Title: Mary Maughan and Thomas Thompson
Post by: Bricklewood on Thursday 03 November 11 13:36 GMT (UK)

Hello,

I am looking for any family of Thomas Thompson b 1816 Birtley Northumberland who married Mary Maughan b 1812 Simonburn. They married 1837 in Simonburn I have a file of Thompson names from Simonburn and had some previous information from Harry Coxon who was very helpful several years ago.

I would like to be able to trace back further but I am unsure of their parents and would the same families branch out from Simonburn to Birtley.

Thank you for your reply. Are there earlier records for Birtley or would they come under another parish. The Simonburn record appear to go back further.

Birtley became a parish in 1765 though Northumberland archives have records back to 1730 when it was a parochial chapelry.

Before 1765 it was within the parish of Chollerton
