Tracing Thomas Halberts Ancestry

[Revolution]

If anyone is following this thread a direct male descendant of Thomas Halbert born about 1806 in Newcastle Upon Tyne and died in 1865 in Gisborne, Poverty Bay, New Zealand took a YDNA test. At the same time an Australian male Halbert took the same test. The results of the direct paternal line test have shown us we have a common ancestor.

We are currently upgrading the YDNA results to help us determine who the common paternal ancestor is. Based on the extensive records we have our Thomas should fit into one of the attached families.

We still have a lot to find.

Thanks to another rootschat member (Wolfiesmith) we have another daughter of John Potts Halbert 1768-1826

Isabella Halbert of full age married James Bell of full age on 15 August 1841 in The Parish Church, Sunderland. Both were living in High street. James occupation was gardener and his father was also James Bell

The witnesses were John Decker and George Lord.

Sadly no age is given for Isabella.

I also ordered the death certificate of Joseph Halbert born about 1801-1803 who died in 1838 and his daughter Mary Halbert who died in the same year. These are two previously unknown people. Josephs father was William Halbert who married Sarah (surname unknown).

At this stage I havent found who Joseph married or if he had more kids. Joseph was also a cork cutter. Sarah Lee (nee Halbert) was Josephs sister and the informant at both deaths

This also reopens the mystery of what happened to Joseph Halbert born in 1779 and mentioned in William Halbert Srs will in 1803.

A cousin of mine has been looking for any record of Joseph Halbert 1803-1838 marrying prior to his daughter Mary Halbert being born in 1837 and dying in 1838.

We have her death and Josephs death but not her birth/baptism or Josephs birth/baptism. We cant find Josephs marriage. Perhaps his daughter was registered under her mothers name if illegitimate?

Both Mary and Joseph died in High Bridge, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland, England

Any clues to find Josephs marriage would be appreciated.

Hi
I believe Joseph Halbert Bn 1803 was married to Jane Snowie in Aberdeen in 1829. They had 2 children George and Margaret. Jane remarried after Joseph's death in 1838 and George (a tailer)
moved to Newcastle. I have to assume this is the same Joseph or why would his son move to Newcastle and become a tailer which was the Halbert family business.
