My fifth great grandmother was Jane Pearson. She married Archibald Gillespy in Holm Cultram, Cumberland 07 June 1750. Although they were married in the Church of England, Archibald was a Quaker from a Quaker family. The Quaker records give Jane's birth as 28 Nov.1726. I found a christening in Staindrop 29 Nov 1726 in Staindrop, parents John and Elizabeth. Jane and William gave these names to two of their 11 children, but they are common names. The Gillespys were millers and the children were born at Lineholm Mill in Cumberland. They were raised as Quakers although at least two married in the C. of E. Is there any way I can pursue Jane's parentage? Is it likely that she could be born in Durham and marry in Cumberland? Comments and suggestions would be most welcome. Regards, Virginia
