Churchman Family

[River Tyne Lass]

Blanche Cree Colpitts born in 1875 in Newcastle upon Tyne no Mother's maiden name so likely illegitimate.

As there is a Newcastle connection you may have some Colpitts ancestors recorded on this site.

German connection always interests me; can't believe there's a 'smoggie' (Middlesbrough) connection though lol....

Anything on Emily, Ezra's wife, she survived him by near three decades, cancer eventually took her in 2004 - fantastic matriarch if ever there was one

FS has an  index entry but it doesn't give any other details than the parents names, the film number is for Methodist baptisms in Durham Circuit

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:CJP1-2Q6Z

If you search the catalogue using the film no 1804141, specify a surname of Marshall, father Edward, mother Jane then you should find more of the children named in the census.

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 got round to looking at more on this - yes, JH Churchman was my Great Grandfather's brother, and the memorial is the entrance to the church where the family are laid to rest, including my kid brother....
