Hi just found your chat about Isabella Dickinson. I have an Isabella Dickinson marrying my 5x grt grandfather he had lost his previous wife although at what date I haven't found as yet. Isabella is in the 1841 census living in Chester Burns, Chester le Street. She is 80yrs old and a widow by this time she is living with Isabella and John Minto who are her step Grandchildren. John and the younger Isabella are cousins. I believe that Isabella died in June quarter of 1847 death registered in Chester le Street. I hope this helps although you probably have found this info by now.

Hi Louise
Don't have the bapt for Fanny although the info is on familysearch but I do have a Fanny Hauxwell 1787 in a list from the end of the parish register she is mentioned along with two other children Ann 1798 and Stephen 1807 so I presume there would have been baptisms and were entered late in register and I have overlooked them.

They would quite regularly name children after the parents and grandparents I think it went first son daughter named after paternal grandparents then next after maternal grandparents then father and mother, but this was not always the case but it can be a good indication if you are on the right track if the names follow on.

I have Joseph son of William and Margaret bapt 19 Oct 1783 also I do think he is the same one from the census it sometimes happens for one reason or other that a child was baptised later or he could be lying about his age on the census that happens also.

Don't have to much info on Christopher Hauxwell but his surname is now spelt Hawxwell he and Frances Smith had 9 children that I have found she was born abt 1709 and died Sept 1761 in Well.

I think it would be easier to send info by email and would be happy for you to send message that way. I could then give you list of children ect. Melanie

Hi Louise

Family search is great but as you probably know it sometimes gets it wrong (at least I hope it's wrong and not me) but the record I have is that Frances who was baptised 30 Aug 1772 is in deed the daughter of William and Margaret (not Mary). They also had another daughter Margaret bapt 17 Jan 1774. Fances died in infancy and is buried 18 Jan 1773 in Spennithorne.

If you agree with my findings that William is the son of Christopher I do have his (Christophers) marriage to Frances Smith and baptisms of their other children, William's siblings if you want that info.

Oh and I descend from the eldest son Christopher.

Can you also tell me how you know that your ancestor is Margaret daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Busby as I have also got no record of her the only record I have for a Margaret at that time is the Margaret bapt 31 Oct 1824 the daughter of Christopher and Elizabeth Marsden (Christopher being the eldest brother of Joseph and from my line). Thanks.

Hi Louise my records come directly from the registers but this must be at least 10years ago its been a while since I did anything on the Hauxwells.  I must admit that I cannot find in my records the William of Crakehall bapt at Bedale  its possible that early on i my research I may have disregarded him but I can't remember. Anyhow I think that William is the one from Well it's a bit unscientific but his mother would have been Frances whom Christopher married 30 Apr 1729 and if you have the record William' s first child and daughter was named Frances his second Margaret both I think named after his mother then wife. His first son was Christopher named after his father. This is the only reason that I can think of right now as to why I went with him. This research was done when I was new to Family History so could be wrong but in my gut I don't think so unless you have other info which shoots this down. Unfortunately I never carried on the research on Margaret Craggs so cannot help there but when I eventually get back to it I will look into it. Hope this helps and hope you agree with my rather unscientific approach but they did tend to name the kids after their parents and themselves quite regularly. Melanie

Hi I am new to Rootschat but found your thread on google so joined. I am also related to William and Margaret they are my 6x greatgrand parents and my surname is Hauxwell.  Have done a lot of research on this branch although it has been some time since I have been on it (researching other lines at moment) but I do have my own transcriptions of the parish records for Well, Bedale and Spennithorne in which I have taken down every Hauxwell I have found, some of my records go back to 1600's. Although I won't promise they are complete I may have missed one or to, you never know and have transcribed them as faithfully as possible, I am willing to pass on any info I may have so if you give me a list of names etc you need looking at I will check my records to see if I have them.
