Hi David

Just a little more for you.

Jane Jackson was baptised at St Mary's Church, Whorlton, Durham on the 2nd of December 1770. She was the daughter of George and Jane Jackson . Here is a source for you:

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mcneillyandco/eleanorgrace%20Glendenning.htm

A you know from all the various posts below John and Jane Glendenning had the following children
 
 George - born 1791
 Jane - born 1794
 James - born 1796
 John - born 1798
 Robert - born 1801
 Eleanor Grace - born 1803.

Jane died in 1807 aged 37 or 38. Buried in St Cuthbert's, Darlington, County Durham on 29 June 1807

John, having married for a second time to Hannah Maugham, on 15 Oct 1811 at Darlington St. Cuthbert, died in 1829. Buried St Cuthbert's Church, Darlington on the 8th May 1829.

While their name was spelt Glendenning back then by the time James (b1796) moves south to live in London he takes the spelling as Glendening with just one "n".

You state "John Glendenning (b. ca. 1769; d. 1829" and have in the past referred to a possible link to Kirkby Stephen (which is a village half way between Carlisle and Barton St Mary) . What information source do you have for the birthdate and is the "ca" meaning just "circa" or is it Carlisle, Cumberland, where he probably lived at one time.

As I have said before this John is shown on one baptism or wedding register of one of his children as coming from Carlisle. The accurate detail of his birthdate and possible link to Carlisle is something I would love to find, to validate birth or baptism, as well as to find the names of his parents.

Does anyone reading this have any ideas on where the data on John Glendenning (d 1829) might be found? Someone suggested St Cuthbert's in Carlisle. How do I get details from them living, as I do, so far away. Does anyone have a link to that church's archivist or any other church archivists in the Carlisle area?

Best wishes

David
 

Are you Nicholas John Glendening aged about 45, father David, Mother Sheila, brothers Michael and Jonathan etc?

We have traced him up to Barton St Mary as he had three sons, one of whom is my artist. Through the birth details of the three sons we have the parents details including James and Sarah being married in St Georges, Hanover Square, London on 15th March 1825. Their various certificates do, so I believe (although I have not seen them myself) confirm that.

You are a star - That is really great stuff.

You have the family moving to Darlington which must be the place from which James set out on his adventure; all the way to London.

Is there any sign in anything you have to suggest the occupation of either John or Jane? Where is that showing?
