I have some photos from that graveyard I had a nose around a few years back, thanks for the offer.
I had a bit of a dig yesterday and I think we can discount Hannah Herron (mentioned earlier in conversation) as being the Hannah as she married a Thompson Whitfield, not Thomas. It's on familysearch, plus luckily I found one of their children baptismal record on this page :http://durhamrecordsonline.com/updates/2009/page/7/
Thompson is on the 1841 census living in Brancepeth, Durham, I think Hannah had recently died.

Look what I've just found :-)
http://greatayton.wikidot.com/parish-registers
That gives a parish for Hannah of Kirby with Broughton, which I think is local to Ayton

Oops just realised there's also a John Hauxwell and a John Anderson, I think it is. Why so many witnesses?!

Happy New year!
So I have Thomas Whitfield, Bachelor, of the parish of Ayton marrying a Hannah Elders, spinster, of the parish of Thirby with Broughton (could be Thirlby, will look on map later) date: 3rd Dec 1925 married by William Dawson curate of Ayton
Looks like they signed their names
Witnesses: Mary Hardy (think this may be a relative of Thomas, there was some one who married a Hardy in the generation above I think?) also John Longstaff (he's a witness on a few on that page in teh register) William Robinson and another William, I can't quite make out surname, think it may be Hauxwell
Does that get us anywhere?

Hi,
I have come across a marriage of Thomas Whitfield to Hannah Elders in Ayton, Cleveland, 1825. The parish register is on findmypast.co.uk I have a downloaded a copy if anyone wants more info. I'm guessing this is Thomas b 1803 though there could be more Thomas and Hannah couples I guess. Will have to try and find that out. What do you others think?

Hi,
I'm a bit dubious of some of the Whitfield stuff I've seen online, they have some things that are definitly wrong. The Ann b 1834 you mention, I had that, same as you I'm unsure of where I got that though I think it was one of the dubious sources. I can't find her at all now though there is an Ann b 1826, Great Ayton, parents Thomas and Hannah, which is really close if you don't know the area. This also fits with what I've found on census records. So I'm assunimg thats the right Ann.
I can't get onto the Familysearh pilot unfortunately, my Operating System doesn't seem to be new enough! It's a bit of a pain beacuse it sounds good.
