Hello,
I trying to find out any information about my Gr gr grandfather, one Joseph Topping who was, I believe, born about 1802, Heskett in the Forest, Cumberland, England.
The only proof I have is an entry in "The account book of the Plumpton Wall Overseers of the Poor" reveals that John Gordon's biological father was Joseph Topping, and that Jane Gordon, and later her father, Robert, received 1 shilling & 8 pence per week from the overseers to support her son. In the 1835 accounts a Thomas Brown received 5 shllings and six pence for apprehending Joseph Topping, for not keeping up his bastardy payments."
Joseph Topping may have married twice - once to Jane Armstrong and then to Mary Jackson but I cant find anything concrete anout him.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in Advance
