Find Ancestors

trying to find where this family may of lived after 1825
Their children are Thomas 1827, Peter 1831 Alexander 1836' I think this all the children they had.
Smith being such a common name cant seem to find the parents for Thomas or his birthdate.
Can someone help me if they know.

Many thanks.
Margaret

This HAS to be them in 1841 ....................... but with many more children than you think!!


Anna, Anne and Annie are common alternatives for Hannah


Remember that the ages of people over the age of 15 are almost always rounded down to the nearest 5 in the 1841 Census

(if the above)

familysearch has images of Bishops Transcripts for Hunstanworth - the images may give more info than the above transcriptions:

https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1309819

You do have to browse through the images - there is no search facility.

Thomas and Anna's marriage is on image 137 of the Hunstanworth records

Image 144 has Mary and Thomas's baptisms, with mother's name given as Anna Hutchinson. I have found a baptism for a John Hutchinson in Hunstanworth with parents Peter and Susannah - two of the children's names - lots of info on it. Have to go for lunch now will post the details shortly.

John's baptism is on image 74.

4th son, B March 7 1808, bap July 30 1809. Father, Peter, Lead-Miner, Nat of Shotley; mother Susannah Thompson, daughter of Jonathan Thompson, nat of Alston.

Thank you Potty and and Chris for your input as well. I am quite overwhelmed with the feedback.
Cheers Guys.
