Two Isabella's, remarriage or Coincidence
« on: Tuesday 24 October 23 15:31 BST (UK) »
Hi Folks. I am on the hunt for a connection between my "Wind" and Norwood family lines in County Durham, England.  I have come across a marriage that to me at least raises a red flag.
On my tree, I have a Henry Wind/Wynd born about 8 Apr 1770, in Lamesley, Durham, Eng
who I have as husband of Isabell (Hutchinson) Wynd, married 5 Dec 1793 in Gateshead, Durham, Eng. Now, I have just found an Isabella Hutchinson Isabella Hutchinson, Marriage Date    10 Aug 1793, place Stanhope, Durham, England, Spouse Robert Norwood

The reason I am interested in and question this coincidence is that Norwoods in the UK and USA  and I share the same yDNA haplogroup. This is one reason why I am looking at ANY Norwood connection to ANY Wind family. On burial, baptism and marriages, in County Durham, Eng, I find Norwoods and Winds living close by, especially around Stanhope way.
So my questions are :
1  are there two Isabellas and this is coincidental
2 Did Isabella remarry a Wind or is there some other complicated relationship....
3 If this is a red herring, where should I begin to pick apart any Norwood-Wind connection.

There does appear to be a common ancestor between Wind/Norwood at least according to yDNA, but where?  I am trying to break down a brick wall I have for my Wind line and this may offer another way of looking at different connections.
Thanks to any insights into this odd situation.

A couple of baptisms for children of each Isabella give a couple of extra details:

Stanhope 16th February 1812
Isabella Norwood born 2nd February 1812, 4th daughter of Robert Norwood, native of this parish, by his wife Isabella Hutchinson, native of Alston.
(Young Isabella dies 25th May 1812 Stanhope)

And then:

Lamesley Gateshead 15th December 1805
Henry Wind born 14th October 1802
father Henry Wind of Lamesley, pitman by Isabella, daughter of Edward Hutchinson of this parish.

Thank you so much for these quick responses. So, it is clear that Heny's Isabella is not the same as Norwoods. I have been able to locate the records you all suggested and cross check things. So, I am still looking for a Norwood connection.  Thank you for helping resolve that red herring.
EDIT - I have now found 3 Isabella's born within 3 (1771-73) years in the Gateshead area......

Well, a surprise, but maybe another coincidence. I have found on Ancestry, a John (johannem Norwood) was recorded with a marriage bond to Mary Wind at Whickham, London 1702. So far this is the only hard record, but at this point I have no other source or connected families.
