Thomas Havelock 1763-1845
« on: Wednesday 02 November 16 08:54 GMT (UK) »
I will post this enquiry on this board and also Yorkshire. I am looking for the father of Thomas Havelock born Guisborough 20th April 1763.  That is if I am able to establish if I have the correct Thomas Havelock who married Sarah Brown (b1766)  in Sunderland on the 5th Nov in 1787.
Thomas Havelock and a Sarah had as far as I can tell three daughters and a son all born in Sunderland, Durham.
Sarah Havelock b 1790
Marie Havelock b 1792
Margaret (Peggy) Havelock b1794 d1875
Thomas Havelock b1799 d 1850
Margaret (Peggy) Havelock married William Potts. She was referred to in write ups on Sunderland as Peggy Potts with a history of smuggling. It is also written that she was second cousin to Sir General Henry Havelock. 
However unless I can confirm that I have the correct Thomas Havelock and his father I cannot move on with this line and I am struggling.  I wonder if anyone on her has this information on their tree please?  I have searched and searched without finding confirmation.  Any help would be appreciated please.

Hello Patrizia,

Two other threads here at RootsChat have information on Havelocks from Guisborough and Sunderland. Have you already had a read through them?  You might pick up some peripheral information about your lot. Even negative information can be useful as it may allow you to weed out some potential leads.

Here are the links:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=194825.msg4874450#msg4874450

The second one is a very long thread, so here are the specific message numbers regarding Havelock:
#168
#193 - #196 inclusive
#198
#199

Cheers,
Westoe
