Black's in Whittingham

[dblun]

Hello again Alan

Witnesses are  William and Mary Beverley.  Could be her brother and his wife!
 James (39 years) and Margaret (49 years) were married at the Register Office by certificate.

Names within her family certainly reappear through the generations .. William   ,  Dorothy ... Ellen. I agree there are too many coincidences for this not to be the right Margaret Brown.
If Thomas fathered the youngest daughter we know he was alive through early  1860 .  Isabella is referred with both surnames Dixon and Beverley but  that may have been for convenience. 
Busy days ahead !!
Thanks again
Dorothy

William and Mary Beverley are probably James brother and sister in law.

James is living with his first wife Elizabeth and child Hannah in Hauxley in 1861, so I think Thomas is probably the father of all of Margarets children.

Shame about the marriage cert fathers details spoiling a good theory. Maybe some kind person can look up the Warenford Prebyterian baptism to see where William and Jane were living at the time of the baptism.

I wonder what happened to Thomas? He is down as being born Watham Hill in Lancashire in 1851. Waitham Hill is a Farm in Kirby Ireleth Parish. Occupied in 1841 census by Farmer John Dixon and family. Includes an 18 year old Thomas Dixon, so thats probably him.

Baptism on LanOPC site :

3 Jun 1821 St Cuthbert, Kirkby Ireleth, Lancashire, England
Thomas Dixon - son of John Dixon & Eleanor. Abode: Waitham Hill. Occupation: Farmer

According to genuki Warenford Presbyterian baptisms are at Woodhorn so I could check for an address on Margaret's baptism when I'm there on Wednesday.

I am researching DIXON's also (sorry I know your posting was not on that subject but I'm new and don't know how to approach your DIXON interest otherwise)
My name is Allan Keith Dixon, my father was Andrew Dixon, Grandfather thomas William Dixon (born 1893).  He died in late 1950's or 60's but no death cert at registry office currently searching church yards in Bedlington for his grave.  Before then his father was Joseph Dixon born 1870 and before then William Dixon 1837/8 of Seghill.
Any links?
regards

Hi there,  Welcome to rootschat 

I'm certain that your grandfather's death would be registered somewhere.  If he's not where you expected him to be then perhaps he died in hospital - say in Newcastle - in which case the registration district would not be Northumberland Central.

Have you been to Woodhorn yet?  Probably a lot quicker to check cemetery records from microfilm than search for gravestones.

How about starting a new thread and have our very capable rootschatters help out?

Hi Dorothy

I checked out the Margaret Brown baptism in Warenford Presbyterian - she is definitely the one Alan found in the 1851 census but whether she is yours ....

“Margaret 2nd child and daughter of William Brown, joiner at North Charlton, Parish of Elingham but a native of Linkhall same parish and Jane Jackson his wife a native of  Haughterslaw same parish was born at N. Charlton on the 22nd February and baptised on the 9th march 1823”

Sorry to be slow answering but ran away to Calgary for a few days but here I am back to try my best to figure out this lady ! She is adamant in the census etc that her birthplace was Clattery.. wonder how close that is to N. Charleton. Out comes the atlas !

Alan ..
My thanks for all of your info.
You both have managed to keep me busy !!!!

Alan Dixon .. Sorry don't see a connection at present .

Hi Dorothy,

You'd need a very large scale map to find Clatteringhouses featured!  Both Clatteringhouses and North Charlton are actually in Ellingham parish and are about equidistant from that town but in different directions.  I reckon they are about three miles apart.

It could be that they lived at Clatteringhouses when she was a child and if that was the first place she could remember she might have been unaware of her actual place of birth.

For the location of Clattering Houses use Google Maps and the description;

Chathill NE67 5HQ

The photography car didn't get up the driveway to the houses / farm, but the imaging gives and over view of the location and depending on how far you zoom in or out you can see it in relation to North Charlton and Ellingham.
