Hello,
I have been busy with other stuff (eg pulling pond weed out of our lock down pond. Deep joy!) but have now managed to glance at some Teesdale BTs. So first up Gainford. Their register records the baptism of John Todd (no Southern as a second name) son of Thomas and Elizabeth on October 18th 1820, Thomas being a farmer at Langton (image 250).
Then the Denton/Gainford register. On August 12th 1853 it records the burial of John Todd of Killerby, lately returned from London.
Then from the Ingleton register for November 23rd 1859:- burial of John Southern Todd aged 69.
I'm afraid I didn't record the image numbers for either of the burials, but they are in much shorter registers.
I started looking up pther information about the on census records etc but decided that way lay madness (so many John Todds!) and left them for another day.
Thanks for the offer of the wills. I will look to see if any of them are useful. Mag
