Completed Census Requests / Re: Richard Laws - Easington Area of Durham 1901
« on: Thursday 15 March 12 17:24 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you Carole, that ties things up nicely!  I suspected his wife was either Hannah Elizabeth or just Elizabeth, and he's named a son, Isaac, after his father.  I can finally move on with him.

Thanks,
Brenda

Hello Sheila
Do you happen to know who the other children of James Mansfield and Emma Peachey were?  I've only got Jane (1858), Saul (1864) and Watson (1865).

Thanks

Hello Sheila
We do have some of the same people in our trees.  Margaret Palmer and William Parr and direct ancestors of my husband, their dau Ann married Edward Petchey (Peachey).  I don't have a Caroline Palmer yet, but I haven't traced all the Palmer line forward as there are so many of them it becomes a bit complicated and I don't want to end up just guessing!

Don't have the James Butler from Bottisham, but he could be related.  Priscilla Levitt married Henry Mansfield and I have four children from them.  She's the dau of James Livett, my husbands line goes through James' younger brother John.

Regards,
Brenda

Northumberland / Bewick Family of Earsdon
« on: Friday 06 January 12 13:47 GMT (UK)  »
Looking for any info regarding my Bewick line from Earsdon.  I have:

Andrew Bewick (c1720) who chr the following children in Earsdon, wife not named:

Robert 1742 - may have married Jane Ord in 1765 and chr dau Jane in 1766 in Earsdon
Jane 1744 - No info
Mary 1746 - May have married Timothy Duxfield in Earsdon in  1767
Elizabeth - born and died in 1748
Andrew - 1750.  Married Eleanor Cuthbertson in 1770 and had Jane 1770, William 1773, Andrew 1775-1776, Andrew 1778 all in Earsdon, and Eleanor 1780, Thomas 1787 and Isabella 1789 all in Wallsend.

My line goes through Andrew (1750) and his son William (1773).  William married Elizabeth Ainsley at South Shields St Hildas in 1796 and had 8 children christened there between 1797 and 1812.

Particularly looking for information on the early Bewicks, and any info on Eleanor Cuthbertson.  GR has one contact for Eleanor for the right date and location but the lady has not yet replied.  Is there anyone else researching this family?

Thanks in advance

The Cambridge FHS has a searchable database which includes baptisms from 1801 - 1837, and they have the following all to Abraham and Elizabeth:
 
1807 Abraham
1807 Abraham (28 days)
1804 Ann
1811 Elizabeth (21 days)
1809 Martha

Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / Re: Butler Baptism Look Up - St Mary & St Andrew The Great, Cambridge
« on: Monday 07 November 11 17:42 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks BB, I had been using the CFHS index on the 1841 and 1851 census, and I have to put in a surname in order to search, so I wasn't seeing Jemima Ely, but a badly drawn conclusion on my part definitely!

Thanks also for the pointer to Fen Ditton, and yes I have those PR's too!!  Inexcusable, but I assumed that as I'd found the parents in Cambridge in 1841 that their children would have been born there too!!  Don't know where my head was, lol!

Off to look at the PR's again.

Cheers,
Brenda

Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / Butler Baptism Look Up - St Mary & St Andrew The Great, Cambridge
« on: Thursday 03 November 11 22:15 GMT (UK)  »
Hello All
Does anyone have access to the PR's for St Mary the Great and St Andrew the Great.  I have a family of Samuel and Hannah (Benson) Butler, both born in 1780, Samuel in Horningsea and Hannah I think in Great Wilbraham.  They married in Horningsea in 1801 but the PR's for that parish have no children christened to them.  I think I've found them in 1841 in the CFHS index in St Mary the Great parish, there is a possible son, Frederick aged 15.  There are two other Butlers in St Andrew the Great, John 25 and Charles 16.  I would like to know if these young Butlers might also be sons of Samuel and Hannah.

Samuel is back in Horningsea for the 1851 census, Hannah died in January of that year, but no children are with him.  He is still there in 1861 and died there in June of 1861.

Thanks in advance.

I have found Mark in 1861 but no sign of Margaret.



I've just found Margaret (on FreeCen) in 1861, in Belmont, Durham with her son Benjamin and his family.  She is listed as 78 yrs old and a native of Willington, Durham.

Plus the Easington PR's cover 1851, and what appears to be John's burial is there in South Hetton, which is where Margaret and son Mark were in the 1851 census.  He's listed as 67 years old, but his name has morphed from John to Robert, buried March 15th!
