Robert Milburn and Elizabeth Kidd

In recreating a family tree from The Milburn Connection newsletters I ran into some situations that were not clear, or I found confusing.  So PLEASE let me know if I have misinterpreted or if new evidence has been discovered for any of these individuals.

The Milburn Connection Vol 1 1983 84 no. 3  page 8
We have 7 known children of Robert & Elizabeth Kidd Milburn:
(There are quite a few family trees of Robert & Elizabeth Kidd Milburn posted at familysearch.org with various spellings of the Milburn.  No documentation or records sourced on these trees, however.  Hopefully we can collaborate and find sources for this family and their events.)
  1. Margaret, born in Burnhope and christened 21 May 1774

    • On Ancestry.com, there is an index for "England, Pallot's Marriage Index, 1780 - 1837" which shows a marriage record for Margaret Milburn to John Peart, 1800.  If you have an Ancestry.com World Membership it can be found here.
    • Additionally, Ancestry.com also shows an index for Margaret's marriage to John Peart in the "England, Select Marriages, 1538–1973".   If you have an Ancestry.com World Membership it can be found here.  It provides the exact date of marriage as 22 November 1800, at Stanhope, Durham, England.
    • See "The Registers of Stanhope" below for further marriage info.  Margaret and her brother John were married on the same day.
    • If anyone has obtained copies of the records these indexes reference, I would love to have a copy.
    • Death, burial, and family info have not been researched and documented at this time, but there is a PUBLIC tree at Ancestry.com which indicates names and dates of their immediate family.

  2. John born at Black Cleugh farm, christened 06 January 1776
    • See "The Registers of Stanhope" below for further marriage info.  John and his sister Margaret were married on the same day.  John married Mary Emerson.  According to The Milburn Connection, John dies in 1803, leaving just one daughter, Margaret, born in 1801. (The Milburn Connection Vol 1 1983 84 no. 3 page 8)
    • Additional death, burial, and family info have not been researched and documented at this time.
  3. Elizabeth born at Black Cleugh farm, christened 20 June 1778
    •  Elizabeth marries Joseph Peart shortly after her father's death in 1800. (The Milburn Connection Vol 1 1983 84 no. 3 page 8). See "The Registers of Stanhope" below for further marriage info.
    • A public tree at Ancestry.com shows a copy of a death certificate for Elizabeth Milburn Peart, wife of Joseph Peart.  
    • There is also an archived query posted on genealogy.com about this family.
  4. Jeremiah born at Black Cleugh farm, christened 4 June 1780
    • Jeremiah is my g-g-g-grandfather
    • Jeremiah was born 24 June 1774 and christened the 4th of June 1780 (The Millburn Connection Vol 1 1983 84 no. 3 page 6)
    • Jeremiah married Sarah Smith the 4th of December 1808.  FamilySearch.org shows the index for "England Marriages, 1538-1973" here.
    • On Ancestry.com, there is an index for "England, Pallot's Marriage Index, 1780 - 1837" which shows a marriage record for Jeremiah Milburn and Sarah Smith, here.
    • I was fortunate enough to visit Curryville Cemetery in Hillsborough, Albert County, New Brunswick, Canada in 2002 with my sister.  There is a findagrave.com page which shows the gravestone for Jeremiah, wife, Sarah, their son Robert, and his wife Susannah.
    • The original Milburn Connection focused on the descendants of Jeremiah and Sarah so there will be much more info on his descendants in future posts.
