Title: Richard Oliver 1747, High Green, Poll book entry.
Post by: davidft on Monday 19 February 18 08:49 GMT (UK)
There is an entry in the 1747 poll book for a Richard Oliver at High Green. Please see attachments.

What I would like to know is how to find out more about this person. I am trying to establish if he is the same person as

Richard Oliver who married Mary Hedley 31 Oct 1741 at Chollerton and had children
Dorothy 1743, Birtley.
John 1746, High Green.
Andrew 1748, High Green.

What I do not know is
When Richard was born or where
When Richard died or where
If he had any more children
What his occupation was
There is no will for him on the NEI site (although if he lived in one of the Northumberland peculiars at the time of death any such will could be filed in a different jusisdiction).

Thank you
