Berwick Look up Please

[JenB]

I hope you don't mind me pointing out that there several other threads which are relevant to this enquiry. Some of them contain other useful background details also census information which has I think been repeated on this thread.

Hi Jennifer

Thanks for drawing my attention to some of the other threads earlier.  I've been checking up on the info contained in them and some that I've put here is different or additional but I'm not sure where Gillie got info on Isabella's father being a blacksmith - nothing in the B on T directory of 1806

From other thread:

Familysearch has an Isabella Thompkins, born 31/1/1804 and christened 18/2/1805, Chapel Street or Shaws Lane or Relief Chap, United Berwi, Berwick upon Tweed (batch no C080401). That's the closest I can find on line

I did see a Tompkins (smith)  in the directory but it will take me a while to find it again 

added - Think this is the one:

Isabella Thompson married Joseph Weatherston.  She was the daughter of Thompson the blakcsmith from Western Lane and her mother was a Hogarth.

Yes - but what was her source for that info?

Hi Everyone,

What a wonderful lot you are!!  Yes William James Paxton, Croydon is my GT GT Grandfather
Adelaide Emma Smith, his Wife.  1861 census the John James Paxton as head of the house is INCORRECT - should be Wm James Paxton.  John James Paxton, the son,  is my Gt Grandfather.  There also shows a Mary Hogarth as being William James Paxton's grandmother in the 1861 census but I dont know if that is her married name or her birth name….born 1777 Srouston RoxBurgh
The William James Paxton is the one who has had several inheritances
Mary Hogarth shows in previous censi with her daughter Isabella Paxton, who married John Paxton.  He died 1839.  BUT Isabella Paxton's previous name was Isabells JAMES..and I cant connect Mary Hogarth to any Mr James….but all of this is going on a slightly different track. I have Mary Hogarth's death cert but it gives no other info at all.  Cant find any Will. And I cant find any MR Hogarth.

If anyone would like copies of the Christina Hogarth Will I am happy to send it if it would be of help.

I am most grateful for all your assistance

The Info on Isabella's father being a blacksmith was written down by an ancestor who visited berwick on Tweed from NZ…." Mr Thompson was a blacksmith who lived in Western Lane". She also wrote that "Isabella's mother was said to be a Hogarth"

Hi Folks

PM received from Brevitas!

I haven't been to the archives for a while but am planning to be there next week so can look at Berwick C of E records while I'm there if nothing has transpired by then.

Will report back - probably this time next week
