Brian, I have just realised that you are Shanna and we were in touch a few years back. when I last heard from you, you were waiting on your sister's opinion whether your Martha was the young woman in the photo I sent.

I am convinced she is, but what do you think/

Best wishes, Mary

Thanks very much.

 The place was Relley mill near Neville's Cross.

I had been given 1823 for Margaret's death but 1825 fits better with the birth of a Margaret Miller born 1785 in the Bishops Transcripts for Ryton Holy Cross.

from a very grateful, Mary

Shanna, I have just come across this post again. I am the Polycarp who was involved in this discussion but I can't remember ever using that name. I am usually Roundabout and recently involved in a discussion about Lucy Wilson, Rose Cottage, Sandhoe, which you might like to look at.

Are you related to Martha WILSON born 1832 in Sandhoe? if so, I would like to get in touch with you.

Mary

I think I have the MI of John ORD d.1822 and Margaret ORD d.1823 buried at Brancepeth but I'd like to check that they are accurate. I can't find a will for either of them but an old fanily tree indicates that their eight children were Wards of Chancery.  Could I have the names of any other ORDs buried at Brancepeth, please?

Hello John, Yes, I am researching the Wilson families from Rose Cottage Sandhoe, but have slightly different information from what you listed here.  The James WILSON, son of Joseph W and Jane SCOTT, according to my research, married Martha GOODMAN in Hampshire in 1815 but lived in Sandhoe. James died in 1839 and later Martha married James SCOTT. Martha and James WILSON had several children including the Robert you mentioned, William, my g-g-grandfather, Jane, Martha, and two Sarahs.  William married Dorothy GALLEY in Hartlepool in 1845, had Emma, James, Jane, John Thomas (Tom) and Martha Frances (Fanny) in 1853 in Newcastle when and where Dorothy died.  He later married a Mary from Lancashire but I can't find their marriage. They had two more children. They were William (I can't find) and  Maud Mary who came to Australia with her step sister Emma in 1889 and I haven't heard of since.
My g-grandfather James WILSON married Mary ORD in Durham in 1871, had six children, migrated to Queensland, Australia where they had seven more.  Numerous letters and photos and some certificates they brought with them have survived and have been a great source of information. Even a photo inscribed in such a way, that it could be Christina or Lucy!  Maybe you will know. My great-aunt Janey was a Sister of Mercy in Newcastle and wrote great letters. In one written during WWI she mentioned that Lucy was still at Rose Cottage . This piece of info led me to Sandhoe and the rest of the family. It also uncovered the link to the Ullathornes and St Thomas More.   My grandmother had 11 children and 40 grandchildren, so we are thick on the ground out here but I have had very little contact with the WILSONs in the UK. My grandfather's brother Tom married but all we have is a P/C from Greece early last century. Only James and Tom married so there were few cousins to carry on the family name, so I have to go back a generation or so to find family connections. I have photos of Rose Cottage and the WILSON tombstone at St John Lee.  Best wishes, Mary

Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Wilkinson's of Heighington

I am interested in Thomas WILKINSON b Neasa(h)m Durham c 1820. From 1841 to 1891 he was  either living in or nextdoor to the household of Thomas COOPER b 1797 Hesleton, widower, cordwainer/ shoemaker of Sherburn, Durham. After 1841 Thomas WiLKINSON was a shoemaker and later an overseer for Thomas COOPER. He did not marry. I haven't found his parents or a baptism for him but in the 1891 Census his unmarried sister Margaret b c 1837 in Sherburn is in the same household.
Because Thomas WILKINSON was a shoemaker and was born only 9 miles from Heighington, there is a slight chance that he could be related to your family. If you ever come across a connection, would you mind letting me know.
In 1841, Thomas WILKINSON was one of three young men/servants living with the COOPER family, but they were probably apprentice shoemakers. The other two married COOPER daughters.
By chance, through my connection by marriage to the COOPER family, I have inherited a prayer book belonging to Thomas WILKINSON. A family tree probably begun by Thomas COOPER was included in the book.  So far, I haven't found a connection between Thomas WILKINSON and the COOPERS.
