Northumberland / Re: Thomas Richard Thornton born Sheburn, Durham 1856
« on: Saturday 07 December 13 19:50 GMT (UK)  »
In the 1901 Census he was still living with Evangeline, his second wife, in Hallam, Sheffield, West Riding of Yorkshire.

Thomas Richard Thornton's record at the Probate Office shows that he died on 20 January 1923 and in his Will he left £483 15s and 4 d to his widow Sarah Ann Thornton. However, is this the same Thomas Richard Thornton??

I don't have his birth certificate.

This recent biographical book will be of interest to all researching Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. It includes a very helpful family tree.

Having followed up T R Thornton's career further. He appears to have lived in Shipley before he married for a third time in 1917 to Sarah Ann Taylor of West Bromwich. He died in Huddersfield in 1923.  Does anyone have any information about this period, for example what happened to his second wife Evangeline?

Many thanks again William. I have done some cross checking and the information seems to fit. Also I have found matches on the GenesReunited site so I might make more progress.

Many thanks William, that all seems to fit - much appreciated.

 It also would be interesting to find if she had any children.

Glamorganshire Completed Lookups / Jeane Christian (Ne Brown)
« on: Monday 21 March 11 09:33 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying trace the marriage date and husband of Jean Walker Brown who was born in 1903 in Hartlepool, County Durham but brought up in Middlesbrough. She lost touch with her family when she move away, but died in 2001 at Nelson House, Louden Square, Cardiff with the married name of Jeane Christian.

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: ELSDON PARISH RECORDS - EDWARD BROWN
« on: Friday 07 January 11 14:38 GMT (UK)  »
My links to Elsdon for the Brown's in my family tree are as follows:

"Family Search" images of Tynemouth Parish Records show the birth of Edward Milburn Brown, 1 April 1808, 1st son of Nicholas Brown of Whitley, Labourer of Elsdon and Jane Milburn of Simonburn. The IGI Family Group Record lists Nicholas Brown and Jane Milburn as marrying on 16 Feb 1806 in Elsdon. I am fairly comfortable with the lineage up to this point.

"Family Search" IGI Family Group Record gives an Edward Brown married to Sarah Lowes on 25 June 1752, as Matilda1's above confirms. The IGI record also shows Sarah's death as 9 March 1803 and burial in Elsdon on 12 March 1803. Another IGI search gives Sarahs christening at Elsdon on 28 Oct 1730. Another person's family tree I have seen gives Edward Brown as Baptised on 25 July 1730 in Elsdon. These 'facts' I need to check further.

Thanks very much for all this useful information, Matilda1. I will cross check it with my existing sources and post the outcome. Hopefully, I can get further back.

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Elsdon parish records - Edward BROWN
« on: Thursday 06 January 11 16:41 GMT (UK)  »
If anyone has access to Elsdon Parish Records from 1672 I would be grateful if they could help me find the baptism date and parents names for Edward Brown. IGI states birth about 1727.
