I want to thank everyone who has given input into my subject,  I shall keep all the information
You have given especially regards the Coulthard family.
Shafto Coulthard has been in my family trees for many years he has always been on vital documents in three of my family trees, Blenkinsopp,  Blenkinsopp Leaton and Leaton.
So I will defiantly be following up on his side of the family.
I always thought he was a solicitor, but now think he was just a very nice and clever guy and well thought of in his role within the city of Newcastle.

Thank you regards Jenny

The link to the wills won’t produce anything. Just comes up blank.

I am trying to find more information about a female called Elisabeth Coulter born approx 1717-1725 parents unknown. Possibly Newcastle upon Tyne area, or nearby.
She apparently married and was widowed. “Spouse unknown”

Her second marriage was to my relative (George Blenkinsopp baptised 1674
All saints church, Newcastle upon Tyne).
In 1744 he was about 70 years when they married in Newcastle and she was in her early-mid 30s.

They had 5 children including my direct relative Elizabeth Blenkinsopp, later married as Leaton at Whickham.
George Blenkinsopp Died 1768 and his daughter Elizabeth Blenkinsopp Leaton was his only heir, inheriting his estate and titles.
Her mother Elisabeth Coulter died in 1805.
 I am keen to find out who were the family of Elisabeth Coulter.
A note in my records say that a Shafto Coulter was a cousin of “Elizabeth Blenkinsopp”
“I believe he was a person who worked either for the local government or was a solicitor.”

Any help as to “Elisabeth Coulters family and of previous marriage would we appreciated.

Dear hepburn
Thank you for your reply.
Yes that was the information I found.
These Blenkinsopps are a lovely clan, I love them dearly, but a nightmare to Research, too many in a confined area of the north of the uk.

I have got back to my 5 times great grandmother Elizabeth Blenkinsopp who married my 5 times great grandad Anthony Leaton and made a new clan of Blenkinsopp-Leaton, (my mother’s name.)
Am now trying to connect into the Blenkinsopp main clan.

Thank you again regards Jenny

I have the following information, on the Blenkinsopp family,
But the wife in the information doesn’t seem to concur. Eva De Boultby shows as being married 3 times but not to Randulph Blenkinsopp.

“Randolph De Blenkinsopp 2nd was born 1200s
During the reign of king Henry 2nd.
He married “Eva De Boltby” the daughter of Nicholas de Bolteby.
They had a son Thomas De Blenkinsopp in1230s.
A parcel of land was awarded to the Blenkinsopp clan leader Ranulph de Blenkinsopp 2nd by Nicholas de Bolteby (father of Eva) in 1240.
On behalf of King Henry 3rd. as a reward for his military commitment, loyalty and devotion to the English crown and country”

Any one hot any ideas to help me please.?
