I live in Newcastle and, so far, I can't see it as anywhere I know. I've looked at a few maps and will keep looking. I'm trying to think what it might be in a Geordie accent.

Thanks everyone, I have been staring at an 1850s map of Newcastle and surrounding area and I can't see anything. Everything with this particular line of mine has to be hard one, nothing is ever easy! I appreciate everyone's time with this too.

Good shout on the farm too, I will keep looking!

I think I've found a possible baptism for him - but it just says  Newcastle. The parents listed as Richard and Jane - b. 25 Oct 1805 bpt 1st Dec 1805.

Add - a slurred Wallsend - Warrarsen  ??

I thought a slurred Wallsend or Willington. hmmm.

I saw the baptism, the trouble is there are quite a few if we start to look a few years each way and if it does turn out to be Wallsend, even more possibilities. I might build some trees for the contenders and see if any follow my lot about.

Thanks again,

Dan

Thinking of accent, I am wondering if it might be something like Wark Common Farm at Cornhill. It's a bit of a stretch I know. One of my Northumbrian relatives from north Northumberland emigrated to Canada, and over there his place of origin was written as New Castile unner Thynce. Thankfully that was easier to fathom. There was much movement amongst the Northumbrians between the border region and the Tyne area / Gateshead and Durham.

I wouldn't describe Cornhill (on Tweed)  as 'near Newcastle' though  :)

The information I took onboard was, the individual was a Labourer from Northumberland who got married at Newcastle in 1820........
