Durham / Re: End of line for TURNBULL in Durham?
« on: Friday 09 September 11 05:47 BST (UK)  »
Hello again,

Back to my original predicament, – too many Turnbulls.

Chester le Street and Houghton le Spring are Parishes next to each other on the map.  I have a good copy of one if you'd like me to send it to you? The Turnbull family seem to have been living in'around both locations. I assume it was to do with where they found work as miners? I think they (HLS and CLS) are Parishes, within the county of Durham?

Have you ever heard of Whelplitch, Chester le Street?  I can't seem to find it anywhere.  Of course many of these places have since disappeared due to mining activities etc.

Cheers,

Hello again,
Just wondering if you have this one? We seem to think that this George and Ann may be a better fit in regard to birth year for Thomas ie. 1781.

George Turnbull b. C1751 d. 20 Jan 1810 Wilson's Row,
Houghton LS buried 22 Jan 1810 HLS.
Married Ann Morrison 24 Jul 1779 HLS.

Apparently there is also a burial for Mary Turnbull 13 Jul 1772 Chester LS residing Birtley.

Cheers,


Hello
I have several hundred Turnbull, including
George who married Ann
Children were
Thomas b 1781 chr 2 Sep 1781 Chester le Street
George b 1789 chr 4 Oct 1789 Chester le Street
Mary b 1784 chr 14 Mar 1784 Chester le St. P000581



George who married Ann Sanders on 17 Oct 1758
at Chester le Street  M000681


George who married Ann Henderson on 18 Nov 1764 at Hexham

Thanks Esdel,

Funny, I do have a Zachariah in another branch of the family.

Yes Turnbull, Cook etc, common as Smith, Brown and Jones at this point in history. Still, the name Turnbull has come down through the Cook family until relatively recently (well, late last century).  There was obviously some reference which made them keep it?

I'll certainly keep you in the loop. The COOKs were all miners, as were I suspect the Turnbulls. We were quite lucky with the Cooks, there are generations of them all baptised/buried at St Michaels HLS, so it was very easy to track them.  I managed to trace many using the IGI Pilot Search Durham Bishop's Transcripts, which I have since realised has been taken down from the web.  It was a fantastic resource, original scans of the transcripts all freely available.

Cheers, and thankyou again for these new names, very exciting.

Hi Esdel,

Thankyou, this is most interesting. Whoever would have thought someone could make sense of all these Turnbulls? That must have taken an enormous amount of time!

OK, well, I think I can lay claim to Thomas b. 1781 chr. 2 Sep 1781 CLS. Thomas had at least one Daughter – Mary Ann Turnbull.

Mary Ann Turnbull b. circa 1811 Birtley, Durham County UK, d. March 1885 Sandhurst, Victoria Australia. bur. Bendigo cemetery 28 March 1885. 
She married Jonathan COOK, April 16 1831, Ref: Penshaw Register.
Jonathan COOK was born circa 1810–13 New Lambton, (near Houghton Le Spring) Durham County d. 8 December 1875 Sandhurst VIC Australia, bur. 10 December, Bendigo Cemetery. Father Jonathan COOK.

Interesting that there are other siblings of Thomas Turnbull ie. Mary b. 1784; and  George b 1789.

Possibly George who married Anne Henderson are the parents, based on the dates for marriage ie. 1764, as the other one (Ann Sanders) is earlier again. So frustrating not to know for sure.

Forgive my ignorance, are these details from IGI?

Cheers,

Hi Faith,

Thanks so much for your post re: William Anderson. I haven't been able to find any other information to date. I was hoping the passenger list may had had some more extensive information, like occupation, district he lived in the UK etc.

Thanks for following this up from such a long time ago.

Regards
