Alma LAWSON married Vernon F. WOODCOX.


Thomas TEASDALE Yeoman [Parents] was born about 1626 in Of Dotland, Hexham, Nbl. He was buried 12 Apr 1721 in Prob Church, Slaley, Nbl. Thomas married Elizabeth ROWLAND on 20 May 1650/1651 in Hexham, Nbl.

Other marriages:
, Anne

BAPTISM: of Thomas Teasdale#537, father of  Samuel#126, was
estimated 24 years from date of 2nd marriage.

EXTENSIVE  GENEALOGICAL DATA RE THE TEASDALE FAMILY AND THOMAS
TEASDALE  in History of NBL Vol VI by John Crawford Hodgson, 1902,
page 374.  including his will and the following:

MARRIAGE: to Elizabeth Rowland of Dotland 20 May 1650 (or 1651)=
Thomas Teasdale of Slaley & steel-hall, yeoman. (Hexham Register.)

MARRIAGE: to Anne........(who) died at Steel-hall, bur. in the body of the
church 30 Aug 1724 (Slaley Register).  Hodgson's Pedigree shows
children descending from Anne and Thomas Teasdale

WILL reads:"1720/21, Mar 20th.  Will of Thomas Teasdale of Steel-hall
in the parish of Slaley.  To my dau Mary Mowbray, 5 pounds, and to her
children, Teasdale and Anne Mowbray 5 pounds apiece; my son George
Mowbray, 6 lbs.  I give to Thomas Teasdale of Slaley a close called
Strother Close; to the poor of Slaley, 20 lbs, the interest to be
distributed on St. Thomas's day every year; to my son Samuel Teasdale
300 lbs; to my grand-daughter Jane Caward, and to my grand-daughter
Mary Teasdale 200 lbs, if she marry with the advice of Samuel Teasdale,
her father; and to my grand-daughter Anne Teasdale, 200 lbs, on the
same condition;  my wife Anne; my great grandson John White, son of my
grand-daughter Elizabaeth White  5 lbs.  I give to my grandson Thomas
Teasdale, my lands (except Steel-hall, which I have some time ago
settled on my son Samuel), my moneys on mortgage and  silver tankard
and cup.  Proved 1721.  Raine, Test. Ebor.

BURIAL:  Thomas Teasdale of Slaley and Steel-hall (Brit Mus Harl Ms
1554, fol 29.) yeoman; (query eldest son of Thomas Teasdale of Slaley).
By will dated 20th March, 1720/1, gave 20 pounds to the poor of the
parish of Slaley, the interest to be distributed on St. Thomas's day
(Raine, Test Ebor.); purchased the Lee 14 Feb., 1693 (Bell Collection);
buried 12 Apr 1721 (Slaley Register.)

If he was born about 1626,  he died at age 95.

But the names of 2 of  Samuel's children- Elizabeth & Mary-as listed in
his will- are confusing.  Are they nicknames for Eleanor & Margaret?  Or
were they born in another parish and not yet note.

Still another factor to deal with in this puzzle:  Elizabeth Teasdale=
George White 29 Dec 1709.  "Teasdale White of Humshaugh, son of Geo
White. . .by his wife Elizabeth, sister and co-heir of Thomas Teasdale of
Steel-hall in Slaley and of Newcastle."   See pg 280 of Surtees v 124,
my WHI0459B.

Elizabeth ROWLAND was born in Of Dotland. She married Thomas TEASDALE Yeoman on 20 May 1650/1651 in Hexham, Nbl.

EXTENSIVE  GENEALOGICAL DATA RE THE TEASDALE FAMILY AND THOMAS
TEASDALE  in History of NBL Vol VI by John Crawford Hodgson, 1902,
page 374.  including the following:

MARRIAGE:  Elizabeth Rowland of Dotland 20 May 1650 (or 1651)= to
Thomas Teasdale of Slaley & steel-hall, yeoman. (Hexham Register.)

The children of Thomas Teasdale, as appears in Hodgson, descend from
Anne, so I assume that Elizabeth died before Thomas's first child,
Samuel, who was baptized  15 Oct 1665.

However:  baptism record of Eleanor Teasdale d of Samuel Teasdale (son
of Thomas Teasdale #537) baptized 28 Sep 1698 found on Parish
Printout of Hexham Parish, NBL.  The record included witnesses for
Eleanor's baptism: "(BRO.) THOMAS- (#my #553); MR. John Aimesley; Mary
Teasdale; & Eleanor Rowland.

Perhaps Thomas #553, was a son of Thomas #537's first wife, Elizabeth
Rowland.  Note the Eleanor Rowland who was also a witness.  Recheck
IGI.
------------------------

MARRIAGE: Thomas to Anne........(who)" died at Steel-hall, bur. in the body
of the church 30 Aug 1724 (Slaley Register)."


