Find Ancestors

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.

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

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

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

Thank you for your work

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?

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

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?

I know Joseph was born in Northumberland, and not Durham
