Newton - Westoe
« on: Thursday 19 August 04 12:16 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help please
I'm looking for the birth of William NEWTON about 1793-5 in Westoe, Durham

All Census records except the 1871 give his birthplace as Newcastle on Tyne. The 1871 gives him as aged 78 born Westoe, Durham.

I am more inclined to believe this census as it also gives the correct birthplace for his wife Ruth as Heworth, Co Durham...she also has Newcastle on all the other  census.

many thanks
