What is it exactly you want to know about her,
baptised 10th October 1736
daughter of John


there are two wills  for John Buckham.

North East inheritance database
John Buckham,yeoman,of Brenkley in the parish of Ponteland in the county of Northumberland,
date of probate, 24th November 1767

possibly father and son

John Buckham,farmer of East Cold coat in the parish of Ponteland
date of probate,18th of May 1822

[Radcliff]

Edward Buckham is farming at Coldcoats Ponteland in 1828,so possibly inherited,
The Northumberland archives mention records for John ,so this may be a good place to research for clues,

Many thanks for all that news.  If I am right in one later link, Abigail is my 4 x great-grandmother.  I had her marriage with John, who came to the Wigan area in the 18th century with probably two sons [another John & Robert] and a daughter Ann.  I have never been able to find the baptism/births of this trio who gave Earsdon or Hartley as their birthplace, c1770 +/- in census returns.
There was an age difference between Abigail & John, as you imply.
I would be very interested in more about John and the archives.  Where would I be able to get the wills?  I am unlikely to be able to  visit the archives but may be able to get someone to look for me, if I can tell them what to look for!
Thanks again
Ainslie

Strange I cant find their marriage or the birth of their son Robert
who in his brief biography,very clever man, his birth date is given as 21st December 1777
and his wife was Margaret Twizel,daughter Elizabeth born North Shields
So am I correct in thinking his parents came to live in Wigan later in life,

Ainslie,
While I am trying to get back to Abigails marriage,and her childrens baptisms,if you have any details please post them.
I came across this baptism in Earsdon parish records
Elizabeth Daglish,
1 st daughter of Richard Daglish,engine wright and his wife Margaret Twizell,both native of this parish
born June 30th baptised July 9th

Is this just coincidence that two Daglish boys married Twizells or is Robert  Richard
