Ann Holidiay of Lipwood

[newkiephil]

Could I ask or some help please, (I've asked before in requests)

In a will left by Ann Holiday dated 1801, she named her brother Amos Charlton and her main beneficiary is her grandaughter Ann Robson

Ann appears to be of Lipwood, Haydon Bridge and Amos is of Wardrew which is in Cumberland -near Gilsland - whilst one Thomas Coates of Lipwood holds money for her funeral.

Would apprecate any help or assistance in tracking down anyone with a connection or explanation as to who ANN is, many thanks

Ann Charlton married Thomas Holiday ,Warden ,
16 th of May 1756


probably not the correct man ,but there is a Thomas Coates marrying an Mary Robson,
Warden ,5 th of November 1759,

Thanks Radcliff

I too think it was Thomas Holiday she married and he died 1789 recorded in Warden registers (which include Haydon) as it is the only one I found that fits

But I can't any record of her burial/death and hoped it might hit a note with a Charlton or a Robson researcher

[Radcliff]

Robson and Charlton there are so many of them ,even I have some in the same area as you ,but making a connection to any of them is going to take time,to get the correct one,I to haven't found Ann Hollidays burial and wondered where she is buried ,

how many of Thomas and Ann's children have you found if you have any other details I will willingly sit and trawl through the bishops transcripts ,to see if I can pick up any further clues,Ann Robson the granddaughter do you have a age or area she was living when the will was written,

[Radcliff]

Thomas Holiday  alias Thomas Holliday,born Chester street Durham,served in the isle of man fencibles/manx fencibles ,discharged Royal hospital Kilmainham hospital 1797
he may be worth looking at to see if he is Anns son
this is available from the National archives

Hi Radcliff - thank you very much for your kind offer.

I have looked at Warden / Haydon and Chollerton twice.  But find no record of her burial, so am baffled as to where to go next.  Durham Transcript 'search' gave no help, but I did find previously death of who I believe was Husband -  Thomas

Thomas Holliday m. Ann Charlton at Warden 16 May 1756 he died 1789 buried St Cuthbert, Haydon Bridge

I have surmised from the will + the invoice which was with it, that she died between 1801-04 as probate date seems to be 1804 and the bill not paid till 1806.

The only contender I found at Durham Trans, was Ann (dughter of Matthew) bap. 4 April 1734
at Simonburn.

My tree is stuffed full of Robson's but barely an Ann in sight, and the will gives neither indication of location or age, which prompted me to ask for help.

I've pasted in below the transcript and original will

Was hoping it might trigger something I've missed - regards Phil

Duly examined and compared with the original will this thirty first day of May 1804 before me Hugh Nanney  A Commissioner

Together with the will was the invoice for the account from the Solicitor – Robert Mounsey - demanding payment dated 27 January 1806 and also the receipt for the thirteen pounds 11shillings and tenpence dated 1st February 1806 – the outside of which seems to be addressed to Thomas Coates, and re-addressed to Jo Junior Smith of Colwell.
