Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Todmorden - Horsfall - some questions
« on: Sunday 22 September 13 12:35 BST (UK) »
Hi, I've been looking for the Family of my Ancestor Abraham Horsfall; all I know so far is that he was Married to Sarah Joysey (Jowsey) on 9th Feb 1785 at Tynemouth. He and Sarah lived at Morpeth Northumberland and had the Following children:
Mary 1787
Charlotte 1789
Abraham 1791
Isaac 1793
Mordin 1797
Now "Mordin" is a really unusual name and I wonder if anyone else has come across it before?
Charlotte married William Towers of Neasham North Yorks, and the names "Abraham", "Isaac" and "Charlotte" were used again and again in the Families of their Descendants, but not in the Towers family Prior to Charlotte marrying William.
I suspect that Abraham Horsfall originally came from Yorkshire and must have been born around 1750-67. There are no Horsfall families in Morpeth before his arrival.
Can anyone please enlighten me?
