I am searching
for Jane PARKER who reputedly had two illegitimate children
by Nicholas TODD b 1782, of Tofts and later of Stonecroft, NBL. The
children were Jane TODD born 1809 and Nicholas PARKER born
1825. Jane TODD became 'a woman of substance' and lived at Newbrough
Park. Her brother Nicholas PARKER lived a quieter life and is buried in
Newbrough Church yard. Jane TODD died 1882, Newbrough Park, she and her father Nicholas
TODD
who died 1863 are buried at Haydon, St Cuthbert, NBL, but I have been unable to find
any information on where Jane PARKER came from or what happened to her.
Blank Line
In his will of 1863 Nicholas TODD left his reputed daughter Jane TODD
£10,000 of his estate and his reputed son Thomas PARKER a contractor of
Stone croft £3000. Provision was also made for wife and children. When Jane TODD
died she left her entire estate to Thomas PARKER and his family. (Submitted

living at Jesmond Vale, Newcastle, NBL, unfortunately not with his parent's, it

Fred was brought up by the ARMSTRONG's, while his sister Elizabeth Grace PHILIPSON

& took his fathers name. Fred's grandparents were Thomas ARMSTRONG, b 1842,
Stanhope and Mary Ann HEATHERINGTON. Thomas's father was William ARMSTRONG,
b 1808 and William's father was also a William, b 1770. Jane PHILIPSON

William ARMSTRONG had gone to South Africa prior to the Boer War, where

believed he died.

only a birth and marriage at Haydon Bridge, NBL, in

Blacksmith in Crosby on Eden. I would be grateful for any help.

Seeking information on William Blackett RICHARDSON and his family. His
Death Certificate in NSW, Australia states he was born Pittymill, DUR, but
Pittymill may be an error. His parents were John RICHARDSON & Mary
and he married Jane PEACOCK, 1845, Shildon, DUR. Three
children were born in England before William & Jane emigrated to New Zealand,
in 1859, with their daughter Mary Ann, on the ship 'Harwood'. Two sons Matthew
b.1845 &
John H RICHARDSON b. 1848, both Shildon, DUR, remained in England with Jane's parents Michael &
Jane PEACOCK.

which her husband William Blackett RICHARDSON married Ann Jane McCUTCHEON

marriage and on her children's Birth Certificates she is stated as being born

I am digging for information about John ROBSON. All I know is he was dead
by 1841. He fathered at least 1 child Robert ROBSON (who in 1842 married Mary
Holder OXX),
but I am pretty certain I have linked John to a wife Jane born c 1798. If this is
correct he also fathered John ROBSON c1822, plus siblings George c1825,
Jane c1829, Isabella c1831 and William c1834 (who married another Jane ??? and had at least 2 children
by 1881 - John Thomas and Margaret).
Blank Line
In 1841 a widowed Jane ROBSON is living in Longbenton and a lot of the
marriages of my ancestors were married or bapt in All Saints Church, Newcastle,
NBL. I have found 2 possible surnames for Jane - either TODD or EDMUNDS
but I can not find any evidence to prove or disprove either.
Blank Line
I also have a suspicion that Joseph ROBSON (c1823) is somehow related. I
think he married an Ann FOSTER (c1826-) but the surname is only an
educated guess. He later moved to Wiltshire with his child Robert Foster ROBSON.
He
also had other children Joseph Peter, Martha (who married Robert KEEL),
Samuel and Margaret.

names:-
Napoleon Washington WOOLER,

b c 1833, Thomas Kosciusko WOOLER,
b 1842, Newcastle, m Eliza Jane GOSS. Others
have assumed that Jonathan WOOLER was born 1774 Wolsingham, DUR, died 1853,
Brentford (Kew) based on the person present at his death sharing the name
(Eliza) and living in the same area (Turnham Green) as the wife of Napoleon
Washington WOOLER. However, whilst this
would be ideal because of the well documented WOOLER's of Wolsingham, it would
mean that Mary Ann was his second wife, his first marriage was to Ann WOOLER at
St Luke’s, Old St, Finsbury, London, 10 Nov 1811, and other events and data do not seem too convincing. Have you come across this family during your studies? Your
information and assistance could bring a few years of questioning to an end. (Submitted

