Thanks, Boo. I had searched the usual places and drawn a blank. I cannot get to DRO, so your advice could come in very handy. Thank you!

Durham / William Lewthwaite of Gateshead
« on: Wednesday 01 May 19 07:38 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have easy access to the registers for St Mary Gateshead? I am searching for the burial of William Lewthwaite between 16 January 1714/15 when he signed his will and 7 February 1714/15 when a bond was drawn up to ensure the will was correctly executed.
At the same time, I also need the burial of his first wife, Mary Lewthwaite, between July 1697 and December 1700 and the burial of his second wife, Katherine Lewthwaite, between July 1701 and January 1714/15. However, I appreciate that these last two could be a big ask depending upon how many burials took place each year, so will understand if these are not possible.
Any help would be much appreciated!

London and Middlesex / Re: John Fleetwood and Mary Mucklow, married 3rd of December 1742

As I see it, the only way John bap 1729 could be the one who married in 1742 is if his was a late baptism, for whatever reason.
It would be a help if we could find an apprenticeship record, but at this period father/son indentures were becoming increasingly unlikely and I have drawn a blank with the online records.
Quite a puzzle!

Your finds are most interesting! I agree that the 1692 marriage of William Flethed and Elizabeth Roberts is a good fit for the parents of John bap. 1700. Similarly the 1725 marriage of John Fleetwood (yes, i agree it is John) and Mary Symson fits nicely with the baptism of John in 1729. I think both are unlikely to be the John Fleetwood you are looking for the reasons outlined previously, but I would be happy to be proved wrong!
These weavers could be related, you never know!
The 1763 and 1788 burials are connected with the glass sellers. So far I have no further information about John Cook Fleetwood.
I can confirm that the transcription on FindMyPast for the 1719 marriage for John Muggall is correct. He was a baker from Ratc[liffe] and was probably the John Muckle you have found. The original record in the parish register for the baptism of Mary in 1721/2 does not include the mother's name. Perhaps she was not well enough to attend the ceremony.

The William Fleetwood, who married Elizabeth Barrett 21 March 1688/9 at Holy Trinity Minories, Stepney was a member of the Aldwinkle line, trained in the Middle Temple. William was not a carpenter!

John Fleetwood bap. 4 December 1707 St Anne & St Agnes, London, was buried at the same church 13 August 1710. A search between 1700-1720 found no further Fleetwood baptisms or burials.

It is a common misconception! I thought you might like to have the facts at your fingertips, so to speak.

Charles Fleetwood married Bridget Ireton née Cromwell. They had 5 children. 2 boys survived childhood to marry. Cromwell Fleetwood (1653-1688) married Elizabeth Nevill and died without issue. Smith Fleetwood (1644-1709) married (1) Mary Hartopp (2) Anne Lechemere and had 11 children. Only one of Smith's sons married and had issue. Smith Fleetwood (c1674-1726) married Elizabeth Athill and they had one daughter, Elizabeth (c1711-1732). This means that no-one with the surname 'Fleetwood' has descended from Oliver Cromwell!

Yes, apparently a large proportion of the English can trace their ancestry back to Edward I!
Back to your Fleetwood ancestry:
John Fleetwood bap. 2 May 1706 Charterhouse Chapel, Finsbury, also recorded in St Botolph Without Aldgate register, spent a lot of time in Italy, inherited Tadworth Court in 1725 and lived there until he died in 1752. He was buried Banstead, Surrey, 27 February 1752 - not a weaver!
John Fleetwood bap. 4 January 1700/1701 St Andrew, Holborn - his father, William, was a carpenter, so I doubt that John would have been a weaver.
John Fleetwood bap. 4 December 1707 St Anne & St Agnes, London, son of Robert and Mary is a mystery as I have no further information about him or his parents. One to chase up!
Good luck!
