Myers family Gosforth
« on: Tuesday 04 January 22 11:08 GMT (UK) »
Good morning, looking for the parentage of my 4th GG William Myers born about 1785 in Gosforth. He may have married Mary Smith b 1786. They had Issac b 1807, Elizabeth 1809 and Hannah 1811.
William Myers may have died in Liverpool around 1841. For context, Issac Myers married Esther Bragg from the Parsonage Gosforth. Any information gratefully received.
Best wishes
Paul

Thanks Colin. Just found an 1841 entry for Mary Myers nee Smith living back in Gosforth at Hedge Hill Cottage, Ling Bank. On the same page her son Issac is a farmer. What I an still unable to find though is the parentage of William Myers. The only possible link I have explored here is John Myers b 1752 and spouse Susan from Kendal?
Best wishes

Thanks Colin. William Myers was married on 12th July 1807. He is described as a Yeoman. Based on his age at marriage this may put his actual birthdate as 1782. There is a birth entry in Whitehaven for a William Myers in this year with mother Hannah. No Father identified.

I was just about to post it, given the name of his daughter it looks a possibility, there is one other there on family search in 1787 parents John & Susan.

William Myers   Christening 16 September 1782 Whitehaven Town, Cumberland   
Mother:Hannah Myers

Possible record for Hannah but no marriage

Hannah Myer   Christening 4 March 1758Whitehaven Town, Cumberland   Father:John Myer
