John Somer married Elizabeth Parsley 22 Dec 1806 at Stoke Damerel, Devon.  I believe these are the John (aged 89) and Elizabeth (aged 68?) living at Westacombe, Tawstock in 1841 with son Peter.  A 20yo John Somer at Exeter in 1841 is likely their son as well.  A John Somer emigrated to Victoria Australia and his death lists his parents as John Somer and Elizabeth Parsley. 

It's likely Prudence and other Somer's born at Tawstock after 1806 are from this couple.  I would be interested in what you find from the OPC about this family.

Thomas Skinner is buried at the Charles Parish church.  His headstone is right next to the door and next to his wife, Jenny (Barrow) Skinner who died in 1832.  I have photographs of both.

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Daglish Family
« on: Saturday 04 December 10 18:11 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,

This thread has been quiet for a while but I have much to add.

-The parents of Mary Ann, James, Matthew Storey and Abner Daglish were James Daglish (born 14 Nov 1796 at gateshead) and Mary Whinham (Bap 7 Jul 1798 at Kingston Upon Hull, Yorkshire)

-James and Mary married 10 Mar 1816 at Sculcoates, Yorkshire.

-James and Mary had three children born Yorkshire, (Richard, Robert and Robert) before moving to North Shields where they had four more.  The second Robert died aged 7 in 1829 at Tynemouth.

-James was initially a Blacksmith (like his father Richard) and then became an Innkeeper, running the Bull Ring Inn in North Shields in the late 1820's

-You will not find the baptism for Abner in the early 1830's as he was not baptised until age 14 at St Hildas South Shields on 17 nov 1844 listing his birth date as 21 Jun 1830. (I have digital image of this)

-James Daglish appears to have died in the early 1830's perhaps before Abners birth.  On 1 Oct 1834 the widowed Mary Daglish is listed in the Tynemouth Union Workhouse with her four youngest children.  (I have digital image of this)


-Mary Whinham's partents were Robert Whinham and Ann Coats.  Mary had a younger brother called Abner

-James Daglish's parents were Richard Daglish and Mary Hedger.  James had a younger brother called Matthew Storey Daglish who died as an infant.

-All the names of James and Mary's children tie in with their parents and siblings names.

-I'm not sure why Abner listed his father as Richard in his marriage.  It is likely a mistake as Abner likely never knew his father.

-James, son of James & Mary died in a mining accident at Percy Main in 1849.

Hope this helps.

Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage St Hilda's, South Shields 1838 DAGLISH/WEATHERSTON
« on: Saturday 04 December 10 08:03 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Lynne,

Not sure if you have resolved this request yet but I have some info to add.

The marriage record for Richard Daglish and Elizabeth Weatherton show Richard's father was James Daglish and Elizabeths father was Aaron Weatherston.

Richard and Elizabeth were living in Tynemouth in 1841 both listed as aged 20 which means they could have been anywhere between 20 and 25.  Elizabeth Weatherston was baptised at Tynemouth 5th Dec 1817 to Aaron and Margaret Weatherston.

I am trying to determine if this Richard fits into my ancestry.  I have a Richard Daglish baptised in 1819 to father James.  The rest of his family was living in Tynemouth in 1841 also.  The only thing that does not fit is that my Richard was actually born at Kingston Upon Hull.

Do you have any records of this Richard Daglish and Elizabeth Weatherston after the 1841 census?

Regards,

Morris
