Spooner marriage look up

[Ruskie]

Yes, please Les, do let me know what any certificates reveal.

Hi Les,

There are two sets of marriage indexes available, one for Northumberland 1813-1837 and the other for Durham 1813-1837, both compiled by George Bell.

I've discovered  that Ralph Spooner, coalminer, of New Thornley, son of Adam Spooner, coalminer, married Hannah Jane Wilson of New Thornley, daughter of William Wilson, coalminer, at St Helen's, Kelloe, on 19 Mar 1843. Like Ruskie, I can't find him in subsequent censuses.

Thank you Kath and Ruskie.

Kath, As I understand it (thanks to Ruskie on my Durham thread), Adam Spooner is a brother to the Ralph who married Mary Hunter in 1812. Both brothers had a son called Ralph. This marriage provides another piece in the Spooner jigsaw-thanks.

Thanks Kath, I'll be adding that marriage to my tree too.

Thanks for this thread.
I am also from this family. And have a few small details to add if there is anyone out there who needs more.

I have quite a bit of information on the Earsdon/Tynemouth SPOONER family.

My direct ancestor was George SPOONER (bpt 11-Aug-1804) at Earsdon, the son of Ralph SPOONER and Susanna LEIGHTON (married 14-Feb-1778 at Earsdon).

George SPOONER'S brother was Ralph SPOONER (bpt at Earsdon on 07-Nov-1790). This Ralph married Mary HUNTER at Tynemouth Christ Church on 11-Apr-1812 and had the following children baptised in Tynemouth Christ Church.

Mary  bpt 09-Dec-1812
George bpt 09-Nov-1817
Anthony bpt 19-May-1819

There were no further entries relating to this particular family in the Tynemouth parish registers and as they were not my direct ancestors I did not pursue the search for them.

Welcome to rootschat swanandpradad and Albert! 

Swanandprasad, could you tell us who you descend from? Any information you will be able to add to this thread I'm sure would be most welcome. On the Spooner line, I haven't got any further back than the Ralph who married Susanna Leighton in 1778. I don't suppose you have traced this Spooner line further? I do have a little more on the Leighton family but nothing on the Spooners.

Albert, I believe we are cousins so it would be nice to work out our relationship. Ralph Spooner and Susanna Leighton are my 5xgreat grandparents. I descend from Peter Spooner b 1797. Peter is brother to your George b 1804. Peter married twice firstly to Hannah Elliott and I descend from their son Ralph b 1825 who married Jane Bell.

Hi Ruskie

This thread has been quiet for some time. Is it possible since then you have turned up further information on the Leighton side of the family?

To date I'm aware that Susanna was born abt 1761 in Birtley Co Durham and was married 14 Feb 1778 in Earsdon by North Shields.

Cousin, Les

Hi,
I have  contacted Albert and Ruskie off-line to share files.

I am descended from Jane Ann Spooner who I am 95% sure sure is the daughter of Ralph and Mary Hunter (they had 10 kids).
She married Benjamin Lowery and had a 8 children one of whom was Dinah Lowrie.
Dinah Lowrie married James Summerson my great grandparents.

The 5% uncertainty was that she was given as Ann in the 1841 census.

But here is my logic
In the 1841 census Ralph Spooner and Mary were at HIGH DOWNS, Hetton Le Hole with
wife Mary, children Anthony, Adam, Peter, ANN and Susannah.
At her marriage in 1845 Jane Ann was resident at Hetton Le Hole, father Ralph Spooner (Pitman).
Jane Ann was born in in about 1824 at HIGH DOWNS, Hetton Le Hole to Ralph Spooner and Mary

There would have to have been another family with father Ralph Spooner and
wife Mary living at High Downs, Hetton le Hole at the same time period. It
seems unlikely that a new family arrived between 1941 and 1945 with the same
names and then left again before the 1851 census.
By this logic I am quite happy with Jane Ann in this family.
