Darn it!
It seems like we might have hit a dead end and unfortunately I cant find anyone else whos researched the Morton family of this area. Those that have are as stuck as me!
Ive looked for more information on Andrew but he seems to have vanished. Doesnt seem to be in the 1841 census and I cant find a death record for him before then either.
And with no apparent marriage of any other John and Isabel to go from its all leading no where.
Think I might just have to put it back in the drawer and hopefully wait for Family Search etc to catch up with transcriptions.
Just a totally different query, can you think why three brother would all be missing from the 1891 and 1901 census's. Its some of the later Mortons and all three of them dont appear to be on there, but do reappear I think in 1911. Just more unanswered questions Im afraid.

OK very confusing indeed!
Would John Murton have had a similar thing recorded for his birth in 1791-4? If he does that might give us more information to go on.

Apart from the possible marriage of John Morton and Isabel Scott sometime in the late 1770s I havent found any other information. No idea where the couple were married but I imagine somewhere round Hebron/Morpeth.
John Murtons parents certainly seem to be a John and Isabel (according to Family Search and your results), but which Isabel and where they were both from Ive got no idea.
Thank you for all your help

Yeah Im sure hes the right one, the correct occupation and family follows through. I think his place of birth was recorded as Durahm or Bedlington and later Sheep Wash.

Ok didnt know about the John of 1776, our John was defo born around 1790ish according to the 1871 census which puts him at 80yrs. So hes probably the John later baptised in 1794.
Ive looked for deaths of children and second marriages but cant find a thing. Isabel Burn was the name of the wife in Elsdon 1779 (I think!)
Its seems obvious that there was a lot of Murton or Morton activity in and around Morpeth and Newcastle at that time, its just a bit of a mess at working out which set is ours. Annoyingly John married his wife Ann around 1833 so before certificates and therefore no father details.

Ive found another possible birth - an Isabel Murton born on 6 6 1798 in Hebron. Father John Murton and Mother Isabel Scott. Is there anyway you can check to see if this is the same family as the Andrew, John and Elizabeth. Also is there any chance you could find a marriage for this couple. Family Search drew a blank.
Thank you so much for all your help.

Thank you for taking the time to find the info.
I think they might possibly have had a daugther called Mary born around 1780 in Morpeth and another daughter Ann born 1782, this time in Bedlington so it would be interesting to know if thats correct and if any other children were born around that time.
Im guessing the pasigh records dont record anything about the parents except names.
Oh and sorry not sure how to link the two posts!
