Matthew EMMERSON
Set As Default Person -
Name Matthew EMMERSON Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1778 Tanfield, Co. Durham, England
- (assumed from baptism)
Baptised 26 Jul 1778 St. Margaret’s Church, Tanfield, Co. Durham, England
- From PR entry, shown as "Matthew Son of George Emmerson Junr. Beckly"
Gender Male Died - Probably between 1821 and 1841 (based on baptism of last known child and not being with his wife in the 1841 census).
The death of one 'Matthew Emerson' was registerd in Q2 1841 in Chester le Street Reg District, but he is shown as aged 43 in the GRO online index, too young for this Matthew (unless an error)
Buried 28 Feb 1833 Westgate Hill Cemetery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland, England
- Probably this Matthew, age given as 55 (transcribed data on the NBI, 3rd edn.)
(There were 2 other Matthews of similar age in this part of the country, but this one was clearly living in Newcastle around this time, so he is the most likely).
