Durham / Re: Seldom Seen, Newfield
« on: Monday 23 January 17 05:48 GMT (UK)  »
I don't know how but I missed all the replies until today! Little progress has been made since my last post except that through a DNA test it is confirmed along with the other evidence that this Thomas Todd from Cockfield who married Jane Bickerton is definitely the right person. I have been looking at the Bishops Transcripts but am unsure which to look at as Cockfield, Auckland and Whitworth all seem to have members of this Todd family. It would be lovely to have a less common name- although it could be Smith!!

Durham / Re: Seldom Seen, Newfield

I'm fascinated by the information on Newfield and particularly the information about the Todd family. My main Todd line has been very frustrating as it has been very difficult to get each generation back since my great grandfather Thomas Todd who was born in Seghill, Northumberland. Eventually, after 30 years (!!) I have my 3x grt grandfather, Thomas Hawdon Todd, being baptised at All Saints, Newcastle upon Tyne in 1796. More information is given in his younger brothers' baptisms where it states that he is the son of Thomas Todd, yeoman of Cockfield and Jane Bickerton, daughter of George Bickerton. Thomas Hawdon Todd died 9th December 1863 in Newfield, having previously lived in Longbenton, Northumberland(1841) and Coxhoe, County Durham (1851). It is proving very difficult to establish which Thomas Todd from Cockfield was his father. 
I wondered if anyone out there knows more about him?

Hi Chloe

I know that it is a long time since you posted on here but I'm answering in the faint hope that you get my post. I'm writing because as soon as I started reading the information, I realised that this is my family! Most of the information about the Seed family that was given is correct- I know this as your grandmother was my great aunt and your father and his brothers are my mother's cousins. I knew your grandmother well and have quite a lot of information about the family.

I hope this message gets through to you!!

If it doesn't does anyone know who I contact so that they could perhaps pass on my message to Chloe's email which I know stays hidden.
