Hi Folks, I have been following the Wind Trees in Durham County, yDNA is not sooo helpful yet other than to show that my Wind tree does not seem related to southern England Welsh families. It has a typically NE England "danish" root. So, I think there is more than one common ancestor to the Winds in Durham county. As a result, I am looking at all the downstream male lines to see current relationships. I have two baptisms for a Henry Wind. One 1804, Urpeth/Lamesley Chester Le Street parents John and Margaret Teasdale. The other Gateshead, B1802 baptised 1805 parents Henry and Isabella, Gateshead.
Now, for marriages, I have a Henry married to a Elizabeth Sprig, 1827. Elizabeth seems to be an illegitimate dau of Priscilla Sprig of Tanfield but that does not "seem" to gel with census stating Walbottle as a birthplace.
The 1851, 61 census has a Henry Wind married to a Catherine E apparently born Walbottle (Newcastle). Also on the marriage, Henry is a clerk but most other places, the Henry married to "Elizabth" is a coalminer. He also has a name variation of Winn and Wynne on census records.
My confusion & questions are :
1 What happened to Henry of Urpeth?
2 Is Catherine and Elizabeth the same person?
3 is there a "conflation" of Henries?
Thanks for any insights into the "Henry's" and wive/wives.
