Hi everyone
I wonder if anyone can help me - I have John Addison bn around 1778, christened 21.12.1783, son of John and Mary. On his wedding cert he is shown as a sailor of Woodhorn parish - also on the 1841 census he was shown as bn woodhorn. Ive visited the Woodhorn archive, and cant find him (or the parents) on the church records for woodhorn.
any ideas where to go now?
Any ideas welcomed!
thanks
Sharon

Hi, sharon, just a thought but Woodhorn is only a couple of miles from Newbiggin by sea, perhaps it is worth checking out the records for this parish too, the church is St Bartholomews. I have a few Addisons in my family tree, it is probably incidental though as I think they cam from Warkworth. but they are Alice Addison,Thomas Addison and also an Ann Addison.

Hi Sharon
Have you looked at http://www.genuki.bpears.org.uk/NBL/Woodhorn/ChurchRecords.html
"Adjacent Parishes.
The following parishes are adjacent to Woodhorn:- Bedlington, Bothal, Newbiggin, Widdrington."
Have you checked the records of all those parishes?
Also Bedlington was part of County Durham at one stage. From wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedlington :
"Bedlington was made over to the ecclesiastical commissioners in 1866. Bedlingtonshire was made part of Northumberland for civil purposes by acts of parliament in 1832 and 1844."
So on the 1841 census residents of that area would write No to whether they were born in Northumberland, as they were in a small, separated part of Co Durham at that time. Much confusion is created by this because now Bedlington is in Northumberland.
Good luck

Hello - and thanks for all the suggestions - I will now look at the adjacent areas' churches to see if they hold anything.
I have come across another confusing piece of information - the John Addison I am looking for was married to mary Reed, in, as far as I know, Earsdon. Ive come across an 'Addison John Cresswell' bn abt 1778 married to an Elizabeth Mary Reed. Is this just a massive coincidence?? As far as I know, Cresswell is in the same type of area as Woodhorn (?). there is a lot of info about them on rootsweb.
Any thoughts??

The Baker-Cresswells as in Addison Baker Cresswell of Cresswell Esq were the gentry of Cresswell. Your John Addison as a sailor does not seem to fit
Whether it is worth following up the Baker-Cresswells to discover where the name Addison as a christian name stems from I will leave to you A B-C died in 1879 aged 90 years.
Best wishes

Hi
Apparently Addison Baker Cresswells father was a John Addison of Woodhorn and his mother was Elizabeth Cresswell. The Baker was added after A B-C's wife Elizabeth inherited a fortune from her cousin, John Baker. It looks like John Addison was renamed John Cresswell in 1807 (info from rootsweb).
So - it boils down to my John Addison(the one at the beginning of this thread), whose father seems to be called John too, both being from Woodhorn, possibly being linked to the Baker-Cresswells?
Any ideas where I could investigate this further? looks like a trip to Woodhorn is imminent!
thanks
Sharon

. . . and perhaps curiouser.
I realised I had a little book about Cresswell and the immediate surrounding villages like Ellington. The author includes a discussion on the Cresswell pedigree..
Part of it reads (I quote) . . Frances Dorothea married Francis Easterby, an Elder Brother of Trinity House and nephew of John Addison of Woodhorn Demesne. He (Francis Easterby) purchased his sister in law's moiety of Cresswell and assumed the name and arms of Crsswell in 1807 (end quote)

John Addison... " a sailor of Woodhorn parish".
Woodhorn parish gave "birth" to Newbiggin parish ( and to Horton parish also).
But John could not "sail" in or out of any of these places.
He could have fished in fishing boats off Newbiggin or nearby Cresswell, but then he would have been described as a "fisherman"
He could of course have still lived within the parish territory of Woodhorn/Newbiggin and have sailed in/out of the nearby ports/harbours of Amble/Warkworth, Blyth, Tyne, Sunderland, ( and getting father away... Hartlepool, Berwick, Whitby).

Stupid question - but how would I know if I found the right John? If it is very vague over the place of his birth, what can I go on?
any ideas / suggestions welcomed!
