I am trying to find a possible marriage for the parents John and Alice Wakenshaw

from 1841 and 1851 census records they appear to be John Wakenshaw b 1768 Chatton and Alice ? b 1788 Beadnell

They died 1851 and 1858 respectively in Chatton

1851 for ref (William and Margaret are my direct descendants)

just not seeing the marriage

No me neither !!

been beavering away looking for some of them on later censuses, can come further up to date but no marriage as yet

He was quite a bit older than Alice so maybe a second marriage ?, says John junior was first child so if they did marry likely to be about 1815 ish

just surfing the net for info - found this which may be of interest to you

I'm going through it but they are long and can send you cross-eyed after a while
:-D but very often you'll get what you're looking for

Oh my goodness, I may well have to , but maybe a daylight job ?

don't wreck your eyes on my behalf Ann

Going to have to call it a day for today,

thanks ann

flippin' 'eck - went right through that document - not a sign of a Wakenshaw - very sore scrolling finger and cross eyed now :-D

Oh Ann I didn't expect you to do that !

the mystery of the marriage remains for now then

J

Janet.....Have had a look at the Bishop Barrington Reg.of BDMs for Beadnell...there is only 2 "Alice's" Baptised around 1788

1786 Alice daughter of John and Mary Douglas of Fleatham
1790 Alice daughter of James and Sarah Mills of Swinhoe Redhouses.


I think full Registers are held at Northumberland Archives
