Devon / Lydia Yates Coombe born about 1823 Tavistock
« on: Saturday 26 October 19 00:43 BST (UK) »
Good evening to all. This is my first venture to Devon and hoping for some help in tracing my ggg grandparents, Thomas Scoble and Lydia Coombe. I have all of their census details and burials and am now searching for their baptisms.
From their marriage certificate Lydias father was Thomas Coombe, a labourer and from the 1851 census and 1871 census her mother was Sarah also born in Tavistock.
I can find, on IGI various children baptised in Tavistock to a Thomas Coombe and Sarah but no sign of Lydia?

Ok, back to Familysearch which has the marriage of Robert Dawson and Jane Proud 29th February 1792 (leap year? less anniversaries to remember 
)Kendal so it looks as though your people are Westmoreland natives working their way eastwards.

Freereg has Josephs baptism at St Johns Newcastle, born 1800,baptised 1804, 4th son of Robert Dawson a cordwainer and Jane Proud native of Kendal Westmoreland daughter of William Proud.
Familysearch has a Jane Proud baptised at Kendal 1770 daughter of William Proud and Margaret.
The 1851 census has a Robert Dawson,shoemaker born Hexham aged 56 living with his wife Mally in Oldham and i can see on Familysearch a Robert Dawson baptised Hexham (no parish) 1794 father Robert Dawson.
As Pauline has stated, what, apart from the name Robert Dawson connects the two?

Northumberland / Re: Trying to find Charles EMERY
« on: Sunday 07 October 18 20:41 BST (UK) »
Hi Fred, i have Charles in my family tree but only as a relation of a relation (My ggg grandfathers brothers father in law ) so i haven;t really put much research into him, however Jen is correct in that the Amery/Emery spelling was previously recorded as "Ambry" in the Felton register.
Charles and Marys first son was baptised in Felton church as Robert Gledson Ambry in 1812 and Charles is described as "native of Felton" and Mary "native of Framlington"
Hope this helps you along,Pete.

Essex / Thorndon Hall records
« on: Thursday 01 February 18 23:09 GMT (UK) »
Hi all, this is my first trip to Essex I'm hoping to get some advice on researching the most interesting person in my tree.
His name was John Blake and he was appointed Governer of Northumberland County Gaol in 1787,having previously seemingly never existed.
All of my searching came to nought until i found a reference to him in a book entitled,Pedigrees of Northumberland which stated that he had been in service to Lady Petre at Thorndon in Essex.
Now, Lady Petre at the time was Anne Howard, wife of the 9th Baron and she died January 1787 so i assume John had left/was dismissed from service.
I'm intrigued to discover just what kind of service qualified him to such take a highly responsible job and would welcome any advice on further reading,location of documents or just general thoughts.
Thanks for reading,Pete

Hi Belfordian, I can't help out regarding how the name came about but, while looking up some Ford burials recently, one from 1763 had his abode listed as "The Rhodes"
Interested to see what may be found out though
