The Common Room / Re: Looking for my 5 x Great Grandfather Matthew Clough/ Cleugh

Hello Jemilla,
In your introductory posting you stated, referring to Matthew,
“He was born around 1770-1778 in Northumberland, UK, it was likely that he was born in Longbenton. He married Phyllis Parkin, who was the daughter to George Parkin and Isabel Crone.
I believe they had 5 children together:
John Clough B 1801-1881
George Clough B: 1803-1877
Mary Clough B: 1805
Matthew Clough B: 1807-1878 (my direct line)
Isabel-Ann Clough B: 1811-1812”
Well firstly I only have four children. I suppose, rather puritanically, I have accepted George as their eldest son. Matthew baptised 25th February 1770, married Phillis Parkin, baptised 26th December 1779, on the 21st of February 1803 at St Bartholomew’s Church, Longbenton. I believe there is a significance that nine month later on the 25th October 1803 George was born. (He was baptised 29th January 1804.)
When Matthew died 14th August 1811 he was said to be a Pitman of Benton Colliery. Isabel Ann was christened on the day Matthew was buried.
I am down from George and can take you two further generations back.
Cousin Ian
