Help wanted on Wedderspoons!
« on: Sunday 06 April 08 14:13 BST (UK) »
Has anyone come across the Wedderspoon (or similar spelling) family in the 1790s in Newcastle?

John Wedderspoon, mariner, poss. from Scotland m. Esther Allison in Bishopswearmouth, 1790.

dau. Mary b. 1791 Sunderland, m. John Urwin 1816
son John b. 1792 Sunderland, m. Margaret Gates(?) 1812
dau. Elizabeth b. 1797 Newcastle, m. Joseph Tate 1818
dau. Ann, b. 1800 Newcastle, m. Joseph Richardson 1818

All children were married in Newcastle.

Does anyone know anything about any of these people? It appears that these are the only Wedderspoons in Newcastle at this time.

Gareth,

I see you also posted this on the Durham and Scotland boards.
Hope you don't mind me suggesting that it might be a good idea to cross-reference them all to save duplicate replies/look ups etc.

That's a good idea Jennifer. Seems as though the other entries are already locked, so can't do much now. But if I have to post another general trawl for info, I'll cross-reference them myself.

There are a couple of christening records on SP but obviously cant link them to the Newcastle marriage

30/06/1760 WEDDERSPOON JOHN born to DAVID WEDDERSPOON at  Fowlis Wester /PERTH

14/02/1773 WEDDERSPOON JOHN born to JAMES WEDDERSPOON and CATH. FOTHERINGHAM at Fowlis Wester /PERTH

If you can identify which church the baptisms took place in Newcastle then ask someone to check the original for the one in 1800.  In that period the vicar should have named the parishes of birth for both parents (but they sometimes don't!)

Worth a try
