They were in Whitley Bay, Northumberland, on the north side of the River Tyne, about forty miles north of Darlington. Perhaps you missed the reply to your previous query, but you can find it in the archive. > http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/NORTHUMBRIA/2015-04/1429097647 > Kath On 20/04/2015 12:36, Helen Carter via wrote: > Mary Elizabeth was born 1866 at Derby, Derbyshire she married John WILSON > 1896 they are believed to have had 2 daughters > In 1901 they are living at Darlington Durham with Elizabeth Victoria > (daughter) b.1898 in Durham > I can't find the family in 1911 they seem to have moved but where > Helen >

Hello all, I am assisting a friend who is interested in her background. Her grandfather was James Straker JACKSON, whose birth was registered at Belford in 1883, and would appear to be a son of James Straker JACKSON and (Mary ROBSON probably). The family story is that James jnr ran away to sea. I think James snr. was a son of Henry Dixon JACKSON and Esther STRAKER who married 1855/2q. If anybody reading this is researching the family, I would love to hear from you. thanks Marion
They are by no means either missing or too poor to read. The originals of the four "ancient" Newcastle C of E parishes are now at Woodhorn in Northumberland (which is the Diocesan repository). There are microfilm copies in Tyne and Wear Archives and in Newcastle Central Library. The Bishops' Transcripts are in Durham University Library, Archives and Special Collections, with facsimiles on line on the LDS "FamilySearch" web site. However, there are occasional gaps in the BTs. Could it be that you have been frustrated by looking at them and finding a gap? If so, then remember that the BTs are NOT the parish registers, just a transcript of them. A contemporary transcript, yes, but a transcript nonetheless. I assume that since you refer to them as parish records we are considering only Church of England ones. There were four parishes in Newcastle at the period you mention - St Nicholas, All Saints, St John and St Andrew. All Saints had a Parochial Chapelry at St Ann's. There were also a number of other denominations present in the town - Methodists and various strains of Presbyterians, plus Roman Catholic and "others" including, eg Swedenborgians. Tyne and Wear Archives are the first place to look for their registers - see their web site (Google for it), where there is a copy of their leaflet listing all the church registers (C of E and other) they hold. As I mentioned in response to your last query, don't be surprised if you don't find a record in Newcastle itself of the baptism of someone recorded in later life as coming from "Newcastle", as those from anywhere in the NE of England, when far from there, might well say they were from "Newcastle", as a first approximation to where they were from - ie as the name of a place almost anyone would at least have heard of. Indeed, if they just said "Newcastle", and not "Newcastle upon Tyne", then also remember there are many other Newcastles, including Newcastle under Lyme, Newcastle Co Down, Newcastle South Africa, Newcastle New South Wales, etc, etc. Geoff Nicholson -----Original Message----- From: Judy Bradley via <northumbria@rootsweb.com> To: NORTHUMBRIA <NORTHUMBRIA@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sat, 18 Apr 2015 16:32 Subject: [NMB] Newcastle parish records.

Judy: Although I cannot tell you anything about the origins of your Benjamin Bradley Dodgen (probably actually Dodgson, a still-common surname hereabouts), I do note that the NDFHS indexes to ALL marriages in (a) Northumberland (includes Newcastle) and (b) Co Durham 1813 to 1837 do not mention that between the supposed parents, Timothy and Ann. However, I do know that there WAS a marriage between a Timothy Dodgson and a Mary Ann Dodds at Newcastle St Nicholas (now Newcastle Cathedral) on 29 November 1840. While that may sound much too late to be relevant to your present search, I wonder whether perhaps Timothy's first wife, Ann, had died and he had re-married. Of course, the Timothy who married in 1840 may have been a son of "your" Timothy - or no relation at all. I would advise you to remain aware of the possibility that Benjamin was born in Co Durham, as Newcastle so dominates this district that anyone from anywhere within many miles of it, if elsewhere and asked where they come from will say "Newcastle" even though that may not, strictly, be correct. For most "County indexing" purposes, Newcastle is taken as part of Northumberland but remember that Co Durham, particularly in the form of Gateshead, is only the width of the Tyne away from Newcastle.

Wally, Where does name spelling ever come from? Until the 1800s, spelling was pretty fluid. The minister wrote down what he heard and if he was new in an area he might not have known if there was a usual spelling, nor might the owners of the name. Maybe someone pronounced it with an "own" on the end. Where are you? If in the US, were they literate when they went through Ellis Island? If not, the immigration official wrote down what she or he thought they heard. If unfamiliar with the immigrants' accent, any spelling is possible! And if the listener was a little hard of hearing, there would be a shortage of "s"es. My own name is variously spelt in the parish registers FAIRALLICE, FARLESS, FAIRLIS(S), FRAILES, FRAILER, FROWLER (e.g. Frowler Meadow in the Allendale, NMB area), possibly even FALALLER in Tudor times. The variation of the Allendale accent (in my case) would make an interesting study.

Where did you see it? Depends where you saw it. If it was on a census it's the interpretation of the name, by whoever filled it in. Lancelot >> I came across a different spelling of my surname >> >> which I had never seen before Andersone. Anybody >> >> have a clue were this name came from? >> >> Wally >>
Spelling was not standardised until the 20th century. That's all there is to say about it.