Thomas TEASDALE was born about 1600 in Of Slaley, Nbl, Eng.

Thomas WHITFIELD [Parents] was born 4 Nov 1784 in Harbes Law, Alston, Cul and was christened 4 Dec 1784 in Alston Parish, , Cul, Eng.. He was buried 26 Feb 1826 in Of Wolfcleugh, West Allendale, Northumberland, Eng.. Thomas married Hannah CHESTER on 22 Aug 1807 in St. Peters And, Allenheads, Allendale Parish, Nbl.

BIRTH:   Hazel English's "Family Register of Teasdel and Sarah Whitfield"
as sent to E. Dexter, Apr 29,1965.  p. 154, E. Dexter Notebook: "THOMAS
WHITFIELD born at Harbeslow in Alston Moore [Cumberland] Nov 4, 1784."
(Marina,1990 resident of Farney Shield, said it is spelled- "Harbes Law
[and is] about a mile or less from Alston on the Haltwhistle Road. Many
many Walton's from around Alston lived along this road.")    WHI0143.

BAPTISM: Cumberland IGI:  "THOMAS WHITFIELD [son of] Thomas
Whitfield, 4 Dec 1784, Alston."

MARRIAGE:  We've tied Thomas Whitfield to  Hannah Chester from the IGI.
According to the IGI, they were married 27 Aug 1807,  at Allendale
Parish.  That mg date would make this Thomas#914 (b 1784) 23 yrs old.
The ONLY Thomas Whitfield marriage to a "HANNAH" that is listed in the
Northumberland IGI  is the Thomas Whitfield who married  Hannah
Chester on 27 Aug 1807.

MARRIAGE:  Lila's page 41 (film #252521)  "22 Aug 1807 Thos Whitfield
and Hannah Chester.  Witness John Whitfield."    Chapelries of St. Peter &
Allenheads in Allendale Parish, Marr & Banns.

"Thomas and HANNAH" had seven children at Wolf Cleugh.  Wolf Cleugh
seems to be the family home of  Thomas#909 Whitfield  b. 1762.

Letter from Doreen Dinsdale, 56 Marchwood Road, Sheffield S6 5LD,
Yorkshire, Eng.   She said,   "Thomas Whitfield, b 1784 md Hannah Chester
1807 and had: Hannah 1809, Hannah 1811, Thomas 1814,  Ruth 1814,

"Thomas and HANNAH" had seven children at Wolf Cleugh.  Wolf Cleugh
seems to be the family home of  Thomas Whitfield  b. abt. 1760.

BURIAL:  DOC:  Parish Transcript, Allendale Parish, Northumberland, Eng.
from Film # 990,933, SL:  " burial of Thomas Whitfield of Wolf Cleugh,
26 Feb 1826, 41 years."      The Thomas Whitfield who was b 4 Nov 1784
would be 42 in Nov.  1826-42 =1784.

I don't see Hannah Whitfield in 1841 census of West Allendale.  She
would be about 58 in 1841.  Probably died by 1841.  No listing for Wolf
Cleugh.  Perhaps I missed it.

They had the following children:

  F i
Hannah WHITFIELD was born in Wolf Cleugh, West Allendale, Northumberland, Eng. and was christened 14 Oct 1809 in Ninebanks, Allendale Parish, Northumberland, Eng..

Christening:  Fr. original Allendale Parish Records, Chapelry at Ninebanks.   Copied by submitter, 23 Sep 1987 at Ninebanks.

Comment:  Perhaps Thomas and Hannah Whitfield's first daughter named Hannah died and they had another daughter they named Hannah.

Dear Dianne,

Your April 7th letter was (and is) wonderful!   And the pictures----oh,
the pictures----They are priceless.
I get  a bit weak-knee d when I see old pictures like those.   Pictures tell
so much of the story, faaaaaassssssst.  I am so grateful you shared those
pictures with me.

I'm feeling a lot of conflict right now about where to spend family
history time.  I am pulled in several directions with many things to
do.

I guess your pictures provided the strongest pull today.  Perhaps because
they make such a clear "visual" attached to the names I am working
with.  I am especially drawn to the eys of your EDWARD WHITFIELD AND
SARAH (CHESTER).  They certainly give the appearance of intelligence and
discipline and culture.  I wonder if Sarah was gentle or sharp tongued?
Her mouth indicates both.  Edward looks like he might not have talked
much, but when he did, I'll bet people listened.

I have a xerox picture of my Teasdale and Sarah (Bell) Whitfield which I
will enclose.  Teasdale b 1792, was an uncle of your Edward Whitfield.

I've spent much of the morning entering the data you sent me on your
family branch records.  Thank you for sending such neat, easy to read and
understand material.  You've certainly done a lot of good work.

