able to look her up in Rothbury and see what it says there.

I think it is Thompson!?
I was looking at Margaret Young, Visitor, Farmers Daughter on the 1861 census. Her marriage cert. of 1863 said her father John Young was a farmer in Choppington, Bedlington Parish.
Can't find John, wife or young Margaret in 1851 or 1861. Taking a bit of a leap in assuming that Margaret might be the niece of Jane (Thompson) Hood.
One of Margaret's children was called Elizabeth 'Thompson' Birkley.
So tracking her birthplace, and\or family. ???

In the relevant era the Parish of Rothbury comprised 28 "townships".
Within the township of Hepple ( lying 5 miles south-west of the village of Rothbury) there was a settlement/farm called CHERTNERS.
Discussing Norman roots of place names in his book " Goodwife Hot, Northumberland's Past in its Place Names", Godfrey Watson writes...
" Chertners takes its name from the Chartenay family. "
