Glendening Northumberland

[thelindens]

Hi
my name is Nicholas Glendening and have also been building my tree. I'm very interested as my line goes through Thomas Montagu Glendening, brother of Alfred Glendening.

regards
nick

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

[thelindens]

yes i am

[David Coulthard]

I met your father a couple of years ago (who was very helpful and a great inspiration for me to pursue my own interest in the Glendenings) and I now have a pretty thorough tree of your Thomas Montague side and that of Alfred Augustus as well.

The lovely Julie who has also posted here is part of your branchline and has been a massive help.

My interest as the earlier posts show is the artist side of the family. Also as I am from the borders area I was particularly keen to try to get back into the 1700's to see if any family links existed. I have my own tree back to 1530 so far.

I am based in London and Suffolk these days and would be pleased to share some more of the detail with you although I am likely to be away quite a lot over the next month. Do call me on 07747 600 444.

Hi,
I am the 'lovely Julie' that David refers to - Thanks, David!
I am also very interested to share my Glendening research with you Nick (3rd cousin by my calculations) or any other Glendening researcher.  My tree for the Glendening is pretty big now, in fact if I get any more stuff I think I will have to set up a one-name-study.
Nick, we have been in communication before and I have sent you an email to you directly, if the email is still current.  My email is still (*).  I have loads I would like to share with you, for example photos of your great-great-grandmother Emma Sarah Glendening nee Lemmey, wife of Thomas Montague.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Julie

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

"ca" simply means "circa"

Carlisle is mentioned in the baptismal entry for Eleanor in 1803 at Saint Cuthbert's, as I recall. I also seem to recall that his burial entry at Saint Cuthbert's might have mentioned his being about 60 years of age. I'll have to find my file and materials to be certain. Otherwise, the parish registers of Saint Cuthbert's are available on microfilm.

Let me see what I can dig out.

Hi,
Just to say I am watching the conversation between the two David's with interest, as I would love to find out my 4xgreat grandfather John Glendenning's origins, Carlisle or otherwise.  In the summer I am going on holiday to Northumberland and my family may not want to spend the holidays in libraries and record offices, but I am sure we can take a few detours.
