The above were my ancestors and there were WESTGARTHS in CUL, before these times. William WESTGARTH was a mining engineer in the Allendale area of NBL. The family then moved to Tyneside circa 1798 to become watermen. Later marriages were to Jane BAINBRIDGE, Hannah BAINBRIDGE & Alice BINNEY etc. Some of the WESTGARTHs, not necessarily mine, were given as Quakers, especially to do with the London Lead Mining Co.

I am researching John WAUGH's family in Knarsdale, NBL. John was the second child of eleven born to William WAUGH and Ann RICHARDSON. William was born in Knarsdale, NBL 21st February, 1816 and John was born in Kirkhaugh, NBL on 21st August 1844. William and Ann and children emigrated to Australia in 1855. I have no other information regarding William and Ann's families and anything be it ever so small, would be much appreciated. (Updated August 2005)

I am looking for the parents of my Gt. grandfather, Jacob BATY, who emigrated to New Zealand in 1879. His name was Joseph BATY or BATEY, born about 1820, married about 1843, and was a lead miner at Killhope in Weardale. All I know about his wife was that she was Mary (nee PEART) and would have been born about 1821. They had four other children that we know of, Mary Ann, Sarah, Joseph and John, Jacob being the youngest. We suspect that he might have been a Primitive Methodist, as Jacob was also a very strong Methodist. Also looking for families of Jacob's brothers, Joseph and John, we know they were married and had children but that is all. (Updated February 2001)
