Many thanks Jennifer. I didn't know you could access the BT this way. All I need now is a new pair of glasses!

Northumberland / ALLON of Newcastle
« on: Saturday 23 October 10 12:15 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
Can anybody help?
I'm trying to track down Mary Ann ALLON b about 1794 Newcastle upon Tyne (according to 1851 census).
According to George Bell she married James HYMERS at St John's Newcastle on 31 Aug 1816 but I haven't been able to find details of this marriage record anywhere online.
Thanks
Tim

Northumberland / Re: Stokoe Of Northumberland
« on: Saturday 23 October 10 12:02 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
Not sure if they're connected to your STOKOEs but these are the Northumberland STOKOEs that I've got:

James STOKOE (b about 1810 Simonburn) married Elizabeth ? (b about 1805 Warden)
and their son Robert STOKOE (bap 17 May 1835 Warden) married Elizabeth FERGUSON (bap 28 Apr 1833 Gateshead)
I then follow the family through to Durham where they connect in to my HALL family.

I'm currently at Harriet Brooks (b 1 Jan 1801, bap 28 Jun 1801, d 1 Apr 1878)

SMITH of Norton Bavant
I'm currently at Margaretta Anne Smith (b abt 1835, d 24 Feb 1899)

TAYLER of Keevil
I'm currently at James Tayler (b bet 1813 and 1817, m 1849, d Sep 1874)

HITCHCOCK of Stanton St Bernard
I'm currently at Caroline Hitchcock (b 1818)


Any information would be appreciated
Thanks

Mary,
I assume you're talking about St Petroc's in Bodmin? I didn't see the obelisk, but maybe I was too busy looking for headstones - most of which were leaning against the wall at the side of the graveyard.
Send me a message telling me which of the inscriptions you'd like a copy of.

My wife's family come down the Charles Liddell (1846 to 1901) line. He married Emma Jane Anderson BLUETT at Lahore in 1871. I've got some info about that line, but not sure how to get more details of events that took place in India.

Hi,
My wife is descended from the James Liddell//Mary Martyn line.

We've just been down to St Columb and Bodmin with the Oz/NZ 2nd cousins who are from the same line.

I made a note of some Liddell headstones and plaques in St Petroc's, Bodmin. I don't think they've been recorded on this thread, but if they have my apologies.


William Liddell Tonkin wall plaque
REMEMBER BEFORE GOD
WILLIAM LIDDELL TONKIN
1875 – 1934
cross bearer in this church for 40 years
his dearly loved wife
LISSIE AMELIA TONKIN
1879 – 1927
and his son’s beloved wife
HILDA MAY TONKIN
1899 - 1967


James Liddell wall plaque
To the memory of
James Liddell
First Lieutenant of Royal Engineers
(and eldest son of Lieut Liddell RN of this town).
who was lost with nearly all his company of sappers
on Prince Edward Island in the South Seas
June 19th 1849, aged 20
This highly gifted youth, regardless of self
amidst the awful wreck, closed his brief and most
promising career in a noble effort to save
a perishing lady.


I've taken pictures of these plaques, the inside and outside of the church and of Liddells house next door. They are too large to attach so if you'd like a copy, drop me a line.

I'm going to drop Denis a note with details of my wife's line so that it can be added to the Liddell/Martyn web pages - once it's verified!

Apologies if you've already seen them and again, if you'd like a copy, drop me a note.

Just about to add some similar posts to the Liddell thread.
