Birth

[Jennarembailey]

I am trying to find the birth of an ancestor
His name is George Leaton, (a gentleman, a mason and wealthy merchant based in Newcastle upon Tyne)
It was stated on his marriage Banns that he was a bachelor, aged above 40 yrs, when he married in
Newcastle, all saints 07.06.1744 Elizabeth Coulter
“a widow.”
His only surviving child Elizabeth is my 7th great grandmother.
I have searched all local records but only get 2 Births back to 1666, 1674
and an unnamed child1698, father John Blenkinsop, Haltwhistle.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated
Regards Jenny

Do you mean George Blenkinsop or Leaton?

There was a George Blenkinship, of Shields, baptised in Tynemouth on 1st December 1702, son of George.

A George Blinkinshop/Blinkinsop married Elizabeth Sharon/Shasen on 10th January 1696 in Tynemouth.

Dear BCD
Thank you for your reply.
It is George Blenkinsop
I searched baptisms in Co Durham, Northumberland etc
Sorry I have so many Leatons and Blenkinsop's they are a veritable minefield of searches.

George and his daughter Elizabeth is on the lineage of the Blenkinsop’s of Blenkinsop castle.
A different branch!
He definitely married Elizabeth Coulter 1744 in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Their daughter Elizabeth was the only surviving child of 6 children.
