WILLIAM MIDDLEMISS from Chillingham Barns Farm

Ahh - I see William and Eleanor Mason appear on this thread

Perhaps it would be better to keep the two lines of enquiry separate?

My thoughts entirely, Jennifer - I went back to read the first message and then the whole thread and wondered where they were.

I see we're still in Durham

We're not now!

Searching for any information on the late William Middlemiss aged 56 years Ag.Lab and wife Hannah aged 53 years (Census 1841)

Could it be another Lamberton Toll marriage. Chillingham is pretty far north.

yes John and Jane Mason (Middlemiss) were married at Lamberton Toll on the 5/6/1841

Janet,
I think Gadget was suggesting that William and Hannah's marriage might have been at Lamberton. Have you considered this?

Only marriage on-line is at Earsdon in 1807 to a Hannah Midford but that's a bit to the south 

In the 1851* census Hannah's birthplace is said to be Hartley, which was in Earsdon Parish. So this marriage is a possibility.

Oh - that looks very promising then 

Have you followed them any further, Jennifer?

Not yet. Trying to get onto searchlabs to check out the entry on the Bishops Transcripts, but it's not responding this morning

She doesn't seem to appear on censuses after 1851. This could well be her Death Reg-

Mar Q, 1857, Newcastle upon Tyne, vol 10b  page 37


Also, there is an IGI - extracted - entry for the bpt. of a Hannah Midford:

21 Jan 1787, Earsdon. 

Parents - Robert Midford and Jane

This fits with her census age - 65 on the 1851 that Jennifer references - HO107/2421  Folio 227 Page 35

I think this is further evidence that she might well be the one

Hello Jen, Gadget, thanks for your help Iam sorry that I have not placed the entries on the right message board, Iam still unfamiliar with where England Towns, Cities are and how they change. I hope that you all have a safe and happy weekend.

Janet
