Hi John, I have always known that I had HUME ancestors as it was my Father's middle name "Because it was a family surname." So I was unsurprised to find my great granda Thomas TAYLOR living as son-in-law with David Hume and his wife Annie in the 1901 census. Thomas's wife Emma being noted as "daughter" That was where the fun started, because although I could find Emma on a couple of censuses and had her on her marriage certificate, I couldn't find her birth. It took some help from here, but I eventually realised that there were 2 Emma Hume entries one for Q1 1876 the other for Q2, both in Tynemouth. No choice, I had to buy both. It transpires that my Emma was not David's daughter, but his niece. The daughter of his little sister Mary Ann, with no father. Since then I have gone back another generation, so my earliest Hume is Robert HUME born 1822 Gallow Hill, near Bolam Married Mary BLACKBIRD (b 1828 Earsdon) Newcastle-u-Tyne Q4 1845 Their children 1.1 David 22 Dec 1846 Seghill 1.2 George 1850 1.3 Jane 1852 1.4 Elizabeth 1854 1.5 Mary Ann 1857 - 1912 1.6 Robert 1860 1.7 Eleanor 1864 1.1 David married Annie GORDON (b 1848 Seghill) Tynemouth Q3 1866 1.1.1 Thomas W. 1865 Burradon 1.1.2 Robert 1868 Burradon 1.1.3 Christopher J. 1871 Wrekington, Co Durham 1.1.2 Robert married Sarah A. ? b1871 Seghill 1.2 George married Sarah MADDOX (b 1848 Hazelrigg) Newcastle-u-Tyne Q3 1872 1.4 Elizabeth married George MADDOX (b 1852 Hazelrigg) Tynemouth Q2 1873 1.5 Mary Ann 1.5.1 Emma 13 May 1876 Burradon 1.5 Mary Ann married William MADDOX (b 1847 Hazelrigg) Longbenton Parish Church 26 Dec 1869 as his 2nd wife. George and William MADDOX were brothers, Sarah MADDOX was their Aunt! That is all that I have under the HUME name at the moment. Any of it link anywhere?
