Emins & Wales

Two female lines who marry into the Errington family in the 18th Century.

Gladders

A less common name, but still one which has posed a problem.  The death of Henry Gladders does not tie in with any birth found.  

Collin

Ann Collin became the wife of John Mason, but little more is known about her.


Dawson

Mary Dawson was born in Washington in 1781.  She married in Wallsend.

Smith

Thomas,  born in Whickham in 1744, was the son of Ralph and Elizabeth.

Errington

Born in Gateshead in 1784, George eventually moved to Tynemouth.  His line has been traced back to a John Errington who married in 1733.


Nicholson

A native of Ebchester, Robert Nicholson was born in the late 1600s.

Mason

John Mason married in Easington in 1775.  Descendants moved to Wallsend.

Thompson

It seems impossible to research in this area without finding a Thompson on your tree!  Fortunately, this one is named Anthony, which is, at least, a little less common.
