Hello, I'm a new lister. I'm searching for descendants of James FAWCUS and Isabel BONE or ARKLE, who were married in Newcastle in 1861. They had 4 children according to the 1881 Census (the only one I have seen so far), all born in Newcastle: Margaret b abt 1862, Francis b abt 1863, James b abt 1864 and Isabella b abt 1868. Father James died before 1881. The family were living in Gateshead Durham in 1881. Mother Isabel died 1899 or 1900. With the exception of Isabel, all the ARKLE family emigrated to New Zealand, where there are a great many descendants. Nancy

I may be able to help you as we have extensive notes on the Falcus (and Fawcus) families in the north-east back to the 17th century but I don't know who the father of your James Fawcus was. Have you considered purchasing the marriage certificate?

Hi Nancy, I was interested in your posting as I have Arkles marrying into my family. I'm unsure where the Arkles come into your family here. Could you elaborate a bit. Was Isabella Bone a widow when she married James Fawcus and born an Arkle?? My great grandmother had a half brother and sister who married an Arkle brother and sister. They were Andrew Hall who married Sarah Bell Arkle in 1845 at Elsdon Northumberland. His sister Margaret Hall married his wife's brother John Arkle in 1841 at Ingram. Both these families moved south near Langley Park in Co Durham along with their Arkle parents John Arkle and Elspeth Bell in the 1850s. In the late 1870s John Arkle aand his wife Margaret emigrated to New Zealand with their children. Their daughter Mary Arkle was married to a Richard Arkle and they settled at Ramarama, South Auckland and the house they lived in is the Pioneer cottage now situated at Roulston Park,Pukekohe. These Arkles were descended from the Arkle family of Elsdon.. Let me konw if you connect with this family. yours John h> Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2009 09:59:54 +1300 > From: ciotach@paradise.net.nz > To: NORTHUMBRIA@rootsweb.com > Subject: [NMB] FAWCUS, BONE & ARKLE > > Hello, I'm a new lister.
