Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Warkworth, Northumberland Lookups for Brown family

Thanks Tickettyboo, I hadn't realised that there are unindexed images of parish record on FamilySearch.  I reported it as a mistranscription on FreeReg, they can always choose to add a note the record.

Thanks Rosie, do you think it's obvious enough that it's Brown, not Brocon, to report it as a mistranscription on FreeReg?

The person transcribing for FreeReg was probably doing it from the same BTs with the gap.

Craclyn, I'll post a reminder when UK is out of lockdown.  I've been to Woodhorn once to look through records, but it's a 5 hour drive from me on a good day.

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Warkworth, Northumberland Lookups for Brown family
« on: Thursday 04 June 20 08:40 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

Please could someone with access to the microfiche/images of St. Lawrence, Warkworth parish records lookup the following three events for me.  I'm interested in any additional information on the records.

Baptism Elizabeth Brown 27 Dec 1818. This is transcribed as Elizabeth Brocon on FreeReg. Is this a mistranscription? I have parents names George and Ellen, abode Warkworth, George was a shepherd. FreeReg doesn't give date of birth, although I have 15 Nov 1818 from somewhere (wasn't always good at keeping sources).

Baptism William Brown (my 3xGreat Grandfather) 12 Jan 1812. This one is on FamilySearch but not FreeReg (seems to be a gap early 1811 to early 1813, no Johns, Williams, Elizabeths or Marys). FamilySearch just gives father's name George. Again, I have date of birth 17 Sep 1811 from somewhere.

Marriage of George Brown and Eleanor/Ellen Smart 19 May 1811. From FamilySearch, no additional info.

I'm trying to improve George and family's profiles on WikiTree:

Thanks,

Hello Bill,

We think we've found their two younger children's births (Thomas Q1 1841 and Elizabeth Mary Emma Q1 1846) on the GRO website with mother's maiden name Matthews.  Although we haven't paid our £7 each to confirm it's them.

We're then thinking that Elizabeth Matthews first married a Ranney, but can't find that marriage.

The eldest child Thomas was born 5th May 1833 according to his baptism in 1835, there's a note above the date which we can't read (image attached).

Hello David,

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you.  I seem to have stopped receiving notification emails from Rootschat (maybe I missed them in junk email) and only just found your replies.

Thanks for all the useful information and links to online trees.

We've never had access to any French records, so these trees are invaluable and take us a lot further back up these branches.

Thanks again,

James

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: William Atkinson Hutchinson b1853, died in Northumberland after 1911

And thanks Alan for finding that record on DurhamRecordsOnline, I'd not seen that website before.  Not sure about paying for a transcription rather than an image of the record.

Interesting that the parish of the baptism was in the Houghton le Spring district.

That gives us three likely births on FreeBMD:
Births Mar 1853
Atkinson  William    Houghton le S  10a 243

Births Dec 1853
ATKINSON  William     Chester le S  10a 229

Births Jun 1854
Atkinson  William     Houghton le Sg.  10a 279

The first one is the one we ordered a long time ago and turned out to be the wrong one (the son of William Atkinson and Lucy (nee Burnle(e/a/s)) of Four Lane Ends, Hetton-le-Hole, born there 14th Jan 1853, for anyone finding this through a search).

Getting the baptism date could point to the earlier of the two remaining ones if it's early in the year, but otherwise it still could be either.

Thank you for spending time looking and finding this for us Christine, sorry it's taken a few days to reply, we've been away for half term.  That looks like him, still living in Throckley (~100m away from where he was in 1911).  As Throckley and Newburn are both in Castle Ward and the age matches, we'll order the Q1 1931 Castle Ward death certificate.

Thanks all for the responses.

I think the birth in Chester-Le-Street R.D. is the one we've sent off for before and it turned out to be the wrong person, but I'll check when I find the details of the one we received.

Even though he may have been buried in Newburn, he may have died in Newcastle upon Tyne R.D., there are a few deaths of William Hutchinson of around the right age on FreeBMD, including:
Q1 1931:
Hutchinson  William  75  Newcastle T.  10b 277
Hutchinson  William  76  Castle W.  10b 580
Q3 1931:
Hutchinson  William  78  Newcastle T.  10b 4
Q2 1914 (If my grandmother had misremembered):
Hutchinson  William  60  Newcastle upon Tyne  10b 157

His place on birth and age on the censuses we have found him on were:
1861 - Wapping (7)
1881 - Burn Moor (27)
1891 - Burn Moor (37)
1901 - Burmoor (47)
1911 - Burn Moor (57)

Wapping is here:
https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/431065/551700
B(o)urnmoor is listed in Chester le Street R.D., but it is right on the border with Houghton-le-Spring R.D.  Wapping was set apart from B(o)urnmoor (which is not the same place as the large group of houses on a modern map).

Here is William in our tree on WorldConnect:
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=ellensut&id=I45

Does anyone have access to Newburn burial records to check whether any of the Williams above were buried there?  His address in 1911 was Throckley, but he may well have moved after that.

Thanks,

James

Northumberland Lookup Requests / William Atkinson Hutchinson b1853, died in Northumberland after 1911

Hello,

We're looking for the death or burial of my Great Great Grandfather.  He was know as William Atkinson Hutchinson and was born in c. 1853 (yet to find birth or baptism) in Wapping, Burnmoor, County Durham before his parents John Hutchinson and Elizabeth Atkinson were married in 1854.

He is on the 1911 census in Throckley with his second wife Esther.

My grandmother said she remembered him from when she was a child (not sure how old), she was born in 1921, and thought he was buried at Newburn parish church in Northumberland.

There are several William Hutchinson on the GRO index of around the right age who died in the 1910s to 1930s.  A burial in Newburn would help point us to the right one.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

James
