Hi,
Hoping someone can help me.
In my tree I have my gt.gt. grandfather Robert Renwick born Myre, Bewcastle, Cumberland 1816 and my gt.gt. grandmother Elizabeth Byer(s) b.Cockermout abt.1819. The surname Byer(s) I got from a copy of my. gt.grandfather's birth cert. I can find no marriage for them.
I have them in census 1851 - H0107/2406: census 1861 - RG9/3815 with probable death for Robert abt.1866. 1871 - H0107/824 with Elizabeth widow and children Margaret and William.
Robert and Elizabeth had children George 1843; Margaret 1844;Elizabeth 1845; Robert Craig 1851 and William (my gt.grandfather) 1858.
Margaret, Elizabeth and Robert Craig were all baptised 17th July 1851 St. Mary's Cathedral, but can find no baptism for George and William.Elizabeth died 1860 and Robert Craig 1852 and was buried at St. John's.
I wondered about the middle name of CRAIG for Robert.
Recently I have found a birth and baptism for Mary Renwick in 1840 with parents Robert Renwick and Elizabeth. Mary was baptised All Saints 11th October 1840 and in 1841 Census all three are there: H0107/824 Civil Parish St.John, but Robert and Elizabeth are given as born in county.
in 1851 Census H0107/2433 I have Mary living Allonby, West Newton, Cumberland with grandparents John and Elizabeth CRAIG as in 1861 Census RG9/3929.
I was hoping to establish a link between Mary and Robert and Elizabeth, but given the surname Byers I am not sure.
Has anyone any ideas?
Many thanks and hope this is not too confusing.
Patricia
