This site gives info on Heighinton

 

Hi Kaye I THINKwith the Army records we found that John was Born Around 1804.In Heighton County Durham.His Marriage Was not Listed In Heighton Records ,But i think i may have found Johns Father and Mother.

Hi Father was listed as John Garmonsway, He Married an Ann Carter 16th Jan 1878

 Marriages from the Heighington Registers (1570-1837.

I know YOUR JOHN also Married an Ann. But this one would be Earlier.Your john would have Married around   1820 to 1825. This is the Only name listed in these registers.It only gives Marriages

Hello Mike

 

Wow!!!  I am constantly amazed at the information you have found for me.

 

Your a SUPERSTAR..

 

Thank you once again

 

Kaye

Hi Kaye your welcome

 

Mike

WOW! This was certainly interesting to read.

Good luck and best regards Patzy C.

Hi Kaye have you managed to sift through Everything yet.It was certainly a lot for you to take in.Just shows What info can really be found from a Will.

The Death cert helped a lot,As it enabled us to find.James in the Army School.so tracking family to Durham.

Without you getting that Cert,I Think family would have taken a lot longer to find..

 

Not sure how you would go about Finding out out Johns full family other than parish records.The Heighington Records,Dont give a lot Away

 

Mike

No problem, Kaye.  You're very welcome.

 

So glad Mike was able to find your elusive family for you.

 

Best wishes

Marian

Hello Mike

 

Still working on my Gamersway side.  I am waiting on a couple of BDM's before i put everything into my tree.  I like to have documents to back-up my/your findings. 

 

I may have another one for you soon.  I have a Hope family....my mother's side.  Quite a bit of info but i am confused none-the-less.  Will post details soon.  I'm sure you will be able to help.

 

Hope your well

 

Kaye
