Happy New Year everyone! I'm looking forward to another year of making further discoveries, so thought I would post my interests: SMALL especially in South Shields but information about any SMALL family in the North East welcome, no matter their origin Any info on Charles SMALL born late 1700s poss South Shields - is his father Robert and his mother Thomasin? BELL Any info regarding Dorothy SMALL nee BELL born ?1790 South Shields/Washington? ; married Charles SMALL (shipwright) at St Paul's Jarrow, 30 Jan 1808. Dorothy and Charles moved to Chatham, Kent between 1810-1814 (have found several christenings there 1814 -1826). The family obviously moved back in the late 1820s after daughter Caroline's birth (1826) and before Francis' marriage in 1831. Have not yet found any death/burial info on either Dorothy or Charles MACKINGS (also seen without the 's', or 'gs'), written in Scarborough marriage register as MACHINS.

<HEDLEY Any info on a Margaret Hedley b abt 1810 South Shields, married Francis Bell SMALL in Christ Church Tynemouth 10 Apr 1831. This is all I know about my gggrandmother> Hi Jan, Just in case it is helpful, a little earlier there is the following baptism in the South Shields Presbyterian Church (as per LDS film 917001) - RG8/11: Margt daughter of Samuel & Margt Hedly was born April 20 & baptised 22 1802 I am also looking for HEDLEY family members in South Shields in this period, in particular the birth/ baptism around 1792/3 of Mary Ann HEDLEY who married Edward Davis, St Hilda's, South Shields, in 1820.
