I notice there is also another Jon baptised 1723 father Thomas. Just wondered if the Jon could be Jonathan.

I noticed there is a baptism for Jon (father John) in 1720 shown on Durham Records online and wondered if this could be him.

Durham / Jonathan Emerson
« on: Thursday 13 November 25 10:03 GMT (UK) »
Looking for any information on the birth of baptism of Jonathan Emerson probably Stanhope or St John's Chapel. He was married on 1 October 1747 to Isabella Rowell at St Thomas Stanhope and died November 1776 at Wellhope, Stanhope, buried 14 November 1776 St John's. I have his marriage record and will but no record of his birth or parents.

United States of America / Emerson's from Weardale

Looking for marriage details for Esther Emerson who was born in Weardale UK in 1918 and died on 14 May 2003 in USA. Married name probably Rodgers. Also any marriage details for Esther's brother Joseph Emerson born 1920 in Weardale and also died 2003 in Maricopa, Arizona. Headstone would appear to indicate he was married

Thanks again Alan that's resolved the issue with the 1797 baptism.
Thanks Fiddlerslass I have had a quick look at the records from your link, unfortunately still no luck with Thomas's baptism or parents.

Thanks again Alan for all your information. I have John 1801, Jonathan 1799 and Thomas 1803 as children of Thomas Emerson and Jane Watson. I suspect Joseph 1797 may also be their son although I have the 1797 birth as Ralph. They must have all been baptised together. Not sure who the other Thomas is.Thomas and Jane also had children Mary 1805, George 1807, Ralph 1809, Job 1813, Hannah Isabella 1817. This is as far as I have managed to get as I am stuck with Thomas's birth. Someone has added a birth of 1767 for him on my tree on Family Search with parents Thomas Emerson and Ann Featherstone but I am not convinced. There is a database at the Weardale Museum that has Thomas's parents as Jonathan Emerson and Isobel Fletcher but again I am not convinced. I will be calling at Durham Records Office in the New Year so might get somewhere then. Any further help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the link. Wasn't sure if fathers name would be on. By chance would the age 21 be the exact age of Thomas or that he was over the age of 21. I am struggling to find the baptism record of Thomas as there are a few in Stanhope around the same time 1760/1770s

Looking for information from the marriage of Thomas Emerson and Jane Watson in Weardale (probably Stanhope) on 4 January 1797. In particular looking for confirmation of father's names.
