I searched Ancestry trees and one I looked at stated 'your' Isabella married a Henry Heddle 1870 Tynemouth and a daughter Christiana born 1870 South Shields.

Checked this out and found a marriage between Henry Traill Heddle and Isabella Moffet in the June quarter 1870 Tynemouth, Northumberland - their dau. Christiana born Dec.qtr.1870 South Shields.   From what I can see she was their only child.

Unfortunately, details of the marriage certificate are not online so I cannot confirm that her father was a Roger - certainly, though, she was Isabella Moffet bc.1846 South Shields so looks like this is probably her.

In 1851 Roger Moffet states he was born circa 1805 East Ord, thereafter ca.1803 Berwick upon Tweed.

He was apparently baptised United Presbyterian, Spittal, Northumberland (per FindMyPast) although no actual baptism date given - he is shown as:

Roger Moffet, son of Roger Moffet and Elizabeth his wife, of East Ord, parish of Tweedmouth, born 14/5/1802.
plus
George Moffet,             ditto,            born 21/6/1803
Andrew Moffet,             ditto,            born 23/9/1804
plus at least 8 others.

Where his parents married I have no idea.

Annette7.
I'm totally confused so I know my grandmother and great grand mother's details but from their back obviously I have bad info and I've fallen into the trap of accepting one of my relatives information and not checked it.  I consider myself suitably chastised by you and thank you for it!
What I'll do is in a month or so when the weather starts to approach winter here in NZ and I stay inside more, I'll get a subscription to Ancestry again and do better!
You could possibly help me with one thing (if you can tolerate my incompetence), can you confirm that ROGER MOFFAT (or other spelling) and CATHERINE FOBSTER were CATHERINE MOFFAT's (18/2/1844 - 14/12/1923) parents.  From that info I'll try and work back to establish the whole family and check as I go.  Gosh! I blether one - sorry!
Kind regards,
Gordon
