Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Turnbull family Corsenside parish
« on: Monday 13 October 25 12:41 BST (UK)  »
I've come across a child born to Cuthbert Turnbull and Esther Forster prior to their marriage. From FreeReg I found a Bishops Transcript for Corsenside showing a Bastard son Joseph privately baptised 23 Jan 1750 and received into the church 05 Jan 1763.

Hello Marama,

I know that William's siblings, Samuel and James remained in Rothbury - the others i have yet to research.  I had no idea two brothers went to Canada!  I will get onto that right away...    Two different branches of my family originate from Rothbury, it is indeed a lovely area.  I am sending you a private message containing my email address, which should come through to your email.

Hi Marama and VictoriaDonkin,
I was delighted to come across your posts (old and newer) about Donkins in Australia, while researching my Donkin ancestors from Rothbury.   William Donkin who emigrated in 1837 was the brother of my 2x G grandfather James Donkin.  I've just started looking at William Donkin's descendants, but I do have a fair amount of material about the Rothbury families.  Were you aware that William's niece Rosina Wardle (nee Donkin) also emigrated to Australia in the 1880s?

Kind regards
Christine

I have the 1850 marriage certificate, confirming James Turnbull is father of Robert S Turnbull.  I've looked again at previous posts about difficulty finding Robert's baptism, most likely Bishops Transcripts for Rothbury lost for c.1828.
I found baptism of Robert's sister Isabella, and that's raised a new puzzle - i will start a new thread about that.

Many Thanks both for your help.  Yes I agree obtaining the marriage cert is the way forward with this.  I will also check the Bishops Transcripts as you mention, plus wills -which I haven't used before.

I'm researching ancestors of my GG grandfather Robert Smart Turnbull b. Alnham 1828.  I've seen some helpful posts from 2013 that confirmed my own findings about his siblings.  I'm looking for verification of RST's father James Turnbull b.1781 Ovingham (?), RST's uncle John Turnbull b.1787(?) and their parents (possibly James and Ann but no firm leads).  Thanks to anyone who can help or is researching this family. :)
