Wearhead family in Weardale, Cherry Tree House

[Mabel Bagshawe]

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.

Two possible other Anns

baptised March 1830, daughter of Robert & Margaret
baptised Jan 1831, daughter of Richard and Anne

More likely to be the latter - gravestone photo on Ancestry of Ann daughter of Richard and Elizabeth [??] buried Sept 1845 aged 15

Awesome. Since there wasn't a reply a moment ago, I edited my previous post. Now looking up other christenings in BTs.

- Jonathan is son of Anne. DRO does not have any results for any children of Jane, including Mary, so seems the PR might have mother Anne and the BT erroneously has Jane for some reason? Goes to show records can be a nightmare sometimes lol

The 1851 census looks like the correct family.  But there is no Ann or Mary which is to be expected.  Joseph has also left the home it appears

Still trying to make sense out of the data AYASHI.....  Your births and baptisms fit if you consider not all names are part of the same family.  I think Thomas and Ann are my correct grands.... but the difinitive answer is not yet clear.  Maybe the weardale museum data will provide more info.

Thank you Ayashi and all.

Burnfoot and Broken Way are both streets in SJC. Chesters refers to  a pair of houses  in SJC.

Anyone will tell you that Weardale family trees are notoriously difficult. Back in the mid 1800s there were only about 15 surnames in upper Weardale, first son's were usually named after their father, and eldest daughters often given their mother's maiden name as a middle name.  Everyone was related somewhere along the line. My grandparents were Stobbs and Elliott and shared the same great grandparents who were also Stobbs and Elliott.
In addition, women were often still giving birth to  children when they were already  grandparents which often makes it  hard to work out the  generations.

Thank you Suellio
I was convinced the Richard and Elizabeth family  were my ggg grandparents, they had two daughters 2-3 years apart, which seemed to fit.   The birth years were not correct.  Your gravestone shows Ann died at 15.  My Ann married Joseph Hodgson and moved to Quebec and then Ohio USA in 1854.  She had about 14 kids, and died in Ohio about 1905.    Also a 4th cousin of mine living in San Francisco, USA, sent me a marriage document of Ann marrying Joseph Hodgson and Mary marrying William Pattinson.  Also, Mary Wearmouth/Pattinson went with Joseph to Ohio, i found Mary and Ann's gravestones. The father shown for the girls is Thomas Wearmouth living at Cherry tree House. I found  1841 and 1851 census data showing this family living at burnfoot in 1841, then Cherry tree House in 1851.  Then to make it confusing, Mary does not show up in the 1841 census. (She married in 1845)  Ann married about 1850.  Also, Richard and Ann also show up living in Cherry tree house  around that time.  Maybe Richard and Thomas were brothers.... maybe Thomas adopted Mary?   So you are spot on saying things get confusing in Weardale.  I can not find any census data for 1831. Guess there is not any.  I have had no luck with finding birth or baptisms to prove anything either.
Someday i might figure this out.  I might take a vacation and visit the weardale museum, they have a great data base i understand.

Thank you for helping me with this

Rereading the inscription, Richard died in 1845, so that would leave Mary orphaned.... also at cherry tree house. Maybe Thomas moved in there from burnfoot, and signed Mary's marriage license as her father
