BETHWAITE MARTIN
- Cumberland (County, CUL, England)
William and Jane (MARTIN) BETHWAITE married 6 March 1819 at All Saints, Cockermouth, Cumberland, they had 9 children together, my 2nd Gt. Grandmother Ann BETHWAITE b. 1826 @ Flimby, was twin sister to Jane BETHWAITE, their siblings are Joseph BETHWAITE, b. 1819, Sarah BETHWAITE, b. 1824, Margaret BETHWAITE, b. 1828, William BETHWAITE, b. 1830, Robert BETHWAITE, b.1832, Zillah BETHWAITE, b. 1835, John BETHWAITE, b. 1837. Ann BETHWAITE married Charles GRAHAM b. 1825c Scotland 1850c, their 1st child being born Aug 1851 and Baptised Dec 1851 at Flimby. We have been unable to locate their marriage also Ann's death after July 1861 which is the date of birth of the last child George GRAHAM he was born at Cramlington, Northumberland, we next find the family on the 1871 Census living in Hetton, County Durham, by this time Charles GRAHAM has a new wife, so we have to presume that Ann is now deceased, again we cannot locate the 2nd marriage which may have taken place in Northumberland or County Durham. I would like to hear from anyone who may have a link to any the above details.
