Hi Gen Sounds like a good idea, Will do so next time I am up there Cheers Mike -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of gen listlass Sent: 22 February 2013 05:04 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NMB] Stamfordham Parish Records MikeI would look at the Woodhorn holdings for the FALCUS/FAWCUS family. They might have been written up by one of the good local historians. There are collections of pedigrees which are good for early dates like yours.

The only marriage of a Barbara/Barbry to a Falcus/Fawcus is Robert Facus to Barbry Stodert 26.6.166 in STAMFORDHAM, Robert Facus dies 1685 leaving his widow free to marry George Straker in 1686 in Pontelan (adjacent to Stamfordham). As there are children baptised to Robert in Stamfordham 16567-1673 then I suspected that my John of 1673 should also fit in there! > > Thanks for any assistance > > Mike > > > > I was chasing up the Warkworth Falcus/Fawcus and seeing how they fit in when I found a deposition from William Straker of Warkworth setting out his pedigree from John Fawcus of Warkworth, carpenter.

"Barbara" was not a common name and the only marriage I can find for a "Barbara" to a Falcus/Fawcus prior to 1686 would be Robert Facus and Barbry Stodert 26.6.1666 Stamfordham and it would appear that there is the death of Robert Facus 19.5.1685 of Kirkly, which would leave his widow Barbara free to remarry after 1685. > It would appear that Robert Facus had at least the following children all baptised in Stamfordham > Issabelle 31.03.1667 > Roger 04.07.1669 > Elizabeth daughter of Robert, buried 14.1.1672 > Thomas 14.09.1673 > I though perhaps there might be one missing! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of gen listlass > Sent: 21 February 2013 03:32 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [NMB] Stamfordham Parish Records > > > > After reading Geoff's post about surname variations, I remembered there is a local farmer who is called Fawcus but often known as Fowkie!
