Nice to see others with Westgarths  :) but so far I don't fit in anywhere  :-\

From various websites I have compiled a list of Westgarths from Stanhope but it is by no means complete. Some of the people I have managed to put into a semblance of order and relatedness, but with others I am not sure if they fit into one branch, or are separate. I can post it here if anyone is interested.

I have found some confusion around one particular marriage, which is what started the hunt: Thomas Westgarth supposedly born 1714 is listed by some people as marrying a Margaret Clemison and others have an Ann Nicholson, but I could find no listing in the Stanhope marriages for Margaret (although a Margaret Clemison married someone else in that list). If anyone has evidence, or could point me to a website which shows this as correct, I'd love to be able to figure it out for sure  :) I have put his wife as Ann at present because the marriage IS listed.

Hello.I posted all the gravestone inscription threads and reading the posts on this thread I think you may be asking about the Westgarth name.
The oldest gravestones for Westgarth are at Stanhope and they used to be on the Pennine Ancestors web site.
Although I did the Stanhope gravestones a long time ago I did not post them because like I said above they had been done by others.
The Pennine website has shut down and I will do look ups if a new thread is started.
Like all my other postings I will not enter any cross threading because I think it makes it difficult to search.
So if anyones needs to find the various threads use the search box at the top or just type M inscriptions followed by the place name in the "google box"

Cemeteries/Graveyards posted are :- Brancepeth, Howden le Wear, Hamsterley, Willington, Crook, Stanley Crook, Escomb, Thornley, Wolsingham, Hunwick, Witton le Wear, Satley,
Tow Law, Lanchester, Lynesackand and Muggleswick.

Pleas read the posts before posting a request. You never know you may find links that you did not know about.

Adam

Thank you Adam  :) I guess it will all become easier once I am more familiar with everything here.

Hello ecochicnz I belong to the Westgarth Stanhope line. I have a Great Aunt Ettie (Ester) Westgarth who married Frank Harry. He died in 1920 and she went out to N.Z. We lost all contact with her and know nothing of her live there. I was wondering if perhaps you were a relation or have come across her in your research. Most if not all the names you mention are in my family tree going back to 1624 Stanhope

Hi Katherine1
Nice to hear from you! Esther Westgarth is my '2nd cousin 3 x removed' :)
I had no idea she had moved to NZ, but I will chase that up now I know.
I would love to hear from you, so I'll pm my email addy to you and you can contact me directly if you like, and we can compare info. It took me ages to find this branch on the tree.
regards from NZ  :D

Hi Tyrrian and welcome.
I personally have quite a few names in the Westgarth line (including Joseph and wife Mary Blackett), and am happy to exchange more details. The Blacketts are an interesting line of people too.
I will private message you with my email addy and you can contact me directly if you wish.
