Looking for any descendants of Archibald Ramage & Smithson Peverall married 1757 in Chester-le-Street. Archibald was a tobacconist in C-le-St. Their entry in church records reads: "Archibald Ramage, tobacconist, and his wife Smithson of Wakefield" so I don't know if they both came from there of just her. Known children were: Henry b 8th Jan 1769, John b. 1760 and Mary b. 1765. The large gap between marriage date and birth of first known child suggests they weren't from Chester-le-Street at least!
Mary went on to marry William Watson in 1786 in C-le-St and Henry married Isabeela Airey of Kellington, Yorkshire in 1792 in C-le-St. They had 8 children: John 1793, Smithson 1795, Henry 1797, Christpher 1799, Mary 1801, Robert 1804(1881 census-living in Spennymoor) Henry 1806 and Ann 1809.
Henry b. 1806 married Elizabeth Sedgwick in 1830 in Bishopwearmouth. They had 4 known children: Isabella 1831, Elizabeth 1832, Jane 1834 Anne 1836, all born in Conniscliffe, Cleveland. Would love to find descendants of any of the above.