Grandfather Noble ORWIN, born 1817, Newcastle
upon Tyne, NBL, son of Michael ORWIN & Isabella HEATH. He was convicted in 1837 and transported to Port Jackson, Australia
in
1838 on board the 'Lord Lyndoch 4'. He married Elizabeth
ANDERSON, 1847 in Sydney and died 1875 at Braidwood, NSW. I have all relevant
information after his arrival in Australia, but have been unable to find his
conviction records etc. Michael ORWIN & Isabella HEATH, married 1812, All
Saints, Newcastle and had 3 children, Michael 1815, Noble 1817 and Isabella
1819. This was Michael Snr's first marriage and was a joint ceremony with his
brother John born 1786. Another brother George was born 1788. Isabella (Snr) must have died before 1822 as that is when Michael
remarried to Jane CASH. Would like to know more about Michael & Jane and about Michael's occupation as
a glassman and as a Metal Founder (1841 census). Recent
research has shown the name could also have been spelled URWIN, but as yet

I am trying to find details of my paternal Gt. Grandmother Edith COOK, who I believe was born in Alston,
CUL. My paternal Grandmother was Annie Evelyn Mary
BARRON, who married Albert William YOUNG,
born 24 Sept 1908, Quebec, DUR. They lived in Barnet, London (Bells Hill) and had my father Hugh Alan
YOUNG. Sadly we know very little about my grandmother as my father has not
seen her since he was five years old although I do believe she did try to make
contact in the 1970’s. We believe she also had another child, a boy who
would be my father’s half brother. Therefore, would appreciate any information
regarding the YOUNG family of Quebec, DUR, during late 1800's, early 1900's. (Updated

I am looking for information on the GLANCY & MIDDLETON families. The
GLANCY's were of Irish descent and lived in Gilesgate, Hexham, NBL, 1850 to
1880. The MIDDLETON's lived in Gilesgate and the Holy Island area of Hexham,
1800 to1937. I have a photo dated 1898, of the MIDDLETON family, which includes
Mary MIDDLETON (nee GLANCY) and is of good quality.

Researching McGLEN, McGLENON (Ireland pre 1846, Whitehaven, CUL, post 1846,
Washington, DUR, post 1850). MATHER, MURPHY (Ireland pre 1846, Carlisle, CUL,
post 1846). My grandfather Patrick McGLEN and his wife Mary, both born Ireland
1826 and 1828 respectively, had a son Patrick born Ireland 1844. I understand
they came to Whitehaven, CUL, about 1846-1851 where further children were
born. They then moved to Washington, DUR. I also have MATHER ancestors who
lived in Carlisle after moving from Ireland. My Great grandfather Soloman came
from Ireland and I believe his mother was called Mary MURPHY, also from Ireland.

I am descended from James SMALLHORN who emigrated to Australia in the 1860s from
the largely Huguenot town of Portarlington in Ireland. All SMALLHORN families in
Australia, USA, Canada, although only very distantly related, have the same
family story of three Huguenot brothers who went to Portarlington and that the
name was anglicized from the French CHALHAUN (or something similar). The IGI
records show SMALLHORNS in the Portarlington area in the late 17th century.
Blank

I am fascinated by the occurrence of the name SMALLHORN (variations include
SMALHORNE) occurring in Cumberland (Dalston) in the late 16th century and Otley,
Ilkely, Kildwick, Silsden and Addingham in the early 17th century then seeming
to disappear. I thought that perhaps if SMALLHORN was an English surname in its
own right, then the name might be more common and more widespread. I am
therefore very interested to know if there might be a connection between these
English SMALLHORN's and my ancestors.
Blank
Line
I have also come across reference to a Walloon name SMALLAAN in the Netherlands
and wonder if that is a more likely original name than CHALHAUN.

I would be delighted to hear from anyone who has researched the SMALLHORNS in
the north of England.
