My relative Christopher Waugh married Esther Smith 1862 Durham. HIs parents were Richard and Diana Morley Waugh.
I would love more information about Christopher's parents.
I appreciate any help.
Christopher is my Great, Great Grandfather.
Thank you

Hi Sharon, could we have a little more info please. When and where was Christopher born? Have you found him on any census? What are the names of his children and when/where were they born? Do you know what his occupation was, did he continue to live in Durham after his marriage?

Where did the parents name come from? I ask because there is a tree on Ancestry with different parents names.

My media item report tells me. Christopher Waugh was born 25 Oct 1839. entry no 2217.
His parents are as I listed.
An entry is in Army Register Book of births and baptisms.
Rank of Father. - Private

That child was Mary Jane, not Christopher, one of the documents has just the month incorrectly recorded.

Name Mary Jane Waugh
Gender Female
Christening Date 08 Dec 1839
Christening Place SAINT MARY MAGDALENE,WOOLWICH,KENT,ENGLAND
Birth Date 25 Nov 1839
Father's Name Richard Waugh

It looks to me like someone has confused Penrith in Cumberland with Penwith in Cornwall.

You might want to take a look at this family, the original looks more like WINSHELL to me:

Christopher, George and Mary seem to be the illegitimate children of Ann WAUGH but I don't have time to look for the others at the moment.
