Hi!
Can anyone help with the following?
I have a Rowland Lumley who I believe died in 1696 and was buried at Lanchester? Rowland may have married a lady called Anne and had two children what I know of:
Hannah Lumley bapt 1684 Lanchester
Francis Lumley bapt 1687 Lanchester
I have done a lot of research with little results for Rowland, however have recently discovered a couple of family trees on Ancestry which state his parents are a Richard Lumley born 1620 Ryton, and his wife Grace Dodd born 1622 Ryton?
I believe that Richard Lumley and Grace Dodd did have a Thomas 1648, Margaret 1650 and John 1654 born at Ryton Woodside but I cannot find any connection to Rowland?
There are only two other Rowland Lumleys I can find at Lanchester:
A Rowland Lumley was born circa 1717 and buried 1807 at Lanchester (could be a grandson of Rowland?). He married Ann Rippon in 1738 at Lanchester.
The other Rowland Lumley was born circa 1745 at Tanfield and married a Sarah Gladders (born 1755 Tanfield) in 1785 at Lanchester.
There are two references to a Rowland Lumley and George Rippon (brother in law?) from the Earl of Strathmores estate:
12th February 1763 - receipt for £505 12s 6d to Rowland Lumley and George Rippon, Yeoman paid by the Earl of Strathmore.
15th and 16th May 1767 Rowland Lumley of Stanley, Yeoman for lease of property paid £600 to Mary Eleanor Bowes, Countess of Strathmore.
Any help with any of the above very much appreciated!
