St John PRs 1728 Newton

[ladybird]

Please does anyone have access to the St John, Newcastle upon Tyne PRs or could point me in the right direction to look myself. I cancelled my ancestry sub as the amount of use couldn't justify expense on a pension :-)

I would like to see the actual image if possible of this marriage as I am not convinced that Robley is the correct name for the bride....mis-transcription?

This from Fam Search.....
Name    Robt Newton     
 Spouse's Name     Mary Robley   
 Event Date     10 Aug 1728   
 Event Place     Saint John,Newcastle Upon Tyne,Northumberland,England 

Many thanks Sylvia

You might be interested to know that a lot of the Bishop Transcripts for Northumberland are available to view for free- type in "Durham Bishop Transcripts FamilySearch" into Google and you should find the collection there. They don't have all of the years one might want and unfortunately the ones for St John start in 1748 but it is still useful to know for other areas of the tree especially where one is trying to keep money spent to a minimum.

FindMyPast transcriptions have the surname as ROBLEY and ROBLY. No images attached.

If you have an LDS Family History Centre near you, you would be able to look at the images you want via their pcs.

I may be at one next week, if you can't get to a FHC I'll look then.

If you do have an FHC within reach though I can highly recommend them, especially if you are researching from the other side of the world. There is no charge to use their facilities and the amount of info they hold (not all yet digitised) is mind blowing

Thanks Ayashi and Boo
Unfortunately all my research has to be done online as there is nothing/ nowhere near me.
Boo, if you could have a quick look that would be wonderful. The name I think it may be is Rickerby or various spellings. It would clear a long held brickwall for me if I'm correct.

I am hoping to go tomorrow, fingers crossed I can get the record.

Thank you

Hi ladybird

Sorry, but the image does say Robley and its fairly clear:-(

I was hoping that perhaps they had married by Licence so there may be another source to check, but unfortunately not.

It doesn't necessarily mean that it is the wrong marriage, however. Just that she may have been using another surname at the time of marriage to the surname you believe she might have. Unfortunately, given the time period, you might not be able to prove it. I would look to wills here and hope you can find a ROBLEY will that leaves something to "my daughter Mary, wife of Robert NEWTON" or something similar, if you are lucky.

What surname for the bride are you looking for and how was that suspicion reached?

[ladybird]

Thank you for taking the time Boo, at least that's cleared my mind of wondering :-(
Ayashi, this is a little hard to explain but ...
Robert and Mary had a son William born 1730 St Andrew, Newcastle
William married Dorothy Bell 1763 St Mary, Gateshead. Their 5th child was John born May 1769, St Andrew. William was a well known Architect, so "of good family' so to speak :-)

I have my 3rd g/grandfather John Newton born about 1769 He was a Wool/Linen Draper (also "of good family?) and married Christian Greaves at St Johns in 1793. One of the witnesses to the marriage was a Latus Rickerby.
I thought if I could find a family connection with the name Rickerby then I could definately join these two families.
Ideally what I would have loved would be to find a document that said ...'William Newton, Architect to my son John Newton, Linen Draper'...not to be unfortunately.

Thank you for your help, Sylvia
