Thomas Humble (1766? - 1843)
« on: Wednesday 17 March 21 12:35 GMT (UK) »
Thomas Humble was my 4th great-grandfather.
I would like to know where and when he was born, and who his parents were.
I have documentary evidence (parish records, census, death certificate) that cover the major stations of his life.

Birth: Abt. 1766 in Heddon-on-the-Wall, Northumberland, England

Marriage to Margaret Soloman (Salmon?) 13 May 1800 in Heddon-on-the-Wall, Northumberland, England
Children: John Humble
Robert Humble
Margaret Humble
Jane Humble
Thomas Humble
Ann Humble
Isabell Humble

Occupation: 1806 in Halton, Northumberland, England; Miller (Parish baptism register entry for son Robert)
Occupation: 1812 in Halton, Northumberland, England; Miller (Parish baptism register entry for daughter Jane)
Occupation: 1822 in Halton, Northumberland, England; Miller (Parish baptism register entry for daughter Isabell)
Census: 1841 in Workhouse of the Castle Ward Union, Heddon-on-the-Wall
Death: 10 Jun 1843 in Union Workhouse, Ponteland, Northumberland, England.
Death certificate for 1843 gives age as 77 years, computed year of birth 1766.

I suspect that his parents may have been Ralph Humble and Ann Bishopprick, but I have no hard original documentary evidence to support that.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks. Comberton, for the pointer. I'll trawl through Bishop's Transcripts to locate parish register entry. The Ralph and Ann were highly suspect as they both hailed from the north of County Durham, and mobility was very limited for poor folks in the 18th century.

Just an update on what I have found.

Thomas Humble's parents were Thomas Humble and Hannah Wigham.
I have found out nothing about Thomas Humble senior, except that he married Hannah Wigham on 11 May 1756 at St Michael and All Angels, Warden, Northumberland.

I know a little more about Hannah.
She was born about 1728.
Durham Records Online informs thus:
Burials, Castle Ward District - Record Number: 1532579.2
Location: Heddon-on-the-Wall, Northumberland
Church: St. Andrew
Denomination: Anglican
30 May 1809 Hannah Humble, of St John's, Newcastle, age: 81, died 28 May, widow of Thomas Humble
