Morning Carole,
I have just looked at what you have done...I cant close my jaw!!!its dropped so much.
How you have done all that is just beyond me, Its going to take me ages to digest it all, But I love it!!. Gosh dident they travel,
What I cant quite get my head around is the name Pearson?
When my Great grandmother  Catherine Mitchinson    married in 1898,
It was to George Pearson Baldam...
Going to make a coffee and have a good read of all your amazing work,
From the bottom of my heart
Thankyou
Chrissie

I wondered about the Pearson name as well so I did a search for any other Mitchinson/Baldam marriages but there was only the 1898 one. 

By the way - you don't need that 1869 marriage cert now that we know who Williams parents were

Hello CaroleW,
Hope your weekend went well !
This info is brilliant...and Lincolnshire..how strange again,Thats where my OH family come from.
So many different spellings of Baldam too,  no wonder its been so hard.
Its wonderfull to be able to look at all this,and try and see what their lives must have been like.
Thankyou Carole,you have been marvelous to me...
1913 Charles is my Grandmothers Brother....He was a witness at her Wedding.
No one has been able to find the birth of her, This is the lady I told you about that  others tried to help with...Someone said she might have been born a different name.
My Grandmother was Isabella Baldam born 1912 ? but definately Nov .died 1968 ....first quarter
Thankyou very very much
Chrissie

Hi Chrissie

Saw her marriage and she was Isabella N Liddle when she died - can you confirm I have the right surname

If she was born in November and was 64 when she died in the March qtr of 1968 (as per death reg) that gives a birthyear of November 1913  which does not tie in with Charles born the same year

If you are sure she was b 1912 then he age on her death reg is wrong

Do you know whether she was b Middlesborough or Sedgefield

HI Chrissie,
although your post was a few years ago, it came up on a recent web search.

I am a descendent of Pearson Mitchinson (b 1813 Newcastle, Gateshead, Durham; baptised 1815 www.familysearch.org Indexing Project (Batch) Number:P00059-2 System Origin:England-ODM Source Film Number:252785). He is my great x3 grandfather.

Your search has probably moved on by now. However I have  lot of information about those particular Mitchinsons, including the Canongate/Edinburgh ones (that I am directly descended from) that I would be happy to share - if you still want it. Just let me know.

I haven't found very much on the generation before (Jacob Mitchinson and Sarah Thompson in Gateshead, Durham) - in case you have, I'd love to know more about them.

Best Wishes, Susan
