      2. Per my review of a transcription of Hexham Christening records, it appears that only the first three children of Isaac Burnhope and Elizabeth Charlton were chr. in Hexham per the following entries:
      21 Oct 1832, William Burnhope, son of Isaac, hind, and Elizabeth of Sunnyside.
      9 Jul 1837, Joseph Burnhope, son of Isaac, labourer, and Elizabeth of the parish.
      Mary Ann is not under the surname Burnhope, but is under the name misspelled name Burnett.
