Hello Les
Great to hear from you.iI was good to have the Straughan/Straffon connection confirmed.
My connection with the Straughan family is through my great-grandmother,Sarah Straughan. Her grandson(John Brampton) who is still alive says the name was pronounced Strawn.She was definitely from South Shields as were all her immediate ancestors as far as I know.
I have traced the above as far back as 1786 when Morton Straffon married Ann Hogg.
Their son Morton Straffon was born in1796 and he married Mary Robinson ,born c.1800.
John Robinson Straffon/Straughan was born in 1828 and he married Jessie Bridges, born 1833.
Their daughter Sarah was born in1855 and it was she who married my great-grandfather,William Henry Brampton in 1876
I hope this fits in with your research and I would be very pleased to receive any further information about this branch of the family.
Best wishes
Jane Sarah
