Churchman Family

[Peter78]

Hey All, hope we're good this February weekend?

I'm looking for information regarding my Great Grandparents, Ezra and Emily, and their ancestors. Brief conversations with surviving elders leads to very little in all honesty although I do believe we have both Scottish, and Prussian-German, lineage.

(Marriage date/venue, unknown)

Ezra Churchman
b. 03/05/1912
d. 09/09/1977

Emily Churchman (nee. Marshall)
b. 19/05/1913
d. 01/12/2004

Ezra and Emily had six children, five daughters and one son (four survive) although we now believe there was a seventh, a first-born if you will, born prior to my grandmother, who was born in 1934.

Children of Ezra and Emily, in birth order, are Jean, Lily, Joan, Joyce (deceased), Edward, and Christine (deceased).

Any information/links elsewhere are gratefully received. TIA

On Freebmd it looks like marriage was Sept quarter 1933 in Durham.

Not sure if there might be a relationship to Ezra but their are some Durham 'Churchman' on memorials mentioned on the North East War Memorials Project website.  Actually it is not showing via link so you will need to put in Churchman yourself in search box to see things.

Just tell us if you have any information - saves duplication.

I've got next to nothing tbh other than 'ideas' of names, and that two brothers married two sisters so Ezra and a brother, married Emily and a sister

Looks like the Churchman & Colpitts marriage might have been at the record office.

Could Jack Churchman be the brother marrying Ena Marshall in Middlesbrough Sept quarter 1929?
