Hello! I have some additional information on the Kirton family if you are interested. In addition, I also have information on Isabella's sister, Sarah Kirton, Sincerely, patrexjax

I'd love to get more information.  My sister and I have been stumbling along on this particular line.

You guys are awesome!!!

Yes, he was born before the marriage.  I've wondered if he is actually Joseph's son, despite the common given name.

Hi RC!

I am searching for information pertaining to Joseph Lonsdale.  He married an Isabella Kirton on 8 Dec 1832 in Newcastle Upon Tyne.  I have found four children for them.  Isabella appears alone with the kids in 1851.

His son William moved to Canada and changed his last name to Robson.  No apparent reason.

Thank you in advance!

No offence meant but up here we sometimes refer to "Geordies" as half baked Scotsman ;D ;D.
It's meant as a term of endearment.

Geordies like Scots are born north of Watford  :o :o

Dorrie

lol, I've wondered if he claimed Scot as a preference. 

Where does the term Geordies come from?  I've seen it before but don't know the meaning.

Can anyone please tell me if Newcastle-upon-Tyne was ever a Scottish city. I have helped my friend with her family history and have checked that the city was never in Scottish hands.

I found your query interesting.  I have a relative that claimed he was Scottish on all the census but all of his records; marriage, baptisms, and census were all from Newcastle upon Tyne, All Saints Parish.  I've been trying to find anything that would indicate why he claimed Scotland. So far no luck and no hint of him ever having been to Scotland.
