COMPLETED - Hartburn - Potter family

[janwhin]

Dave,
I have had a look on my Rothbury CD and Sarah, George and Edward are all children of Thomas Potter of Snitter.
Christine, Longframlington is the only under represented parish on IGI, that I'm aware of in that area, apart from Longhorsley which is in the Beta site BTs.
Dave, Eleanor Hounam's ancestry is:
Parents Joseph Hownam and Eleanor Graham. They married in Whittingham, 1 May 1752. Their children were all baptised at Edlingham. Joseph was baptised at Whittingham on 9 March 1718, son of Richard.  Richard married Mary Reed of Titlington on 23 January 1717 at Eglingham.
Eglingham, Edlingham and Whittingham parishes have common borders.
Eleanor, wife of Joseph, was buried on 12 April 1795 in Edlingham. She was a widow but I've still to find Joseph's burial.
Rothbury/Whittingham was a bit of a Hounam cave but unfortunately the Whittingham registers go flaky before the early 1700s so that's as far back as I can get. I have siblings and stuff if you want more.

Another Thomas Potter on the go in Edlingham at around the same time.

Two baptisms at the Sion Meeting House and Bondgate Congregation in Alnwick :

John the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Potter, Stuart and Woodkeeper at the Overthoughts (?) in the township of Lemmington, parish of Long Edlingham, born 12 July 1804 and baptized the same month.

William, the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Potter, Stuart and Woodkeeper, Lemmington in the parish of Long Edlingham, was born August 26th 1806 and baptized September the same year.

Key facts are that children of Thomas and Alice after their death live with an unmarried Aunt Alice birth year 1804 and her illegitimate daughter Eleanor. Alice daughter of George and Eleanor is the only one I can find that matches. Also Thomas was witness at 'brother' Josephs marriage in Edlingham.

p.s. just to correct my earlier reference to google archive - If you view the PDF  online it is searchable, if you download the pdf files they are not searchable. But if you download the DJVU file and get yourself a DJVU File Viewer they are searchable, at a click of a button I can find every reference to Potter in a complete register. Finally one register does not show as an obvious entry which may be of interest which is the  'Bothal with Hebburn', just search on 'Bothal, the book that comes up is correct but shows the wrong description. This register confirmed that the Thomas Potter born in Hebburn/Hebron in 1786 to Father George is not the one I need as this one dies in 1808.

Hi Dave,

I haven't had a good day for finding things today.

No Thomas that I could see in Hartburn between 1787 and 1790 and none in Longframlington from 1790 - 1797.

Where else could he be

Janwhin- Are you a Whinham?

I am new to genology and I am researching the Whinham family tree. My father and another Whinham from Hull did some research in the 80's and I have all their research into the Whinham. It may be of some use?

Hi Chris, indeed I am! A.N. Other from Hull did a lot of travelling round the north east getting information on Whinhams. He was in touch with my dad. He produced a lot of family trees for the various branches, some good, some bad! I too eventually started doing loads of research on the Whinhams and have several private trees on Ancestry for the various branches, trying to get back to a relatively common root.....frustrating, the records run out before there's any merge! I managed to get the Hull group back to Rothbury via Alnwick. Even more frustrating, DNA gave me a relationship to the Hull branch but I run out of Rothbury registers before I can make a link.....its there somewhere.
Look forward to hearing from you, Janet

I dont know if when searching the Potters you have come across a James Potter  I,ve been trying to find him for a while  he was living Bamburgh parish (a sailor) when his daughter eleanor Isabella was born 1830  James wife was Anne  I think she may have been Anne Burn     the daughter Eleanor Isabella
was living at Fenton Hill  1841 census  with James Burn a blind fiddler and his wife Isabell Copeland
and I can,t find any trace of Eleanor,s parents since her birth No census death records or anything else
