Update re information that everyone kindly sourced on my behalf and possibly sourcing Mary’s maiden name
One of the responses I received included the paragraphs listed below which mentioned George Routledge
I had no knowledge of George’s connection to my lineage of Routledge although he was in data as a Father in Law to another branch of my heritage
He was not attached to the earlier lines including John his wife Elizabeth or daughter Mary mother of Elizabeth Armstrong
George Routledge of Bankhead married Elizabeth Armstrong - in 1768 - who was Granddaughter of John Routledge and his wife Elizabeth Dodgson my 7th Great Grandparents
Elizabeth Armstrong was George’s second wife (first spouse Grace Routledge - married 1763)
Elizabeth would have been my 1st cousin 7x removed
Do not know how George connects to Mary Routledge spouse of William Wilson my 3rd Great Grandparents (their daughter Jane married Simon Kennedy and this is my direct line of Kennedy Ancestors via my Dad John Renwick Kennedy)
But I now believe that there is a link in some way so I will try and research the connection
Many thanks for all the replies to my initial appeal
Much appreciated
Edith
(On the 1835 tithe map of the parish of Bewcastle the owner and occupier of the plot named as Bankhead homestead is George Routledge.
added: that was a little cryptic, Bankhead Cottage was the abode of the parents of Jane at the baptism at Nether Knowe linked elsewhere.
added later: my mistake, the abode of Jane’s parents was Bankend Cottage not Bankhead.’)
