Richard Blackstock of Allhallows
« on: Saturday 23 November 13 14:58 GMT (UK) »
Hi!
    Can anyone help with the following?

I have a Richard Blackstock I believe born in Scotland (possibly Dalton, Dumfries) around 1731 to 1740.
Richard died in 1822 at Caldbeck, Cumberland (the burial record states age 91 years of age so this would give him a birth or around 1731?).

Richard married at Flimby, Cumberland on 18 May 1772 a Betty Lindel. The records state Richard aged 39 and Betty aged 30. I believe they had one child Sarah Blackstock born 1773 (though I cannot find a baptism as yet). Sarah Blackstock married at Beaumont Cumberland in 1795 a Thomas Lawson and had issue. In Richard Blackstocks will she is mentioned.

Richard Blackstock then married on 2 September 1778 at Allhallows Cumberland, Sarah Graham and had issue:

John Blackstock 3 Sep 1780 Allhallows
Richard Blackstock 7 Sep 1782 Allhallows
Mary Blackstock 25 Mar 1785 Allhallows

The only reference I can find for Elizabeth Graham is a one baptised at Allhallows on June 27th 1753, daughter of a Richard Graham. Elizabeth Blackstock (nee Graham) was buried on 25 August 1847 at Caldbeck aged 95 years of age.

If anyone can help with any of the above much appreciated!! :)
