Title: 1737 21st November Elizabeth Maleham married Ralph Surtees at Ravenfield
Post by: kay727 on Tuesday 10 December 13 13:37 GMT (UK)

I am trying to find parental background of a Ralph surtees who was born in 1751 but married in Carlisle 1773. I found a marriage in 1737,  21st November Elizabeth Maleham married Ralph Surtees at  Ravenfield. The family flits back to Rotherham in 1841,so I wondered if this is where they were prior to Carlisle as I cant find a ralph surtees in this area born in 1751. Has anyone come across this marriage and their issue while researching their tree by any chance?

Hi --- according to Family Search -- there was a Ralph Surtees baptised in 1752 in Bishop Wearmouth, County Durham -- father William.

Most of the records for the Surtees name, irrespective of year, seem to be in the North East actually.
