Twizells

Hi,
that's really interesting that you are confused by all the similar Twizell names too.
What a shame that the marriage doesn't fit in with Edward christened 1681.
However, James Twizall married Alice Nicholson in 1716 at Earsdon.

Hello all
This is my first post here and I have lit on the Twizell interest.  My gtx3 grandfather Robert Daglish was married to Margaret Twizell [spelling varies] at Earsdon on 21 April 1802.  From census returns, she was born c1779. He was born on 21 Dec 1777, both giving Earsdon or Hartley as birthplace.
I have been hunting Robert's parents or baptism for many years, and he had a brother John b. 1770 and sister Ann, b1774.  All came to the Wigan, Lancashire area before 1802 and the brothers were engineers etc - I have lots of info on their Lancs days.
Back to Margaret:  I believe she was a daughter of George Twizell who married Margaret Stuart in1775.  George probably son of James T & Alice Learmouth.

Any links or corrections would be most welcome.

Hi there.
Welcome to Rootschat.
It is a wonderful site with many many people who are only too happy to share their skills & knowledge, or to help you do detective work & try to solve as much of the Family Research as we can.

It could be that we are distantly related!
To save me typing it all out, I could send you a copy of my Twizell Family Tree as far as I have got it.
James Twizell & Alice Learmouth's eldest son was George, and I'm descended from his sister Alice.

Send me a PM - personal message with your email, & I'll send you what I know.

Thanks for that - what a quick response to a first cast of the line.  There may well be Twizell links from what you say.
I have not discovered where to find the PM bit - is there a minimum number of posts needed?  If so I'll think of something tomorrow.

Ainslie,
Hope you have received my Twizell Family Tree.
I am now looking for Twizells at Earsdon on the Durham Bishops Transcripts, so far without success, but there are a lot of pages, and as they are not indexed it takes some time.
I'll let you know as soon as I have any more info.
