Hi Guys,
Bit confused as to where Wallwick Grange is. I thought it was in Wall/Fallowfied and part of St John Lee Parish. The Grange was owned by William Errington when built but then John rebuilt it & called it Chesters. Thing is the building looks to be the other side of the river now.
Lancelot Robson had 4 children while living in Fallowield between 1798-1804 & 4 while living in Wall 1806-1815. He died in 1833 & a head stone in St John Lee Churchyard has him living at Wallwick Grange when he died. (Now Walwick?}
Lancelot's wife Dorothy lived out her years at Acomb with Robert the eldest son.
How do I find who was living at Wallwick Grange in 1841 as I'm not sure of the boundary line?
Any help appreciated Thanks

It is in the parish of Warden in 1841 - then the sub district of Chollerton and then within District 3. In 1841 Robert Hislop age 52 was living there with his family plus Robert Parker and family

Thanks Kay
Chollerton is one of those places that seems to cover lots of different places like Warden.
So for BMD reg purposes Hexhan would be the RO & Chollerton a Sub RO?
I have seen some relatives classed as from Chollerton but they were born in Warden or Wark etc

Walwick Grange is not the same as Chesters (it was in Warden Parish)

Hopefully this helps with the Reg District and Sub Districts https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/districts/hexham.html

From Wikipedia
"William Errington of Walwick Grange was High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1739. His son John built a new house at Chesters (Humshaugh) in the 1770s."
I think I saw Chesters on the Dual Map & it is called that now?

Chesters was built for John Errington of Walwick Grange and is a Grade II* listed building.

Lancelot Robson was my 4x GGF. Where did you find the information about him?
