Just discovered that I went wrong ten years ago on a branch of our tree.
I've discovered that Jonathan Hall of Oxclose was baptised on the 16th August 1795 at Holy Trinity Church Washington. It was the reference to Oxclose which made me realize that my original "discovery" of another Jonathan Hall was incorrect. The new Jonathan actually mentioned on the 1871 Census that he was born at Oxclose.
So now I have different parents for Jonathan. He was the son of Thomas and Jane Hall. I've spent hours on trying to track down the marriage of Thomas and Jane. I have found a marriage at Gateshead on 25th December 1783 of Thomas Hall and Jane Wolfe. What makes me think this might be the correct one is the following two baptismal records.
Jane Hall of New Lambton baptized on 10th September 1797 at All Saints Church, Penshaw. Daughter of Thomas Hall by his wife Jane.
Elizabeth Hall of New Lambton born 27th July 1799 and baptized on 6th October 1799 also at All Saints Penshaw. The 5th daughter of Thomas Hall (pitman) by his wife Jane Wolf (native of Gateshead Parish),
I am trying to make the link with Jonathan. New Lambton, Penshaw and Washington are all pretty close to each other.
I would welcome your comments and any further information regarding Thomas and Jane's other children.
Your help is very much appreciated - thank you.
