William Westrey/Westray of Embleton

[0191alex11]

Hi!
    Can anyone help with the following?

I have a William Westrey born circa 1683, possibly at Embleton? William had four children what I can trace:

Thomas Westrey bapt 24 Jul 1706

Mary Westrey bapt 27 Nov 1708

Ann Westrey bapt 2 Feb 1713

John Westrey bapt 8 Sep 1717

Cant find a baptism for William or a marriage as yet. There were a lot of Westrey families living at Embleton at the time?

Mary Westrey (Williams daughter) married a Joseph Studdart (Stoddart/Stoddard) on 18 November 1733 at Embleton and had issue.

Thanks!

Are you in the right county here?   Embleton is in Northumberland - up on the coast. Is there one in Cumberland too?

Hi!
    Yes there is a small village called Embleton near Cockermouth. If you Google Embleton, Cumbria it tells you a little about the village.

Thanks, Andrew

May be bit of a stretch but i have my 5th great grandpa (and some other relations after him) name Thomas Westray from that area. He had a son named Thomas too. they name has an A not an E though.

Name   Thomas Westray
Birth   Abt. 1737
Death   29 Aug 1812

Possible his father was named Thomas who would of been born around then. The spellings can change over time or sometimes be translated wrong. If you need any info let me know.
