I have been tracing my family history in Yorkshire and found that the Waldie family exist in Sculcoates. My oldest relative is a George Waldie 1779 born in Scotland had a son called Archibald Waldie 1821 from South Dalton, Yorkshire was married twice once to a Mary Ann Lusby and another wife called Martha Stark 1826 born in Hull. Archibald had a daugther called Margaret Jessie Waldie who was my Grandad's Mother. Margaret Jessie Waldie married a George Stephenson (Tinson is a name that comes up he was born Stephenson but step father was a William Tinson. George Stephenson was the son of Jane Stephenson 1825 from Etton married a William Tinson 1826 Yorkshire died apr-may-june 1891.
We are totally confused why George was a Stephenson on his birth certicate but on other documents comes up as Tinson. The Tinson family owned a building company in York which my Grandad Jesse and his brother Ernest set up. Does anyone have any details of why this happened!! Adopted born out of wedlock I assume??
