Hi everyone

I have been trying to find the parents for John Blake b 1802 scotland, he married Christian Armstrong b 1805 also from scotland.

I havent been able to find any birth records or marriage for either.  The only hint I have is in 1841 Margaret Blake b 1764 Rickarton is living with them so i assume this is his mother.

Can anyone help me please 

Thanks
Amanda

Hi everyone

Could someone help me please.

Mary Blake born 1825 Falstone married William Hunter b 1822 Haltwhisle sometime between 1842 & 1851.  They had 3 children all of which were christened in PRESBYTERIAN-NC,HALTWHISTLE,NORTHUMBERLAND,ENGLAND.

I have searched the images on familysearch.org for Haltwhistle and not one of the baptisms is recorded?  (eg.  John Blake Hunter b 17 Oct 1853 bap 15 May 1854).   

1.  I cant find any record of any marriage between Mary Blake and William Hunter
2.  Why would there be no records of the baptisms

Is this because it was a PRESBYTERIAN baptism/marriage.

Apologies for my ignorance but I really don't understand.

Thanks

Hi

Can anyone help me please I am going round in circles.

I am trying to find the parents of William Thompson b c 1829 possibly forton, Great Stainton or Aycliffe.  Sorry for being so vague but on most of the census records it is recorded as UK.

He married Margaret Barron b 1840 in 1857 Chester Le Street she died in 1874.  He then went on to marry Ann Barron (his dead wifes sister) in 1876.

On the 1891 census he is living with Frances Bowman b 1826 Aycliffe, who is in fact his sister. 

So I now have Frances Thompson b1826 Aycliffe & William Thompson b 1829 and I just cannot find any parents or any other siblings.

Can anyone help me please.

Thanks in advance

Hi

Another roots member has kindly confirmed the birth and parents of my ggg grandfather William Earnshaw and details are below:

Baptism  28 April 1816
St Peter, Birstall, Yorkshire West Riding
William Earnshaw
Birth: 14 Mar 1816
Fathers Forenames: John
Fathers occupation: White Smith
Mothers Forenames: Ann
Address: Great Gomersal


I cannot find a marriage for John Earnshaw and Ann.  The only one I can find is John and Hannah Nicholson, could this be the same person?

I have checked the 1841 census and again no John and Ann only John and Hannah.

Could someone help me find a birth for John and also a marriage?

There are no other births listed for John and Ann, but there are more for John and Hannah?

Sorry if I am a bit vague but I dont really have any more information and am at a complete standstill again.

Thanks in advance and heres hoping.

Hi

I was wondering if someone could look up the Baptism of John Earnshaw born 1796.  I have his father as William but no mother.

I dont know how easy it is but would you be able to confirm any siblings?

Thanks in advance
