Allendale marriage lookup 1806

[c-side]

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

It could well have been Utrick, to be honest.  That was my first thought but the second opinion thought Ulrick.  There was no loop on the letter to indicate the letter L and no cross bar to indicate a T so if Utrick is the usual spelling then Utrick is what it would have been.

Hope that doesn't sound as confusing as it seemed when I typed it

Not having much luck finding the article i saw before.

The earliest I can find is Utrick Whitfield 1630? – 1685. He was  High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1676 (many articles refer to him as Utrecht Whitfield). However I seem to recall the Utrick name goes back much further

He was the son and heir of Sir Matthew Whitfield of Whitfield, married Anne daughter of Sir John Eden.

A double baptism at Alston, 12 Feb 1820.

Margaret and Utrick, daughter and son of Thomas (Miner) and Elizabeth Walton of High Nest.

The Utrick Walton, witness at the marriage in 1806, might be Thomas's father or brother.

Unfortunately Alston seems to be awash with Utrick Waltons. Familysearch has Utrick Walton marriages at Alston in 1809, 1813 and 1821 (might all be the same Utrick) and a burial aged 66 in 1812.

Just goes to show that sometimes it is no help at all having an unusual name

Thanks Christine for checking the marriage again.  Utrick being a witness helps as the Thomas Walton i've been tracing back over has an uncle & brother of the same name.  Lots more research to do as there's loads of Walton's in Alston but i'm further forward or back as it were on the Walton's after being stuck here for a few years.

Thanks again & thanks to Alan & David for the info.

Cheers

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.

A long shot to try and break down a brick wall 
My 3 x great grandfather Robson Walton [About 1808 - March 5th 1870] has place of birth as Newcastle on all Census returns. However his wife Mary Morpeth [1810 - 1891] was born in Allendale, where she and Robson married on February 4th 1830.
I have tried for many years to discover Robson's parents.
The register you mention states Robert Walton born 1805 whose mothers maiden name was Robson.
[Clutching at straws now  ]
Does it clearly state Robert or could it be a badly transcribed Robson  in the register ?
Incidently Robson and Mary's first child, a daughter was named Isabella [1829 - 1849]

Hi Jack

Apologies for not responding earlier but I've not been on the site recently.  Also it's about a year since I looked at the Allendale records so I'd need to go back and look again.

I'll try to do this next week.

Thank you so much for the reply.
I have been searching for Robson Walton's parentage for 14 years , ever since I began researching my family history!
I have tried 'experts'[ who charged a lot and generally just 'waffled]  'and every other means under the sun - to no avail.
I am reluctant to go down the line of having an educated guess because, as we all know, that's opening the proverbial can of worms  .
If you could check the spelling I would be in your debt !

Hi Jack

I checked out Robert Walton today and , sadly for you, it distinctly says Robert.  So, although he married in Allendale he doesn’t appear to have been born there.

I suggest that you start a new topic on the main Northumberland board.  Tell us what you already know about Robson and where you have looked - see what the resourceful folks on here can find.
