Thanks all. I think you are probably right that this is the wrong marriage.

My hunt continues -- I now have a possible marriage for Edward to Elizabeth PARSONS in Great Glen, Leicestershire. Their son Joseph reports his birthplace as "Glenn" in the 1851 census, and there does seem to be a baptism of a Joseph in Kibworth Beauchamp (near Glen) in 1796.

I am currently awaiting the delivery of an item from the Northamptonshire Archives for a removal order for Elizabeth Thomason, 1798, Kibworth to Brington. Hopefully this provides some clues about the family's movements. There are many Marriott families in Brington, so it's still possible that Elizabeth belongs to them, but it remains to be seen.

Any further ideas are appreciated!

Hi all,

I am looking for the marriage of Edward Thompson and Elizabeth Marriott. According to the Pallot's Marriage Index, they were married 22 July 1794 in Upton. I have tried looking for the parish register entry, but cannot seem to locate anything. Is anyone able to assist?

Edward and Elizabeth baptised children in Brington, 1801-1816, so I'm unsure where they would have been between the marriage and this time...

Cheers,
Sarah

Hi all,

I am chasing my NELSON family in Northumberland, specifically Thomas Connell NELSON who was born 24 Feb 1860 in Felton. His parents were John & Bridget. I have just discovered a potential Anglican baptism for him in Felton (previously I only knew about a Catholic baptism in North Shields, 3 Nov 1861, presumably shortly before his death). I tried to get an image copy from FamilySearch, but they apparently don't allow copies for these particular films. The Felton baptism apparently took place on 11 Mar 1860.

The main issue is with Thomas' parents, they are very hard to track and were fairly infamous characters. I thought finding them in the 1861 census would be easy given baby Thomas, but I've not found anything.

If anyone can assist me with the 1860 baptism (and why he was baptised a second time?), 1861 census or any other info on Thomas and/or his parents, that would be great!

Cheers,
Sarah

Hmm I suppose that could be Bridget with her possible father Robert, but it says they were both born Scotland? Bridget at least is definitely from Northumberland... Earsdon is also some distance away from Newcastle where Bridget was baptised, and Tynemouth/North Shields where she is later living... but not impossible, I suppose. Then what happened to mother Elizabeth? And possible siblings?

Just found a possible 1851 census entry for a Bridget MACKUN(?) born Gateshead abt 1831, fruiterer, living in MITCALF(?) household:

Bridget Mackun age 20 lodger b Gateshead, Durham
HO107/2409/360 p 5
other household members Thomas Mitcalf, Mary Mitcalf, Mary A Mitcalf, Robert Mitcalf, Bridget Mackun
