My connection is through Dorothy who would have been my 3rd cousin 3times removed.

Hi Lynn,
Mary Ann Storey was my GG Grandmother, I am descended from her daughter Margaret Hewison and her husband Joseph Clarke.
It would be great to swap info.

I am researching the Heron family from Whickham. In particular I am trying to establish the details of the death of Joseph Heron, who Married Dorothy (Emmett) born 28/11/1865. She is buried in the St Mary's churchyard. His year of birth was 1863, Joseph was previously married - but I have not yet been able to establish to whom. With Dorothy he had 8 children (Joseph, Christopher, Emily (my grandmother), Elizabeth, Margaret, William and Thomas. Thomas Heron is well known in Whickham as for many years he was the verger of St Mary's and the local scoutmaster. There is even a street in Whickham named after him. We believe they lived at 4 James Street, Whickam. Can anyone help? Many thanks.

My mother's father was Joseph Heron, Emily's brother. He lived in Whickham all his life and died in the 1970s. His first wife died before the war and he remarried. My mother and her sister went to live with their aunt in Newcastle. I remember meeting Dorothy (Dora) when I was very young in the 1950s. She had a tight control on her sons, especially Tommy.. If you have not already looked the following site has a lot of useful information www.emmettweb.co.uk
It would be nice to know how far back you ahve traced the family. I have traced the Herons to Henry Heron (b1789) Wylam. Best regards

 Any relation?
 The above was obtained some years ago,from a magic hand written book, with index,of Christenings etc., of St. Mary's Church, Whickham, in the Local history section of Newcastle City Library.
