Hexham - The Barron Family - Roman Catholic (part 1)

Well done Patrick for your suggestion and to Jon for taking it up and amazingly quickly finding out the 'truth' which for all those years had been tucked away for future generations to discover or not.

Hello all, fascinating thread here. I’m a descendant of Thomas Forster (1729-1804) and Ann Bell (1741-1815) via their daughter Ann Forster who married Leonard Armstrong. I’d be interested to be signposted to any links regarding them and their ancestors - there was reference to another thread?

Thanks!
Christian

Hello! My name is Emily Barron and I believe you are talking about my ancestors in this thread. My dad Christopher Barron is from Corbridge and his father’s side were Catholic and from Stamfordham. So interesting to read all this and would be so cool to meet some long lost relatives through this post! I’m 28 years old and don’t really know much about my Barron side of the family and neither does my Dad! If I could try and confirm this being my family further it would be great! Thank you! Also, the picture of David Barron who stole champagne looks very similar to my Dad and my Dad said he has the Barron forehead my Dad has and his Dad had! All the best, Emily Barron

Hello Emily - That's great. Why don't you begin by telling us the earliest person that you go back to and then we can link you in?

Best Wishes

The furthest I can go back is Francis Robert Barron who married an Anne. They’re my great grandparents, if I remember rightly he built his house in Stamfordham. He was a beekeeper. They had 3 children, Anthony, Peter and Paul.
Thank you,
Emily
