Tamar Grieves

[beaglelady]

Hello folks

Been a while since I did any genealogy but I'm back at it. 

I have a Tamar Grieves b 1808 Middleton in Teesdale.  She married Martin Bell b. 1806 Barnard Castle.  Marriage date 7 May 1834 St Marys, Barnard Castle.

Tamar had an illigitimate dau Mary Grieves b.1830 Durham.

I amtrying to find Tamar Grieves family but keep hitting a brick wall.  I know the Bell's lived in Romaldkirk/Barnard Castle area. 

I have found a Tamar Coatesworth b.1808 in Stanley plus all her relatives.  The name Tamer was handed down the generations.  Ive no proof this Tamar is mine though.  Although I found her family around Middleton in Teesdale area also.

Any help would be most appreciated.  Thank you.

I can find only one Tamar Grieves/Greeves baptised in Middleton in Teesdale and that was 26 October 1817, the daughter of John and Esther. However just because she was baptised 1817 that does not mean that it was also her year of birth.

Only one I can see.

Tamer GRIEVES, bapt   26 Oct 1817, St Mary the Virgin, Middleton in Teesdale, Durham
Parents JOHN/ESTHER
Father a Miner


But her Parents married 07 Dec 1816 so looks like not her.

I was hoping a possible late bapt

I used FreeReg and Durham Records on Line.

Tamer is shown in every census with husband Martin Bell up to 1861 (her name was mis-spelt as James) she is then on 1871 census with her daughter,husband and family the Thompsons and was on 1881 census.  Altho i have found a death in 1881 for her.  1871 census she was called Tanner Bell. Im just not certain she was actually a 'Grieves' as when i found Tamar Coatsworth some names and places seemed to fit into place.  I just need proof.
