Berwick Look up Please

[raewyngillian]

I dont know if this is the correct Forum to post this but if someone is going into the berwick archives ny time soon could they please do a lookup for me?
I am searching for the birth of Isabella Thompson born 1804 Berwick according to various Cenci.  I'm also looking for her marriage to Joseph  Weatherston, date unknown.

Joseph was a Slater in Northumberland.

I can find this couple in the Cenci but I can't find any births or marriages.

I would love to find Isabella's parents.

Cheers

don't forget Berwick on the records doen't nescessarly mean Berwick-upon-Tweed Northumberland its more likely to mean Berwickshire in the Scottish Borders

Berwickshire ranges from Mertoun in the west to the east coast and Coldstream in the South and Cockburnspath in the North and all in between - its a very big county

it a good idea the check both side of the Borders

Hi

Further to Terianne's posting, both Isabella and Joseph were down as being born Berwick on Tweed on the 1851 census HO107/458/38  They seem to have lived in Berwick on Tweed throughout. Berwick on Tweed is in Northumberland, England.

added - in 1841, they are in Berwick upon Tweed - both born Northumberland   HO107/844/1/32/20

Hi again

There is quite an extensive online tree with photographs and details of his probate entry (in Newcastle), etc. (Dickinson Family Tree)

If you have a sub to Ancestry or log on to Mundia, you would be able to view it. No info on the marriage or Isabella's parents, though.

I'm not sure if you've seen the probate record for Isabella. She died 29 March 1888 at Berwick upon Tweed and Probate was granted on 19 April 1888,  Newcastle upon Tyne.  Personal Estate was £2808. 19.6

Hi to all who have replied thus far.

I have searched intensely for this family for many years and have seen the " Weatherston" family tree on Ancestry, and have copies of the photos of Joseph and Isabella.  I have sent away for a copy of Isabella's Will and am still awaiting its arrival.

The main thing I want is to know Isabella's parents names as I cannot continue my search until I have these names….particularly the mother's name. 

I have three families - Paxton - Hogarth - and Thompson which are all related in some way and everywhich way I look I cannot find out the parents names.

Hence my request for someone to go and look at the books  ( BDM's)which I believe are held by the Berwick on Tweed Council??

I am getting closer to blindness as the months go on and would love to solve this mystery before I cant see at all.

Cheers

Hi
You need a look up at parish registers for Berwick to see if you can pick up the baptism.  They will be at the local archives office and unless there are transcripts it means searching the film of the register.  You can get the film to search at your nearest LDS family history centre.  They are worldwide.  That might be difficult if your sight is failing. 
Are you a member of the Northumberland Family History Group?  http://www.ndfhs.org.uk/  It will be worth looking at their website and also Genuki which has links to a marriage index etc.
http://www.genuki.bpears.org.uk/NBL/   I may have that on fiche - will check later.

Hi sillgen,

I used to belong to that group but now that I can't read their newsletters....the printing is too small....I am stuck.  I have purchased various fiche and disks but have found nothing. 

Someone suggested asking for a lookup so this was my last hope.   I can but hope someone may find the answer and send me an email.

Cheers

Gillie
