Urwin

[Lady Di]

Trish - that baptism for Christopher Urwin looks like the one I had searched high and low for. I had a theory that Thomas Urwin and Jane Mitcalfe may have been the parents but couldn't find the baptism or birth record.

Where did you find it? I'm sure that I checked the IGI 

I also have Thomas Urwin's parents as Christopher Urwin and Jane Hewson (married 10.05.1772 Tynemouth).

And this Christopher's parents as Thomas Urwin & Eleanor Harbottle (married 05.05.1743).

I have no idea how accurate these questimates/theories are but it may be a line of inquiry for Alan to check.

I still think it is worth researching the older couple further to eliminate them totally.

Cheers

ooops sorry Ashley.

Hi Di,
I am glad that I found the baptism you were looking for
It was in England and Wales Christening Records 1538-1837. Pretty sure there are some other Urwins also.

Hi Ashley,
I will look at the older couple tomorrow and see what I can find.

Hi Alan,
It is really great to be appreciated I am sure Di, Ashley and I love researching for the fun of the chase but some people do not seem to realise how much time we put into it!

All the best,
Trish

It's an easy mistake!

And yes Trish - it IS fun!

There's one thing i under stand on the marriage certificate of Thomas Hudson & Mary Urwin 1848 her father is down as Christopher Hall why wood that be.

Oops - that does throw a spanner in the works Alan.

My apologies for not reading your original question correctly 

Any chance that the marriage certificate states that Mary Urwin was a widow with a previous name of Hall? Guess it wont be that easy!!

Next option is that Mary Urwin was the daughter Mr and Mrs Urwin, her father died and mother remarried a Christopher Hall.

The Christopher and Mary Urwin that Trish found in 1841 certainly fit the bill - except their name is Urwin, not HILL 

Are there any other items of info on the marriage cert that may help? - even things that you are unable to read may be useful.

By the way, what were the names of Mary and Thomas Hudson's children?


Di
PS - Maybe the marriage cert is wrong and the Hall was meant to be Urwin but someone was just having a bad day when they wrote it    (getting desperate, aren't I    )


Trish - thanks for reminding me about the England and Wales Christening records. I keep forgetting to check those

The other option is that she was illegitimate, and that while she had the name Urwin from her mother, she knew that her father was Christopher Hall.  If she was a widow that would also work.

I had one recently in Wigan where I could not find the father of the bride, only her mother who claimed to be a widow, and when I got it Rosetta Hart had marked her father as Thomas Rawlinson, Weaver, so she was clearly illegitimate but knew her father (who was already married!)
