John Mirton/Murton of Elsdon?

[nataz]

Does anyone know of a John Mirton/Murton/Morton who married an Isabel Burn in Elsdon in 1779?

Im trying to establish whether this is the marriage of a John and Isabel who went on to have several children around the villages of Morpeth, Hebron and Bedlington.

Does anyone have access to parish records of the late 1700s in these areas?

You'll find bishop's transcripts for Hebron (listed as Hebburn) and Morpeth on the family search labs site

If you let me know exactly what you want me to look for in Bedlington or Elsdon I'll be happy to check for you but I'd need to know by tomorrow night as I go to the archives on Wednesday

Hi

If you could look for the Baptism records for John Murton/variants born approx 1791-4 in Sheepwash, Bedlington and see who his parents were, if thats possible. Or anything else you can find on him and his parents, brothers and sisters it would be a big help.

The IGI has a baptism of John Murton in Bedlington 27 Apr 1794 s/o John and Isabel Murton as well as other children.

Sorry but the web site is down for maintenance but they are there on the Hugh Wallis website

It's good to know he's there, Janis.  I'll check him out tomorrow - sometimes there's some additional stuff  sometimes not

April 27 1794  Andrew and John twin sons of John Murton and Isabel his wife of Sheepwash

May 10 1795  Elizabeth daughter of John Murton and Isabella his wife of Choppington

I checked from 1790 to 1800 on baptisms and marriages up to 1794 but couldn't see any other Murton.

Thinking about it though - if the couple in Elsdon really married in 1779 they'd be getting on a bit by the time these children were born so they could be the youngest in the family.

I notice that you have a similar post in Look-up Requests.  To save us duplicating the research could you please link the two threads?

Thank you for taking the time to find the info. 

I think they might possibly have had a daugther called Mary born around 1780 in Morpeth and another daughter Ann born 1782, this time in Bedlington so it would be interesting to know if thats correct and if any other children were born around that time.

Im guessing the pasigh records dont record anything about the parents except names.

Oh and sorry not sure how to link the two posts!

Ive found another possible birth - an Isabel Murton born on 6 6 1798 in Hebron. Father John Murton and Mother Isabel Scott. Is there anyway you can check to see if this is the same family as the Andrew, John and Elizabeth. Also is there any chance you could find a marriage for this couple. Family Search drew a blank.
Thank you so much for all your help.

Hi Nataz

Linking the two posts - you need to post a message on one of them referring any would-be posters to the other.  Post the link by copying the internet address and then mark it complete.

If you right click on the internet address above (www.rootschat etc) and select copy it can then be pasted into the message.

Hope this is clear - I'm not too good at explaining
