    1. [ENG-DURHAM] Thomas Ferry married Elizabeth Smith
    2. Georgia Ferry
    3. I am looking for records for the family of Thomas Ferry married to Elizabeth Smith Jul 29, 1820 Houghton-Le-Spring, County Durham, England Children: William Ferry baptized 1818 West Rainton, England Jane baptized 1818 West Rainton, England Thomas baptized 1820 West Rainton, England Frances, daughter baptized Oct. 5, 1923 and burial 12 Jan. 1824 Hetton, age 10 mo. John born Dec. 6, 1826 Easington Lane, County Durham, England and this is my husband's great grandfather and we have his birth date from the Latter Day Saints Church in the United States Robert Smith baptized 1828 Easington Lane, County Durham. These are all the children that I have found with their baptized dates. Don't have their actual birth dates. Only have John. Now---- John Ferry b. 1826 married Elizabeth Jane Willingham around 1845 in the United States, Pennsylvania and have not found their marriage as the records were not kept then. Still trying to find a marriage bond for them, hopefully. I know they were married in this time period for the first child born 1847 and John was naturalized Jun 7, 1947 Pennsylvania. I have the family from PA. to Illinois to Missouri and his death and Jane's death. By the way Elizabeth Jane went by the name of Jane. According to naming patterns I have figured out that the first daughter be named after mother's mother, so I assume that Elizabeth Jane Willingham's mother was either Hanna or Frances. The second daughter would be after the father's mother and this is correct for I have John and Elizabeth Jane's second daughter as Elizabeth. Then the first son would be named after the father's father and yes, we have Thomas. The second son would be after the mother's father and we have John, but there are 5-6 years without any children listed, so don't really know if Elizabeth's father was John or not. John's brother middle name was Willingham and that is how I found Elizabeth Jane Willingham married to John Ferry. I know this is all confusing. For it is for me. But I would like to find some church records with Thomas and Elizabeth Smith and their family so I can put this family line all together. I need help trying to get more info on this line of Ferry's in County Durham. Thanks to all for any help or suggestions given. Georgia
