Thanks for that Sleepykath. Will keep chewing it over.

Ps
I had a nose around St Cuthberts churchyard last summer and I have photos of the following graves if they are of any interest-
Robert Rickaby Whitfield died 1917
Ralph and Elizabeth Whitfield died 1869 and 1886 ( I think)
Agnes Spencer Spencer nee Whitfield died 1959. She married into the Spencer of ' Marks and Spencer' family.

Hi you two, Haven't had a chance to look at my tree properly yet but this looks really interesting.
Kirby Broughton is close to Great Ayton. About 10 mins drive from Marton.
I definitely have Thomas and Hannah in Marton. Also John Whitfield a tailor living on the Green in Marton too. John is Thomas' son. On family search the elusive Ralph who married Ann Redman in St Cuthberts church, Marton had their son the above John Whitfield there.  I wish I could get hold of that marriage cert....!

I did unearth a birth record on family search for a Thomas Whitfield bap 5/6/1803 in Stainton in Cleveland which is near Coulby Newham too
I'll try to keep digging 😊

Good morning Kathryn.
I've struggled with this part of the tree for ages but I have Thomas marrying Hannah and he is the 1803 Thomas. Hannah was born in Bishopton, Durham in 1804 and the couple went to live in Middlesbrough later and both died there.
Thomas grew up in Yarm which is not too far from Ayton.
I was born in the area
Could you let me have any details of the marriage including witnesses it sounds interesting. I could compare with my tree and let you know if I find anything. I'm intrigued as to why Hannah started off in Durham and ended up further south in Middlesbrough.
Happy new year
Andrea

Researching for quite a while- along with Afel, my sister who is further up on this thread. Try to come back to it all every now and again to unpick a little bit more but always end up with the same problem- Ralph Whitfield- no real birth record. Ho hum. Will keep trying! We are both from the area originally, which does help. keep in touch if you unearth anything and I will also keep you posted.
Best wishes.

Re Matthew Whitfield 1708 and Ralph Whitfield 1751.
I am a descendent of Thomas Whitfield 1803 and have been trying to get to grips with all the information regarding the family.
Has anyone established a connection between the northumberland branch and marton branch?
I have come to same conclusion as others posting and was wondering whether there was any new news, so to speak..
here's hoping- it's driving me mad....
