Yes it's tempting to be pulled along by the trees of others but I ignore the best I can. Thank you Trish ,the Hannah Wearmouth line all figures, your information is the same as mine but I've become super confused now with her husband John Todd. I have their marriage as 21-11-1801 at St Michaels All Angels Bishopwearmouth and Hannahs father Joesph as witness but Johns birth, death and parents have me baffled. Hannah died in 1847 and it's seems her husband John went to live with their daughter Margaret (married name Tindle) as he can be seen on the 1851 census at 37 Burleigh Street Sunderland so we know he is alive in 1851 (census says he is 78 and born in 1773 but dates can be inaccurate)So John is still my stumbling block.Trish, you mention GRO, what is that please?

Hi Neil,
I'm not 100% sure of any connections but I am almost  sure that John Todd born Billingham 1780 is the GGG Grandfather of my husband Geoffrey Mark Todd (20.10.59) The Male TODD line goes like this (Father to father)
Geoffrey Mark Todd son of Malcolm Todd son of Robert Septimus Todd son of Thomas Todd son of William Todd son of John Todd. The link is almost certainly Sunderland.I am almost 99 percent sure that John Todd a baker by trade fathered at least ten children,the youngest of whom was William born 1824.(master mariner) But when it comes to the father of John Todd things get very vague and the only possibility I can find is a William Todd born in Sunderland in 1762 married to Mary?  I also found a mariners record for a William Todd born 1762,Scotland who seems to be connected to a ship called the Alemene around 1795. Is this the same William and is he the father of John Todd?I agree there are Todds everywhere (sly ole Foxes heh!)

John Todd was born in Billington in 1780, he married Hannah Wearmouth in Bishopwearmouth in 1801. John was a baker with ten children living in HAT CASE Sunderland. he died in 1864. I'm trying to find any information on John and his parents and grandparents. What was life like as a baker during this period. Was William Todd`born 1762 Johns Father and did he sail on a ship called the Alemene. I'm really stuck, can anyone assist please?
