Hello everyone and happy new years..
I am wondering if you might be able to help me please.
I have been trying to find information on John Burdon. I have tried ancestry and newspapers but I carnt seam to find out dates or Information on them.. I am wondering if he maybe related to the well known Mr Bardon.
John Burdon:
Born at Burden in the Parish of Bishop Wearmouth, County of Durham.
Buried at Bishop Wearmouth, near Cleadon.
Hannah Bainbridge: Daughter of William Bainbridge of Whitburn, County of Durham.
Baptism: Baptized September 20th, 1725.
Burial: Both John and Hannah died at Sunnyside and were buried at Bishop Wearmouth.
Thank you ever so much.
Kind regards

I’m assuming that your query is about the John Burdon at the top of your document.
There is a burial record:
Bishopwearmouth, County Durham , St. Michael & All Angels
9 Jan 1804 John Burdon, of Sunniside, Whitburn, age: 86, died 6 Jan 1804, yeoman
That would point to a birth ~1718
There is a baptism record that fits:
Bishopwearmouth, County Durham, St. Michael & All Angels
14 Oct 1718 John Burdon, of Burdon, son of John Burdon
The marriage that is recorded in your document is:
Bishopwearmouth, County Durham, St. Michael & All Angels
11 May 1758 John Burdon (of this parish) married Hannah Bainbridge (of this parish), by Banns
For this to be the John Burdon of the baptism and burial records he would be marrying at the age of 40. I don't see any candidate for an earlier marriage for him at Bishopwearmouth. But there again Hannah Bainbridge was baptised in 1725 so their ages match quite nicely.

The three baptisms that I can see for the children of John and Hannah Burdon (Hannah 1759; John 1762; Elizabeth 1765) all have the abode recorded as Spring House. There is also this burial record for abode Spring House at that period:
Bishopwearmouth, County Durham , St. Michael & All Angels
17 Nov 1762 William Bainbridge, of Spring house, age: 79, yeoman

Hi, a very interesting document. Are you referring to John Burdon of Hardwick Park, Sedgefield when you refer to the well known John Burdon?
At first glance I cannot see any links, however Hannah seems to be a family name.
If you are researching him, I have quite a lot of information, gathered by my mother and sister.