I keep trying to figure out which records you have gotten from the IGI
and which is your own family records?  Do you have a Family Bible as a
source?
===================
Here is one of the conflicts:

When I was at Ninebanks, West Allendale in 1987, I made a hand written
copy of the Whitfields from the "Parish register for 1813-1921."  Only
two of Edward and Sarah (Chester's) children were listed on that
register, which is unusual, considering the first four children were born
at Broad Lee.   Here is what I extracted:

Sep 7, 1849
Sarah, (d of) Edward and Sarah Whitfield (of) Broad Lee, miner.
and twin
Thomas, (s of) Edward and Sarah Whitfield (of) Broad Lee, miner.

You have listed the first four children as born at Broadlea, and the IGI
also lists those 4 children as born Broadlee.

However, there is a discrepancy  between the IGI, your record and this
record I copied from the Ninebanks register regarding the birth dates of:
the twins, Thomas and Sarah and the next child, Leah.

It appears that the person who sent in those first 5 names to the IGI
lives in New Zealand.  Do you have relatives in New Zealand?  Since this
is your family, you may want to know who that New Zealand person is.

AGAIN, it will help me to know: Did you get the place names of "Broadlea"
from the Family Bible?  And also the dates?

The lead-mining  map I sent you (didn't I?) shows "Hearty Cleugh" to be
north of Blackcleugh about 3/4ths of a mile, in West Allendale.

Do you have a good map of the Allendale area?  I have the OS Landranger
map of Hexham, Haltwhistle & Surrounding area.  It is an excellent map
for our purposes.  If you do not have a good map, I could send you a xerox
of the Allendale area, showing BroadLee, Ninebanks, etc.

Misc.:  Hannah's last name may be Coats.  If so, she and John were
married 10 Jun 1809, Allendale.  From Allendale parish records. AND IGI
___________
BAPTISM:  (from Diane, May 15, 1992): "Hannah Coats, the dau of Edward

Elizabeth WHITFIELD was born 11 Aug 1810 in Ninebanks, , , Eng..

Letter from Dianne Hughes, 7 April 1992, "Tolloora" Kings court,
Teesdale, Vic 3328, Australia.   Hannah Coates and John whitfield were
her 3rd great grandparents.
I'm not sure of her sources.  She may have gotten most of it from the IGI.

I missed this child, Elizabeth, in my IGI search.....but she seems to fit.
Perhaps I had made up my listing of children for Hannah (Coates) and
John whitfield  from the Whitfield baptisms listed in the Ninebanks
Parish Register that I copied when we were in Ninebanks.  That register
did not begin until 1813.  Hence I would have missed Elizabeth's birth in
1810.

She is understandably not in 1841-1861 census with her parents.

Leah WHITFIELD was born in Harty Cleugh, Allendale Parish, Northumberland, Eng. and was christened 21 Feb 1813 in Ninebanks, Allendale, Northumberland, Eng..

BAPTISM:  I am using her IGI baptismal date  21 Feb 1813, at Ninebanks.
The latter date also concurs with the Parish Reg of Ninebanks which I
copied, Sep 23, 1987 AT Ninebanks.  "Hartey Clough" was listed as
"abode" of parents John and Hannah Whitfield when Leah was born.

Comment: A lead-mining book's map shows "Hearty Cleugh" to be north of
Blackcleugh about 3/4ths of a mile, in West Allendale.

Leah is not with her parents in 1841-1861 census.

Thomas WHITFIELD was born in Harty Cleugh, Allendale, Northumberland, Eng. and was christened 27 Aug 1815 in Ninebanks, Allendale Parish, Nbl, Eng..

BAPTISM: Conflict  on dates:  I have "4 Jul 1815 at Ninebanks."  I do not
know that source so I am using the IGI baptism of 27 aug 1815, at
Ninebanks.  The latter date also concurs with the Parish Reg of
Ninebanks which I copied, Sep 23, 1987 AT Ninebanks.  "Harty Cleugh"
was listed as "abode" of parents John and Hannah Whitfield when Thomas
was born.

Comment: A lead-mining book's map shows "Hearty Cleugh" to be north of
Blackcleugh about 3/4ths of a mile, in West Allendale.

Phyllis WHITFIELD was born in Carrshield, Allendale, Nbl, Eng and was christened 1 Feb 1824 in West Allen, High Chapel, Allendale Parish, Nbl.

BAPTISM: Two entries for Phillis of the same date & in close proximity:
"Carrshield" says IGI  P002841, extraction.
"West Allen High Chapel" says IGI CO73921.
Carrshield and West Allen High Chapel are probably the same place.
Carrshield chapelry was built in 1822.   It is up at the top of the
hill-like mountain and probably was called "High Chapel" to differentiate
it from Ninebanks, which is down at a lower elevation.
