Joseph Burnside, Cockerton

Hi ceeoh
I'am still trying to sort this Ambrose form the rest of them. It seems the Burnside clan roam freely, they should change their name to "have bags will travel".
Should I find out any more I will let you know.

Hi Gary,

The Romans also built a lot of roads and the Burnsides seemed to use them a lot 
Good luck with the transcribing, it's a mammoth undertaking.
If you, or anyone else, would like an outline descendant report on the way I see the families, could you PM your contact details.

Hi Colin

Thanks for that. I will take you up on whatever research you have up to now it will save going over the same ground. I am away for a week as from tomorrow. The transcribing the BT's is not as bad as it may sound I have a voice program, In other words I speak and the computer does the rest, it is really quite fast.
I will PM you when I get home.

Went into my local library to try the Ancestry Library Edition for the first time as I only have a basic membership and can't access the parish info etc (grrr!).  A search for Ambrose Burnside(s) brought up a baptism for Elizabeth Burnside in Easingwold, Yorks on 18/7/1785.  Her parents are given as Benjamin Burnside of Blackwell, potter, son of John Burnside of Auckland and Ann, daughter of Ambrose Burnside of Blackwell.  Every little helps??

Well done Ermy that's a great find. It sounds as though it is one of the 'Dade' entries where baptisms had so much more detail. It's also interesting to note that Benjamin and Ann had a daughter Elizabeth baptised at St Cuthbert's Darlington on 28 May 1784. I have checked their burial records but didn't find an entry for this earlier one.

Hi Ermy
Thanks for the info,as you say every little helps. I am still building a BURNSIDE/S/ profile.I have come across a few distinct family groups. This family seem to be so closely knit it is proving extremely difficult to sort the wheat from the chaff.

Hi All

Came across this entry in the BT's.
Parlington, Darlington St Cuthberts 1762-1820 image 479.
Baptism of Robert Burnside on the 28th May 1815 illegitimate son of Violetta Burnsides single woman, daughter of Joseph Burnsides Bottom House, labourer. Try as I might i can not find a birth for this Violetta.
Also there is this entry for baptism for a Francis in the same BT image 478 with parents as Edward & Sarah. Edwards occupation is given as a sailor??, thats a new one on me a Burnside other than a farmer/tinker/potter?.
Francis died in 1818, source NBI, which is what led me to search for his birth.
The plot thickens.

I don't like being beaten so I checked the BTs for Aycliffe and still found nothing for Joseph, but there was an interesting burial on 15 Feb 1824 for Elizabeth Burnside age 82 of Bottom House, Parish of Darlington. This is the neighbouring farm to Holly House where Joseph and Robert were from 1851.

Hi Gary,

Just a reminder of an earlier post. Have you checked Aycliffe for Violetta's baptism?
