Hi all, a friend my OH asked if I could post the following information as she needs some help with details for her own research -
I gave up FMP and Ancestry early last year as I seemed to have reached 'the end'! and it was getting too expensive. I have quite a lot of info from (various sources) Bishops' Transcripts. Although I know these are 'fact' from library archives I cannot find the info on the IGI. There are a lot of crossings out, corrections and unlikely dates. (Could the Bishop have been partaking too liberally or just in a hurry?).Could anyone who has FMP or Ancestry please look-up one of them for me as a 'test piece' to see if it would be worth taking-up one of these options again?
50 Doc.BT. Jenkin Pearson ch. 24th April 1759 at All Saints, Scaleby, Cumbs. Death:Jenkins Pearson b'd 19th June 1834 aged 77 (1757) at Christ Church, Carlisle. Married 1782 see below:
History: Doc: married. BT. page. 49 1782 no: 174. 8th May 1782 "Jenken Pearson of this Parish of Scalby, Botchergate aged 22 (23?) years married 51 Elizabeth (deleted) Isabel Sewell of this Parish Spinster aged 22 ..... in this church by banns this eighth day of May in the year of one thousand seven hundred and eighty two by me Rev. Richard Gore(?) Minister." St Cuthbert, Carlisle. "This Marriage was solemnized between us: Jenkin Pearson and the mark X of Isabel Pearson (late Sewell). In the presence of: Thomas Dalton. (b. 8th Dec. 1757(?) and John Pearson. (Father or brother." Doc: "Died as Isabella Pearson 11th January 1845 aged 94 (1751) of 'debility' in St. Mary's Workhouse. Widow of the late Jenkin Pearson. Cotton Spinner. Informant: William Davidson. Present at death. Saint Mary's Workhouse."
It took me 10 years to find Jenkin Chadwick - and now I find he was adopted and not Chadwick but Pearson! And there are hundreds of Pearsons in Cumberland.
I hope you can follow all this thanks in advance.
