Hi Pat I'm sorry if I've done something wrong, but I am new to this. My Crosby's originated in the Penshaw area with William b 1734, marrying Margaret Dixon in 1759. Then Ralph b 1761, then Dixon b 1801 in Sunderland. He married Catherine Tindle in 1824 at Holy Trinity. Their son Dixon b 1833 married Mary Jane Bellas in 1856 and their daughter Catherine Tindle Crosby b 1857 , my great grandmother married George Barron in St Barnabas in 1885. Hope that helps Regards Eileen From: eng-dur-sunderland-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-dur-sunderland-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of eng-dur-sunderland-request@rootsweb.com Sent: 29 September 2010 08:01 To: eng-dur-sunderland@rootsweb.com Subject: ENG-DUR-SUNDERLAND Digest, Vol 5, Issue 94
