Southern

The Southerns are very confusing. There seem to be two lots of them and, as yet, I have not established any link between them - though there may well be one:

  • Thomas Southern b abt 1635
  • m Isabel
  • .....Thomas Southern, b abt 1660, Edlingham, Nbl
  • .....m Fortune Crisp, 12 June 1682 (PR)
  • .....John, b 1668, Edl m 1694 d 1738
  • .....Mary b 1672, Edl d 1681, Edl
  • .....Samuel b 1673 d 1673, Edl
  • .....Daniel b 1674, Edl d 1682, Edl
  • .....Dorothy b 1675m 1700
  • ..........Alice, bapt. 30 Jul 1683, Edlingham (PR)

  • ...............m Henry Coxon, of Whittingham, 31 May 1759 (PR)
  • ...............Abraham, bapt 5 Aug 1734, Edlingham (PR)
  • ...............Benjamine, bapt 28 Apr 1737, Edlingham (PR)
  • ...............Thomas (I have a burial date for Thos, s.o. Jane Southern, but no birth date)

Now comes the second lot:

  • James Southern, Clerk
  • m Mary Revely, 1809, Newcastle upon Tyne St Nicholas
  • .....William, b 18 Sept 1818, South Shields
  • .....m Mary Ann Proctor, 4 Nov 1845, Wallsend
  • ..........William Andrew 1846-1867
  • ..........James Proctor 1849-1930
  • ..........John Thomas 1850-1851
  • ..........John Thomas 1852-1928
  • ..........Emma Revely 1853-1933
  • ..........Mary Eleanor Revely 1854-1862
  • ..........Septimus 1856
  • ..........Edmund Octavius 1857-1930
  • ..........Catherine Ida 1859-1910
  • ..........Isabella Revely 1860-1930

This interesting post script is in the record of Monumental Inscriptions following the entry for William and several of the familty: "Wm Southern was a timber merchant. He had lost his left hand. He and W.S. Lishman and John O Scott and my father Mw S Dodds were great friends. John Thos and Jas Proctor Southern carried on the Quayside business. John Thomas when cycling was run into and killed by a motor car near the Ulleswater Hotel. The cycle skidded and he was thrown on to the road in front of W. Parker Brewis's motor car"
