Whitehill Point - Looking for Henry Storey Marshall baptism?

[River Tyne Lass]

Hi JenB

My bloodline ancestor travelled around, I have discovered in his work of being a blacksmith.  I am interested in following the trail of where my ancestors lived through the course of their lives.  I am interested in the whole life story and not simply looking for names and dates.

Incidentally, I have found that in the case of Thomas Marshall (Henry's half brother) he was baptised at a Church at Boldon even though the census always records his birth as Wallsend.  I only discovered this when searching for the burial of Ralph's wife Isabella Marshall (also my bloodline ancestor) and found her buried at a Church in Boldon, South Shields in 1868.

I am hoping that in Henry's life story there will be no such red herrings.

Thanks for your post.

Hi Radcliff,

My emails seem to be working slowly this morning and I have just discovered your post.  You are right my ancestors in this family did move around a lot.  This family started Meldon (Ralph) and Hartburn (Isabella).  Isabella was one of the servants at Meldon Park on the 1851 census.  I wish I could find more about her life here.  I would probably never have found Thomas' baptism (due to thinking he would have been baptised around the Wallsend area) if I had not found Isabella buried at the Boldon Church, South Shields.  It occurred to me that perhaps her son may have been baptised here too and thankfully following up on this theory I found I was right!

Thanks for your post.
