      CHRISTENING:
      1. The following are on LDS IGI extracted christening records for Haydon Bridge, Northumberland per batch P002541, source film 0094994, printout 6905542. Additionally I was able to review another transcription at the Northumberland Records Office at Woodhorn for which I add the additional information in [brackets]. I also viewed the actual church records on FHL film 991796. In all cases, there was no Elizabeth recorded:
      16 Feb 1783, Isaac Burnhope, s. of Joseph [Woodhall Mill].
      18 Dec 1785, Joseph Burnop, s. of Joseph and Elisabeth [Woodhall Mill].
      23 Mar 1788, William Burnhope, s. of Joseph and Elizabeth [Woodhall Mill].
      21 Mar 1790, Thomas Burnhope, s. of Joseph and Elizabeth [Woodhall Mill].
      2 Jun 1794, Ann Burnhope, d. of Joseph and Elizabeth [Woodhall Mill].
      11 Oct 1796, Thomas Burnhope, s. of Joseph and Elizabeth [Woodhall Mill].
      14 Apr 1799 (b. 7 Apr 1799), Mary, d. of Joseph Burnhope and Elizabeth Muse [Woodhall Mill, Elizabeth native of this parish].
      10 Jan 1802 (b. 8 Nov 1801), Margaret, d. of Joseph Burnhope and Elizabeth Muse [Woodhall Mill, Elizabeth native of this parish].

      MARRIAGE:
      1. Unmarried.

      BURIAL:
      1. FHL film 991796, church records of Haydon Bridge: "Elizabeth, daugheter of Jospeh Burnhope of Haydon Bridge, d. 1 Oct 1809, bur. 3 Oct 1809, age 21." The age is probably wrong because she could not have been born in 1788. Her tombstone reports her age as 17.

      2. It appears that Joseph Burnhope, son or Isaac had this tombstone made for his father and three of his children. Tombstone sketched and described in FHL film 94994 at Haydon Bridge Church: "'Here Lieth the Body of Isaac Burnip of the Wood Hall Mill Who died Oct'r 1 1781 At 66 years. In memmory of Elisabeth Daughter of Jo. Burnhope ob. Oct'r 1 1809 at 17. Also Ann ob. 18th 1810 at 16. Also Jo His son ob Feb 10th 1813 Aged 27 years.'
      Headstone 24-1/2 x 2-3/8 x 32."

      3. From the book of indexed burial (1654-1812) transcripts in the Haydon Bridge parish church from my 23 Jun 2009 visit to the Society of Genealogists in London, England. Note that the place Woodhall is actually Woodhall Mill which still exists and which I visited. It sits by itself less than a mile east of Haydon Bridge on a small creek and has been recently divided and renovated into a small freehold of four homes while retaining the old name. It was an actual mill once owned by Lady Dentwent of the gentry. The Burnhopes were contract millers moving from one mill to the next depending on their contracts. Contemporary records of that time indicate that the Burnhopes were millers. There is nothing else in the near vicinity making it its own farm/mill in the countryside. Haydon Bridge would be the nearest parish church. The following are all of the individuals surnamed Burnhope or variation thereof for the period of time from 1654-1812. We can surmise that the Burnhopes first moved to the area by no later than 1785 when Joseph had a child christened there and that Isaac's son Joseph continued there until at least 1809 when his daughter Elizabeth is buried there. We can also link Joseph with Isaac since both are of the Woodhall Mill, a single farmstead. Being that Isaac died without a notation that he was the "son of," we can safely assume he was an adult and even though there is the possibility he could be a brother of Joseph, it is more likely in my opinion that he was the father:
      1781, Oct 4: Isaac Burnhope of Woodhall.
      1809, Oct 1: Elizabeth Burnhope, dau. of Joseph of Haydon Bridge, age 21.
      1790, Oct 25: Thomas Burnhope, son of Joseph of Woodhall.
      At the Northumberland Records Office, I was able to find the following entries in a book "Burial Transcriptions for Haydon Bridge Parish." Some of the entries are the same with slightly different transcriptions, but there are additional ones:
      1781, Oct 4: ___ Burnhope, Woodhall Mill. [This would be Isaac.]
      1790, Oct 25: Tho. Burnhope, son of Joseph at Woodhall Mill.
      1809, Oct 11: Elizabeth, dau. of Joseph, Haydon Bridge, 21. [Traditionally it was guessed that Elizabeth was born approx. 1792; however, judging from the next entry, 21 could be her age giving a birth year of about 1788 which does not play well with William's birth in 1788 unless they were twins.]
      1813, Feb 12: Joseph Burnhope, Haydon Bridge, 27. [27 is right for the age; son of Joseph and Eliz. Muse.]
      1836, Jun 27: Joseph Burnhope, Ingo Mill parish Stamfordshire. [Husband of Elizabeth Muse.]
