Seeking help re Susannah Robinson Birth
« on: Wednesday 23 April 14 07:09 BST (UK) »
I have verified that Susannah Robinson married Samuel Jopling 24 Nov 1735 at Chester Le Street, Durham.

When I try to find her birth/baptism, I find four records on Family Search!
What I would like to work out, which one is the most likely to be the one who married Samuel.

There was Susannah baptised 27 Oct 1706 at Chester Le Street with father James.
There was Susannah baptised 08 Jan 1706 at Bishopwearmouth with father John
There was Susannah baptised 03 Feb 1706 at St Margaret, Durham with father Thomas
And then there was Susannah baptised 11 Aug 1703 at Chester Le Street with father James. There is a burial for a female in April 1705 with father James, at Chester Le Street, so I assume that this is for Susannah born 1703.

Any ideas would be very gratefully received

What did she name her sons?   That is often a clue.   Robinson is such a common name in that area but I would tend to stick with the most local one as being most worthy of further investigation - even if only to eliminate it.     Any wills?

Sillgen, the only son I can find, so far, is John, born at Chester le Street 21 Jan 1739.

I can find no other sons, and only two other daughters! That is on the Family Search site.

At this stage, I have not had any chance of looking for wills, but will follow up, as I had not thought of that :-[

Thank you for that sillgen.

I will have to purchase credits and get a copy of the records shortly, and get as much information as possible from them.

Many thanks for your help.

There is no more than I gave you re the 1712 one as I looked but searching for Cornelius may find more.
