Here are the details I have for the lineage of your families:-
Thomas Harle was born in 1742 (no details of place or occupation). He married Ann Oliver on 22 July 1765 in Ryton, Co Durham, and had 3 children however Ann died on 30 May 1772 in Winlaton, Co Durham. Thomas remarried to a Dorothy Harle on 9 November 1776 at Chester le Street, Co Durham. They had 2 children as far as I can see, including Thomas Harle, born 4 July 1779 in Winlaton. Thomas senior died 30 October 1819 in Chester le Street. I cannot trace a burial record for Dorothy.
Thomas Harle, born 4 July 1779, was a nailer by occupation. He married Sarah Ibbotson (born Leeds in c1779) at Chester le Street on 4 March 1799. They had 6 children, including Henry Harle on 22 August 1813 (at Chester le Street). Henry was the youngest child. Thomas died 12 July 1852 at Chester le Street, Sarah on 7 July 1843 also at Chester le Street.
Henry Harle, born 22 August 1813, married Isabella Dunn (born c1808 in Chester le St), on 14 February 1831 in Chester le Street. They had three children of whom Jane Sarah, born 1837 in Chester le St, was the middle child. Henry died in 1894 at Tow Law and Isabella the previous year, also at Tow Law.
We've covered part of Jane's history but to recap, she married Robert Norwood in 1857 and had 5 children from that marriage of whom 3 we believe were called Robert. We don't yet know what happened to Robert but Jane married George Reed (born c1834 in Morpeth, Northumberland) in 1874 in Newcastle upon Tyne and had a son, Henry Harle Reed, born 1874 in Durham. George died in Durham in 1892 and Jane in Co Durham in 1922.
Henry Harle Reed married Mary Jane Bellis (born c1876 in Broomside, Co Durham) in 1895 in Durham. They had 5 children including John Thomas Reed in 1896 in Durham (he was the eldest). John Thomas Reed married Margaret Grieveson in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1920.
Chris, I think you know the rest from there. By the way, did you know that there is a record of a marriage in Sunderland in 1916 between George H (presumably Harle) Reed and Ellan Grieveson. Seems like a coincidence (Elaine, was this your grandfather?).
