Thomas WHITFIELD [Parents] was christened 2 Apr 1785 in Alston, Cul. He married Mary.

research on the Whitfield line.  Carol Minson has 1977 Notes of her
research, including three pedigree charts.  (I have rechecked a great deal
of her work and find it accurate---with few exceptions.)  WHI0199F

Maurice Lincoln WHI0515 sent mg date of 17.12.1812- Christopher
Whitfield=Hannah Teasdale--  "Witness Thos Whitfield."  Christopher's
older brother was this Thos Whitfield.

Sandy Baguley: "Thomas md Mary: Robt, Sarah, Thos, Leah, Rachel, John
Elie."

Mary married Thomas WHITFIELD.

This child was on her pedigree chart of Feb 1977.  However the IGI lists
the father" John", only, and not "Mary" the mother.  I think its likely we
have  two different families with a JOHN WHITFIELD as father.

However, this is Dr. J Young's direct line..so this must be carefully
analyzed.

Sandy Baguley: has Joseph md to Ann Readshaw 31 Jan 1811,  and 6
children.  She does not have a "Mary" listed either.

Ann READSHAW married Joseph WHITFIELD on 31 Jan 1811.

Paul WHITFIELD was born 6 Aug 1813.

WHI0405; for these two new names of Nancy and Paul..

Quite a gap betwen 1813 and 1835????22 years ofchildbearing.

died in 1819 and his tombstone age say 72 and the register says 76!  (Not
very accurate-but I would think 70 would be more accurate, judging by
other sources.  Perhaps the '6' in the register is a bad 'O'.  (The vicar said
the writing was poor.)  Also the Register calls him of Raise, so maybe he
died at his son Ralph's house."
