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.
Reed
The Reed family trace back to the early years of the 1700s in Ebchester. Catherine Reed married into the Thompson family.
