Allendale marriage lookup 1806

[JayG]

The IGI has

Thomas Walton & Elizabeth Walton married 31/5/1806, Allendale.

Can anyone access the parish register & verify the marriage & full details.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jay,

Sorry this has taken so long to get a response.  I couldn't locate the marriage on the microfilm where it was supposed to be - the index said 1805 - 1812 but they actually started in 1807.

However I did find the banns - Thos Walton of the parish of Alston and Elizabeth Walton of this parish - banns called April 27, May 4 and May 11 1806.

The parish reference doesn't mean they were born there - just living there for the past 3 weeks.  There will be no parent detail on the marriage record but witnesses could have proved useful.

If they had any children between 1806 and 1813 then you are likely to get a lot more information from the baptismal records.

Hi Jay,

I remember from when I have had occasion to consult the Allendale films that they are particularly badly out of order in this period but the information is there on one film or the other _ I couldn't look it up though as they have temporarily closed the FHC that I use to use (moved it to Kew for the time being)

Thanks Christine for trying to find it.  I'm really hoping to find some useful witnesses so I can work out if I'm following the right Walton's since the name seems to be as bad as Smith in Allendale & Alston!

Thanks for the info David, that's useful to know if I get to check the marriage myself.

If Walton married Walton then maybe one of them will be right 

The 'missing' marriage should have been at the start of the reel.  I'll have a look at the previous one next Wednesday - just in case 1805 and 1806 are tagged onto the end of the previous set of marriages.

I don't have Allendale but I do have Alston Cumberland baptisms  perhaps these are yours:

Hugh Walton bapt 28 Feb 1807 1st son of Thomas Walton, High Nest, Miner, by his wife Elizabeth d/o William Walton

William Walton baptised 20 May 1809 2nd son of Thomas Walton, Bridge End, Miner, NOTP, by his wife Elizabeth d/o Wm Walton

Mary Walton baptised 12 Sept 1811 1st daur of Thomas Walton, Bridge End, Miner, NOTP, by his wife Elizabeth d/o Wm Walton

Hope this helps, yes Walton's in the area are a dime a dozen   (have no idea of an English expression)

Hi Janis!

The English expression is "six a penny", but I'm sure everyone understands " a dime a dozen"!

And Robsons are just as bad as Waltons!

Regards,

Hazel.

I don't seem to have received a notification so sorry for the late reply.

Janis those are some of the possible children i've picked up on the IGI, thanks for the full details.  They do help as i've picked up a likely baptism of an Elizabeth Walton at Allendale, father William Walton.

Christine would you be able to check out these two baptisms at Allendale?  I think they are younger siblings of Elizabeth & hopefully, given the dates they might be some useful info re the parents.

Peggy Walton daughter of William Walton & Margaret Shaw bapt 7/12/1800, William Walton so of William Walton & Margaret Shaw bapt 8/1/1803.

Thanks

Hi Jay

It won't be until Wednesday, I'm afraid but I've written them in my research book already.

Hopefully a bit more information will be forthcoming - so long as the records are where they're supposed to be on the microfilm!
