• Notes

  RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. In reviewing the christening entries for Haydon Bridge as I was working on Elizabeth Muse who married Joseph Burnhope, her 1761 christening is the only entry for a child of Michael of Elrington in the Haydon Bridge chapelry, or for that matter any other Michael between 1748 and 1804 (after which I stopped checking). Children of Michael occurring before 1748 all belong to the evidently separate Michael and Ann Bell of the following entry - Ancestry.com's "England and Wales Marriage Records, 1538-1940," marriage in Haydon, Northumberland of Michael Mewis and Ann Bell, 29 May 1732 and from my research their children seem to be pretty much all accounted for between 1732 to 1748. We definitely have two separate Michaels in the same parish at the same time. The burial records of Haydon Bridge also confirm this as does the christening record for Michael Muse in 1734. 2. Christenings from Haydon Bridge (FHL film 991796) for children of Michael Mewis: -4 Jan 1732/1733, Mary, dau. of Michael Mewis of High house. -29 Sep 1734, Michael, son of Michael Muis of Haydon Bridge. -8 May 1737, Nicholas, son of Michael Mewis of Haydon Bridge. -4 May 1740, Thomas, son of Michael Mewis of Haydon Bridge. -23 Sep 1744, John, son of Michael Mewis of Dean Raw. - 3 Apr 1748, Ann, dau. of Michael Mewis of Dean Raw. CHRISTENING: 1. Christenings from Haydon Bridge (FHL film 991796) for children of Michael Mewis: -4 Mar 1699/1700, Isabell, dau. of Michael Muis of Chester Wood. [The entry is written twice. On the bottom of one page it is very faint and basically unreadable following the date of 4 Mar of the previous entry with no day given specifically for Isabell - hence it should be 4 Mar as if it were dittoed. It was written again on the top of the next page as if the curate knew he done a bad job on the previous page, but it is with no day given. IGI extracted it as 5 Mar, but I see no number 5 with Isabell falling between 4 Mar and 6 Mar.] -2 Feb 1700/1701, Isabel, dau. of Michael Mewis of Chesterwood. -25 Apr 1703, Jno., son of Michael Muis of Chesterwood. -24 Dec 1704, Catherine, dau. of Michael Muis of Chesterwood. -18 Feb 1706/1707, Michael, son of Mich. Mewers of Haydon Bridge. -27 Apr 1709, Tho., son of Michael Mewers of Haydon Bridge. -25 Feb 1710/1711, Nicholas, son of Michael Muis of Haydon Bridge. -20 Jan 1713/1714, Ann, daughter of Michael Mewis of Haydon Bridge. MARRIAGE: 1. The marriage records for Haydon Bridge church (FHL film 991796): "29 May 1732, Michael Mewis and Ann Bell." BURIAL: 1. Apparently there are two Michael Mewises in Haydon Bridge at one time as the following entries make clear from FHL film 991796, Haydon Bridge church burial records. The first two would be the parents-in-law for Margaret also shown below. -"24 Feb 1772, Michael Mewis of Haydon Bridge." -"Ann, widow of the late Michael Mewis of Haydon Bridge, bur. 23 Mar 1772." -"Margaret, wife of Michael Mewis of Haydon Bridge, bur. 23 Apr 1773." (The 3 in 23 is disputable and may be a 0 to make 20.)
