The TARN and HEWARD families appear to have lived on the same farm - Kirkhouse Fold, near Langdon Beck - for around 300 years! William TARN was born 10 Dec 1656 and baptized at St Mary's, Middleton-in-Teesdale, on 28 Dec 1656. His grandson Timothy TARN married Jane TALLENTIRE 16 Oct 1760. His g-g-granddaughter Jane TARN married John HEWARD 25 Sep 1839 and since she was an only child, the tenancy passed into the hands of the HEWARD family, who continued to farm at Kirkhouse Fold until after the war. Does anyone else on the list have an interest in these families? Happy to share any information. Melvyn (also researching SCOTT, PARKIN, WEARMOUTH and WATSON in Teesdale)
