You are right DetecTive, that is the only info I have. I was trying to find out if she could have been an ancester, as I know we had Glendennings with, I believe, an ale company in the early 1900's but cannot seem to find anything about them. I am pretty new at this as you can probably tell.

I didn't get my message sent before receiving even more info. Thanks for all your help.

:-D - Rambina only seems to know that she was the landlady of the Glendenning Arms in 1839. The marriage you spotted was earlier than that

Thank you all for your imput. Thank you Margee for your information, this seems to be the one that fits the bill.

Oops I thought Glendenning was her maiden name.

Possible death? Chester le Street district covers Witton Gilbert.

McAlp - she'd have been Betty/Elizabeth Wrathall, if that was the case ;-)

In-putting marriages of Elizabeth to a Glendenning 1814 +/- 10 gives to results - you have to pay to view.

'abt 1798' probably meant that she was Of Full Age ie 21 or over, but may not be the correct person

Was she married to
Thomas Wrathall ?

Looking at the image, she was a widow, so Glendenning was her husbands surname.

Is this her in 1851? Occupation was publican.

For our info, "Witton Gilbert /'d??lb?rt/ is a village and civil parish in County Durham, England. It is situated to the north-west of Durham."

Does anyone have any information about the above named, living in Witton Gilbert in 1839, landlady of the Glendenning Arms? Birth, death, was she married, did she have children?
