Thanks Christine.

Hi Jay,

I’ve looked at Allendale PRs for the two baptisms.  There’s a lot of information there but many of the records are so faded as to be impossible to read.  Two words in both records were like this so I looked a bit further forward and found another sibling with unfaded detail so I can give you a full picture.

The children are - Peggy born 2 Dec. 1800, 3rd daughter;  William born 19 (I think) Dec. 1802, 2nd son and Robert born 10 Mar. 1805, 3rd son to

William Walton, Water House, Shoemaker, native of Brough, Westmorland son of William and Isabella (other records say Isabel) late Trotter by his wife Margaret daughter of Roger Shaw and Ann, late Robson.

Hope this helps

Hi Christine

That's great!

It confirms lots of things.

The marriage i've found of William Walton to Margaret Shaw in 1786

Baptism of Margaret Shaw the daughter of Roger Shaw in 1765

That the burial I have of a Roger Walton, son of William is the first son.

The only thing that doesn't tally is Peggy being the 3rd daughter,  i've found 5 daughters before, Elizabeth 1787, Ann 1791, Barbara 1794 (Roger Shaw had a daughter Barbara), Isabella 1796 (who must be named after her grandmother) & Margaret 1798 (died Nov 1800).  Will need to double check Elizabeth, Ann & Barbara are definately children of William Walton & Margaret Shaw, hopefully they will be as it's Elizabeth I descend from!

Thanks again for checking out those entries.  Did you have any luck with The Walton Walton marriage?  Not to worry if you didn't.

Cheers
Jay

Hi Jay

I wouldn't be overly concerned about Peggy's ranking in the family - these records were badly faded so I could have been looking at what was left of a 6 (or an 8 for that matter!).  I can check it again next time just to be sure.

Alas I didn't look for the marriage - the plain truth is that I didn't carry forward the details to yesterday's research page and simply forgot 

Next time ... (which won't be for a week or two but I'll write them in now)

Hi Jay

Finally got back to Woodhorn today and can definitely say that 1806 marriages are not on either microfilm - they are a bit confusing as David said but that year is missing completely.

Despair not, however, as I have now seen the original book.     The marriage was on 31st May 1806, bride and groom detail the same as on the banns.  Witnesses were Ulrick Walton and John Armstrong.

I did seek a second opinion on Ulrick as it seemed a bit of an odd name to crop up in Allendale but at least it’s unusual enough to stand out if he’s one of yours!

Its a very old name in the area and carried down from generation to generation in some families.

From memory its linked I think to the original owners of Whitfield Hall, but at the moment I can not find the website that gives a family tree and more information

Interesting!  Allendale isn't an area I need to research on a personal basis so I don't know much about it.  If you find the link I'd love to know how they came to use that name.

Um on checking the name at Whitfield is Utrick (as a first name) not sure if that is what later became Ulrick.

Will see if I can find the site I am looking for tomorrow
