Whickham & Dunston Families
« on: Tuesday 23 October 07 17:07 UTC (UK) »
I'm researching the following families who were all in either Whickham or Dunston during the 19th century:

Burn or Bourn and even in one  or two instances Bourne
Storey
Atkinson
Taylor (Originally from Cumberland)
Archer (founders of Dunston Engieering Works)
Donnelly (Immigrants from Armagh)

Any possible relatives please get in touch

Hi Lynn
Sorry I don't think we are descended from the same branch of the Storey Family. My connection is to Eleanor Storey b 1779, her father was Samuel Storey who married Margery Jobling in 1774. I've got a birth date for Samuel (Came from the IGI) but no details of his parents. Unfortunately it appears that a lot of the Whickham Storeys have descendants who are members of the LDS Church and a lot of the IGI data is what LDS members have submitted which also means that its fairly suspect.

The only way to find out whether we really are connceted is to go through the Whickham Parish Registers - there is a very good web-site:-
              www.search.labs.familysearch.org

that contains the Bishop's Transcripts for Durham but the Whickham records are only from June 1767 to 1853 there are also records for Ryton and Tanfield. I've had a quick look at Whickham and Ryton but couldn't find your Robert.

Hope you do find your Storey's and if you do find there's a connection  please do contact me again
Good luck

Thank for that - I think that Samuel is a bit too old to be mine - he married in 1774 and died some time after 1803,

That was Samuel's first marriage? In 1774?  Did the marriage state he was a bachelor?  You never know.

Hi Janis,

I don't know whether Samuel was married previously - the Bishops Transcript for Whickham just gives the names Samuel Storey and Margery Jobling both of this parish for their marriage in  March 1734.

I've found a death  in the Whickham BTs for a Samuel Storey of Lobley Hill in June 1826 that gives his age as 80 so that would make his birth date about 1746.

By the way I see you are researching the name Greener - I'm descended from Anthony Greener 1736-1809 who married Elizabeth Pescod in 1765! What is your connection to the Greeners?

Regards

Three of the Greeners that died at the Felling mine disaster of 1812 were my relatives.  Isaac Greener b 1747 d 1812 married to Ann Maugham were my many times great grandparents.  All their children were baptised in Gateshead.

Added Oct 2009.  One of Isaac Greener's grandsons was William Wellington Greener, gunsmith.  I gather the company is still making guns.

Hello Mike,

My connection is through Dorothy who would have been my 3rd cousin 3times removed.
