Archibald Ramage & Smithson Peverall

[coombs]

Hi

i just searched the IGI and couldnt find a birth for him 1725-1735. The nearest one was 1714 in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Archibald Ramage was still alive in 1774 when his son Robert died. Could it be he might have been born before 1730?

I'll need to dig through all my very disorganised scraps of paper (low-tech!) at the weekend to find the source. I don't usually put data on my working tree unless I've verified it though. I know it stated he was born 1730 in Wakefield.

I'm waiting with anticipation ...... for someone to come up with a birth for archibald ...... or a death ....... searching the BTs is such a strain on the eyes!!

Between 1857 and 1870 did they only have the three children Ben? ... John, Mary and Henry.

Okay Chaps,
had a look at www.durhamrecordsonline.com and although it only had the marriage for Archibald Ramage in 1757 in Chester le Street - and no place of birth - it did have the following info for his son Henry Ramage -
baptised 1769 in Chester le Street;
buried 1737 in Chester le Street;
born in Wakefield, Yorkshire.
So Archibald came from Wakefield, married Smithson, took her back to Wakefield to have the baby and then back to Chester le Street for the baptism!

thanks Empty ...... I hadn't looked for a death for son Henry ...... only grandson Henry.

I've got Smithson's burial in 1770 but the only birth I can find is in Gainford 29th Nov 1725 daughter of Henry and Mary Perverall and sister of Elianor Peverall 1727 and a brother John 1716 who died 1717.

Mary Peverall married Joseph carter in Chester le Street  8th July 1756.

Does this fit in with what you have?

Sorry ..... I had this in an earlier post .... just noticed

Hi

Ramage is a Scottish surname and Archibald is a Scots forename. I also have Scots ancestors Stewarts who moved from Selkirk to Bishop Auckland in about 1760.

Can anyone verify that Archibald was born in Wakefield? Robert Ramage was baptised in Leeds, Yorkshire according to the IGI. I cannot remember the exact date but I think it was 1758 to 1765. With such a Scots sounding name, I think Archie Ramage was Scottish or of Scottish heritage.

Ben,  the Wakefield angle has me baffled .... with none of my early families going any further south than Darlington.

The scottish angle sounds about right .... but Wakefield. ..... but that's what it says in the transcripts.

As somebody already suggested on another thread  .....'maybe there was another Wakefield' ............. but I can't find one.

Just thought........ Isabella Airey who married Henry Ramage came from Kellington, N. Yorkshire ....... that's near Wakefield as well ......... so there must be quite a big commitment to the area.
