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
