Such a person appears in the Hexham family: Andrew Coulson (b 1.1781) married Ann Keenleyside (b. Hexham) at Hexham 1810. ... Margaret Coulson (b. 1824 Hexham) married? John Peach at Hexham (children named Coulson) ......James Coulson (b. 1844 Hexham, d. 1919 Hexham) married Catherine (?) (b. ? Humshaugh) .........Robert H. Coulson (b. 1875 Hexham) That's all I know (they're not my Hexham Coulsons). Regards, David Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
