The baptism of William Shoolbread Beveridge on 10th February 1840 at St Andrews Newcastle on Tyne shows the parents as John Beveridge a school master living in Newgate Street Newcastle and his wife Mary.

As suggested JonWarnn I lashed out on a digital copy of the child's death certificate which reads

Date of death 23rd November 1840 Clayton Street
Name William Shoolbread
Sex Male
Age 2 years
Rank or Profession Son of James Shoolbread Iron Founder
Cause of Death Croup
Informant Jas Shoolbread Occupier Clayton Street

How odd!!!

Oh, thankyou all so much. You are a clever lot.

Just like my Christmas lights that I got from the loft earlier, this is a tangled knot which I will leave until the morning to sort out.

My initial reaction is that there were 2 Beveridge families having children baptised in Morpeth.

thankyou, Peewee

Can anyone help me to find in the 1851 Census a John Beveridge and his ancestry

In the 1841 Census, in Newgate Street, St Andrews parish, Newcastle upon Tyne, lived a John Beveridge aged 48, possibly a “School M”, Mary Beveridge aged 48, George Beveridge aged 15 and Mary aged 8. All born in Northumberland. I believe John’s wife was formerly Mary Bell although I have yet to find their marriage, as the baptism of their son George on 30th April 1826 at St Andrews, Brunswick Place, Newcastle shows his name to be George Bell Beveridge. On George’s baptism record, John’s occupation is shown as a mason and not “school master”.

John appears to have died in Newcastle in 1857 therefore he should appear in the 1851 census but I cannot find him. Can anyone succeed where I have failed?

Using his and variations of his surname I searched for a birth / baptism of John Beveridge who was born in Northumberland around 1793. I could find only one, who was born in Morpeth, Northumberland on 6th February 1791 and baptised in Morpeth on 16th March 1792 to James and Margaret Beveridge. However, according to the Parish records, a John Beveridge, the son of a James Beveridge, was buried in Morpeth on 6th July 1795. A baptism of another son of James and Margaret named Edward in Morpeth on 14th July 1799 states that James is a native of Felton and a mason whilst Margaret’s maiden name was  Wyatt, that she was a native of Shilbottle and that Edward was their 7th son.

Can anyone locate the John Beveridge (detailed in the 1841 census) in the 1851 census as this may give his place of birth. A second opinion on the conundrum of whether the Morpeth John Beveridge who died in 1795 is the same person as the one born in 1791 and if not, who is the one appearing in the 1841 census would be appreciated.

Amplney may not exist but Ampney does and lies some 14 miles south east of Coberley.
In 1807, the 1st Battalion Royal Welch were at the Battle of Copenhagen

The saga continues. Noticed that the number of files and folders on the old laptop did not reconcile to what was loaded onto the new one. So, deleted what we initially loaded onto new computer and reloaded. Success, the 2 figures reconciled.

But still cannot get the FTM on the new computer to run.

When we copied FTM 2014 from the memory stick to the new laptop the multitude of files loaded onto  "Local disc C - Programme Files (x86) - Windows multi media platform"

The multi media was the option it gave to open FTM 2014. But it also gave the options of Windows explorer or "search the microsoft store" or "choose another app"

We don't get the option to change to administrator and we cannot run the programme.

Any ideas my fellow rootschatters?
