Wearhead family in Weardale, Cherry Tree House
« on: Wednesday 10 November 21 20:43 GMT (UK) »
I  have a question that I have been trying to solve for a few months now, and do not know where to look .
In a family history written by my ancestors in the 1920's from Massillon,  Ohio, USA,  there are two women listed.  They were immigrants from Weardale Durham England. They left Liverpool about 11 May 1884 on a Canadian Steam Navigation Company steam screw ship named Cleopatra. 
Ann Wearmouth,  born 1834 at St John's Chapel near Stanhope, Durham England.  She married my GG grandfather Joseph Hodgson (born 13 Oct 1830)  on April 6, 1850, at Weardale , St John's Chapel, Durham, Eng. 
Also, Mary Wearmouth.  She married Willam Pattinson on March 22, 1845 at Weardale, St John's Chapel, Durham Eng. 
The father is listed as Thomas Wearmouth, on a certified copy of their marriage licenses.  Both list Cherry Tree House as their residences.  They must be sisters, my old family history notes that "the mother, grandmother and aunt swore they would never cross the ocean again" .  The mother and aunt must be Ann and her sister Mary.  I do not who the grandmother would be, but suspect their mother.
My problem is that I can not find records of a Thomas Wearmouth family residing in Weardale, Durham, that have these two sisters living together.  I also found a Richard Wearmouth family with an Ann and Mary, but the birth years were not as I would expect to see.  The marriage licenses show Ann and Mary as Thomas' kids living in Cherry Tree House. 
I would like to be able to list who my GGG grandparents are on the Wearmouth side and be sure I have the correct ones.  Census data for 1851 would not show either Ann or Mary living at home.
, since they were already married.  It does show Joseph and Ann Hodgson, and I found William and Mary Pattinson, with the expected kids.  I just need to find the right Wearmouth parents.
If someone could point me at the right data bases to search, I would be grateful.  I have searched the Ancestry file, I am a paid member, I use the Mormon program Family Search, Wiki Tree, the GENUKI data files, Freereg, Freecen and FreeBMD.  But no answers.  I think the Weardale Museum might have the information, but they have not responded to my query.  They have been busy reopening this year from the covid shutdown, and I think are now closed for the winter.  They did provide me with a large amount of data on my family from the Hodgson gg thru ggggg grandparents a few months ago. 
Thank you       Eugene Hodgson    Virginia USA.

I have a suggestion for 1841 - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MQBF-CNC

Address looks like Barn Foot in Weardale. Cherry Tree House is about three households further down the page

Ancestry has  indexed each family member as an individual household which may be why you haven;t picked them up?

Added: Thomas is a lead miner

I suspect Ann the mother was too old to have emigrated in 1884

when Ann and Mary's brother Richard Wearmouth died in 1903, his address is Cherry Tree House

The ages are interesting though, compared to the order of christenings. Was Jane done as a baby and Ann was skipped and caught up with two younger siblings?

Thomas Jr marries 1850, abode Cherry Tree House.

Ann nee LOWES, m. Thomas WEARMOUTH (Snr) 1820, Weardale
Earliest children on the list not of the same couple, it would seem.

Neither Thomas nor wife Ann appear to be on 1871 - and there's some likely death registrations

WEARMOUTH, ANN
Aged       63 
Q4  1864
WEARDALE  Volume 10A  Page 136


WEARMOUTH, THOMAS        
Aged 72 
Q3 1870
WEARDALE  Volume 10A  Page 178

So:

Name --- Christening Year --- Birth year (41)
Mary --- 1821 (born 1821) --- not present in house
Jonathan --- 1824 --- c1826
John --- 1826 (born 1826) --- 1827
Thomas --- 1828 (born 1828) --- 1829
Richard --- 1831 --- 1831
Ann --- 1842 --- 1834
Jane --- 1836 --- 1836
William --- 1842 --- 1837 --- died 1842 (dob 1837)
Joseph --- 1842 --- 1840
William --- 1844

There's a mildly awkward
Burials   Weardale   1845   Ann   Wearmouth   abt 1831   St.Johns Chapel
but the above age matches the OP Ann and this one is a few years out from what we know so hopefully a diddy red herring.

One burial that may or may not prove interesting:
Burials   Weardale   1847   Elizabeth   Wearmouth   abt 1809   Canada, [North America?]

Edit
Now here's a wee spanner in the works... Tried to look up marriage on the BTs but pages absent. Did find christening for Mary 1821 which has mother down as Jane. The christening came up when I input Ann on DRO but couldn't see the entry there without paying.
