D:31 Jan 1901 Hebburn Colliery, Durham, England his father Edward Fenwick B:1822 West Rainton, Durham, England

Anyone have details of my ancestors? The Fenwicks are so hard to trace especially who married who.

Welcome to RootsChat, Spanna

I presume your Great Grandmother was Margaret Ann Bozagie nee Fenwick?
As I am in North Tyneside I have looked at some local cemeteries and crematoria but have unfortunately been unable to find an entry for her.

By the way, have you seen this website above.  Sometimes it can be helpful when researching for the venue of some marriages.  Perhaps helpful to know about.

Sometimes I believe you have to consider the balance of probabilities and on that basis I think William Fenwick and Martha Tate are likely to be correct.

This is I think your Edward in the 1841 census, age rounded down to 15.

Although relationships are not shown it suggests parents are likely to be William and Mary. As 2 children appear to have been born after the start of registration, Sussanah and Martha, Mary's maiden name looking at GRO seems to be Smith.

There is this marriage for a William Fenwick to Mary Smith in Washington Parish in 1817. Here is this marriage from the Bishop's Transcripts ( in addition to the resources mentioned by COL C the Bt's are a great free resource if you are looking at Durham diocese).

Note that in this marriage William Fenwick is said to be of North Biddick. This is extremely close to Fatfield which is named in the baptism entry from 1798.

Hi all, thankyou all for your help. Yes Margaret Ann Fenwick my great grandmother married Jacob Bozagie.
I am in the process of trying to find out each of Edward's and Mary Ann Smiths children married. I have a few Dna connections too to researching.
What is puzzling is I have Dna connections through Elizabeth Watson/Hall/Fenwick who i have as marrying Edward Fenwick. I am trying to find out possibly who she married in regards to hall as I believe she was born Watson as I have birth and baptism and I have the marriage as Elizabeth Hall marrying Edward Fenwick.
I appreciate the help.
