There is a baptism of a Mary Ann Prudhoe in Ryton 11 Aug 1839 d/o William and Ann.  I only have the names and date.  The actual parish record would have the father's occupation.

An alternative view might be that by 1851 Ann was a widow however her deceased husband is not the father of the two boys.  I have a case of this "immaculate conception" in my family history.  I looked for a long time for a death certificate for a father of a 6 month old infant only to find his death was 5 years before the birth of the child and there were 2 other children born since then.  Their birth certificates have no father listed.

Interesting as I have an Edward Prudhoe in the family history.  Born abt 1824 Winlaton, baptised Ryton in 1824 with parents named Joseph and Elizabeth.

Hi Janis,

The Mary Ann Prudhoe you mention is the daughter of yet another Wiliam and Ann Prudhoe!

They are listed on the 1841 census as living in in Stella, and William's occupation is recorded as "Keelman". His father John is listed on the same census page. I have traced the family  through the other censuses, and John Lee Prudhoe and William Lee Prudhoe are unfortunately not their descendants.

You may possibly be right about Ann being married previously, or having the children out of wedlock-I too have come across these glitches and it takes ages(and a lot of patience and determination!) to sort out.

I know of the Edward Prudhoe you mention-I am almost sure his father Joseph and my great great great grandfather Edward, born in 1779 were brothers.

Have we ever had any previous contact-your name seems familiar. Send me a PM if you want to discuss our family history further.

Regards Marilyn

Marilyn,

No previous contact that I know of although I am on several Northeast area boards such as this one.

My family has a Margaret Ann Prudhoe b. 1852, daughter of Edward Prudhoe, married to George Hall brother of my gr great grandmother Sarah Hall.  No big family connection but in this family history hobby--any connection is a connnection however distant.

I remembered where I saw the name "Janis"-she was a member of  Genes Reunited who got in touch with me a couple of years ago.

I managed to contact Allan via email but he hasn't really managed to get any further re. Ann Lee.

I found an IGI record for an Ann Lee born in Hexham in 1816-father John Lee, so she looks like she could be the right person and possibly her father is the one John Lee Prudhoe is named after.

His brother William, however seems to alternate between including the "Lee" bit and not. On the censuses it is not included, but on his death registry it is-very confusing!
