Sarah Weatherburn Hedley was my husband's gg grandmother. We have a copy of her marriage certificate to one Thomas Stephens, mariner, in 1850. They were married at St. Hilda's in South Shields. Her father, Thomas Hedley, is noted as a grocer but, it seems, was deceased by this date. We were very interested to read the information about her family. We, also, have no idea where the Weatherburn comes from but we do have a chest, possibly seagoing, with the initials SWS in nails on the lid. Janis mentioned seeing the entry for her birth/baptism at Newburn. We would be so grateful if someone has time to let us have the details of that entry and those of any siblings baptised at Newburn.
