*COMPLETED* Confusion over death dates, Hetherington family of Brampton

[sirsimon]

According to the site you gave me, William never had a wife named Ann.

However I think it has left somethings out, there is an Ann on the gravestone and an eldest son named Levi, whom is ommited.

[sirsimon]

I think the Ann is not an error for Alice, as Alice died in 1892, Ann died in 1901, there is plenty of time for him to remarry, there must have been a marriage from 1893 to 1896 then

[sirsimon]

Just checked free bmd however and there isnt a corresponding marriage 

[robbiesmum]

There is a possible marriage, in 1893 in Gateshead.
Unlikely, but didn't your James Henry Steel get married in Gateshead?

Yes James Henry Steele married Alice in 1877 at Gateshead, he died there in 1934

Re the post of 10+ years ago of Robbiesmum, which gives a link to the John Olsen webset (non-contactable), which sets out in full the family and descendants of William Hetherington and Alice Graham in Brampton, I just wanted to add that I have the parents of William Hetherington as John Hetherington, weaver, born or baptised 21 April 1803 in Brampton, and his wife, Elizabeth Mitchinson 1803-1881.  I have John the weaver's parents as John Hetherington, another Brampton weaver, b. 17 February 1779, and his wife, Elizabeth Pickering 1780-1826. I started by first logging this last couple, because they are ancestors of two distant dna cousins of mine whom I match on Ancestrydna.

Hi Janet

Welcome to Rootschat

sirsimon, who started this topic, and robbiesmum  have both been online here recently and should receive notifications that you have posted, just as I did. Hopefully they will come back soon and reply.
