have you looked under the name 'jos burnsides' as he is head of household aged 36 in 1861 born in cockerton, which would be your josephs age, unfortunatly where i found him (igi pilot search) there were no futher details, (to add im not the greatest at searching though)
just a thought

The parish church for Cockerton is Darlington (in BT's under Parlington). You have looked there I take it? I see the records don't so that high.
Up to 1812 I see three Burnsides baptisms. I suppose you could keep a name in back of your mind:
Mary Burnside born 10 Aug 1799, baptised 23 Aug 1800 1st daughter of John Burnside, labourer, native of Brafferton in the parish of Aycliff by his wife Ann Parkin, native of Monk Heslington (sic) in this county.
I think Mary married in 1835 to a Francis Dinsdale if it is the same Mary Burnside.

I am thinking the uncle might be a great uncle and Robert and John are brothers being both born Brafferton.
Looking at Aycliff in the IGI both Robert and John have a father named Joseph.

Hi Gary,
I have done some research on the Burnside families but don't have a Joseph or Robert that would fit yours. They will probably link up somewhere and I can check for Joseph's baptism next week at the library.
Cockerton was in the parish of St Cuthbert's, Darlington, until Holy Trinity opened.
Regards,
Colin

I have a Joseph Burnside on my line who was born a little earlier in Cockerton, he may be an ancestor of your Joseph, he was a farmer's hind and lived at Oak Tree House, Cockerton in Darlington in 1785 when his daughter Lavinia was born. Lavinia married George Cowley in Haughton Le Skerne, Darlington in 1818 (as Lovehannah Burnside) it's possible they are relatives of yours. However, I have not researched this line yet and the only other scrap of information I have is a grave in Billingham (where the Cowleys migrated) right next to that of George and Lovehannah's son which reads: In Loving memory of Joseph Robert Burnside, youngest son of Joseph and Elizabeth Burnside who died May 9th 1909 aged 23 years, also Elizabeth, beloved wife of Joseph Robert Burnside and mother of the above who died June 11th 1917 aged 65 years.
Although I have not researched this line properly I found the above scrap online on familysearch as a lot of Darlington's parish records are available to view online as scanned images- much more than you get for an IGN search on the same website, if you didn't know this, go to family search's homepage, highlight 'Search Records' and click on 'Record Search Pilot', then click 'Browse our record collections' a map will appear, click on the UK, click on 'English diocese of durham bishops transcripts circa 1700-1900, then click on Durham, you should get a menu which includes parish records for Darlington (which includes Cockerton), Aycliffe, Coniscliffe and Haughton Le Skerne, click on the one you want, then select the time period and click 'view images', it has saved quite a few trips to Durham Records for me and it's nice to view the original records.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Hi Gary,
I thought I'd better let you know that I might not get to the library this week as I've just come down with a cold and I don't want to spread it.
If you or Dan ever decide to research the Burnside families I would suggest having a padded wall nearby. They are a nightmare because they all tended to use the same names at the same time.
As an example, Dan mentions Lavinia born 1785 at Cockerton. I have Lavinia born 1786 at Blackwell, both in the Parish of St Cuthbert's. Which one married George Cowley at Houghton le Skerne, which was also in the Parish of St Cuthbert's?
Or could it be yet another Lavinia as both would have been in their 30's by 1818? Early marriage records did not show father's name which makes for a lot of guesswork.

Hi Gary,
It was a disappointing search. No Joseph Burnside baptised at St Cuthbert's from Jan 1820 to Feb 1831. I re-checked for any Joseph baptised in 1825 or 1826 but there was nothing likely. I wondered if I had the year wrong so checked the census which confirmed it. His uncle (?) Robert was born Brafferton so I wondered if Joseph might have been baptised at Aycliffe. Unfortunately the library is having a recurrent problem with a leaking roof and the microfilm storage is cordoned off so I couldn't check.
I don't like being beaten so I checked the BTs for Aycliffe and still found nothing for Joseph, but there was an interesting burial on 15 Feb 1824 for Elizabeth Burnside age 82 of Bottom House, Parish of Darlington. This is the neighbouring farm to Holly House where Joseph and Robert were from 1851.
It seems to me that Robert could be the son of Elizabeth, and as he was born Brafferton, she would have moved to Cockerton after c1778, presumably with her husband. It might be worth trawling the BTs for St Cuthbert's to build up a possible mother or father for Joseph.
If I can help further, then let me know.
Colin
