I know Joseph was born in Northumberland, and not Durham

Even if she was 18 when she married her first child was born when she was approx 40? so that is why I said maybe there were more children which had perhaps married before 1841 or died?

Could be the birth date is not accurate, and using that as a guide etc

Seems strange to marry in1789 aged approx 13 and not start having children until almost 40? as most families back then had at least 10 children...whether they lived or not , thats another story?

jax

I am not sure if there were anymore siblings/children prior to 1841

Thank you for your work

Could they not have had more children that had moved out by 1841?

The family as mentioned above are all in the 1841 census: Joseph, Ann, Elizabeth, Robert, Jane and Ann.

Having another check on the alternative website www.familysearch.org, i have come across another Joseph Bewick who was buried 12 Nov 1851 in Holy Trinity South Shields, Northumberland, England....

Joseph's father is called Robert, again I am not sure where he is from but looking on the named website he married a lady called Elizabeth.

The whole reason why I am trying to trace my paternal line is to see if there is a link between my family and the family of Sir Thomas Bewick, who was born in Cherryburn Northumberland......

Thanks

I too am thinking that the first Ann died and Joseph has re-married to another Ann. It just seems strange that the birth dates of the children are so much later than the original marriage.

Ok, so let us try and work back from what you know is correct and see where that gets us........

Thats the 1841 census in Northumberland

Whilst looking for Joseph Bewick on an alternative site, www.familysearch.org and I have come across this, and think I have hit a dead wall....

The 1841 census is correct in the information that i already have

On the 1841, Ann could be anything up to 69 years old.

In the 1841 Census a policy of rounding down ages was in place. As such, people aged:

•15-19 were recorded as 15
•20-24 were recorded as 20
•25-29 were recorded as 25
•30-34 were recorded as 30
•35-39 were recorded as 35
...... etc

Also, the baptisms may have been some time after the birth.

Looking at the dates of birth of the children ie 1815-1822, I'm wondering if Joseph married a different Ann????

I am not a 100% sure if Joseph died in 1835 as he is mentioned in the 1841 census, it would seem impossible

thanks all

i've just been going from the census, 1841 Ann states her birth was 1776 and Joseph 1774, residing in the Castle Ward - Ponteland district

If this is the marriage, it states that Ann is a Minor (so birth of 1776 is a possibility)...unfortunately no father's names!

as she married in 1789 her birth is more likely to be around 1771

I know you are looking for Ann but I've come across this baptism for Joseph Bewick which, if you haven't got it, may be of interest
