(This baptism would seem to be that of ‘the carrier’s’ son James, but if Henry Weatherburn who m. Anne Tindal at Belford in 1742 (q.v.) is ‘the carrier’, as seems likely, he had 3 sons, not 2 - the others being Thomas (bap. 1742 - who was buried at Norham on 2/1/1831, aged 88) & Henry (bap. 1745 - who was buried at Norham on 21/5/1833, aged 88), so James was the youngest, not ‘younger’, son.] - “James went to Longridge and was for some years in charge of the toll-bar, where he died 1825-35.

Africa in 1820 with his wife and five children, and that Christopher’s grandson William (b. 1830) and his great-grandson George Richard (b. 1866) gave different versions of Christopher’s parentage but indicated that the family left Scotland after, and because of a connection with, the ’45: “William speaks of his great-grandfather being a farmer, or landed proprietor, perhaps of some importance”. William said that Christopher was the youngest child of a family of 8 sons & a daughter. (2 daughters & 7 sons - including a James b. after Christopher - have been identified. - See m. 1755) - Christopher is said to have m. Ann Quail ‘about 1799’ but Christopher Weatherburn m. Ann Quail at Manchester in 1795 (q.v.). - Their 8 children were all baptised as ‘Weatherburn’ at St. James’s Church, Manchester. In a “History of the Wedderburn family in South Africa”, written by Christopher’s g. grandson George Richard (b. 1866), it indicates that before he emigrated to S. Africa Christopher was a Tailor at 70 Liverpool Street, Manchester: Christopher & Ann Wedderburn, & their 5 [surviving] children, went to S. Africa in the settlers’ ship “Stentor” in 1820. At first they lived at “Green Fountain” but in 1837 Christopher bought a farm near Salem on which he built a house he named “Lindale” after his birthplace. It was here that Christopher died on 18/7/1848, and was buried in Salem Cemetery. - Ann died on 14/7/1856 and was buried beside her husband. (‘Notes on the Wedderburn Family’.) - There are certain discrepancies between the various accounts. (See ‘Chriswed.doc’ for fuller details.) - Many of Christopher & Ann’s descendants are living in S. Africa and others in England. (One of the latter believes that Christopher’s father was a ‘Scrymgeour-Wedderburn’.)

Berwick-on-Tweed’] was b. c1787 at Norham, Northumberland. - In “The Wedderburns in Glasgow & later in Edinburgh” (W.B. pp. 495-96), ‘A.W.’ suggests that Thomas (senior) “may be a descendant of a Thomas W. who m. Jean Ker at Glasgow and had a son William bap. on 26/6/1735 at Glasgow, and probably other issue”. Thomas is said to have had two brothers, one of whom, David, was killed out hunting, while the other (William?) is reported to have settled at Montrose or Arbroath. [See m. of Thomas & Jean Ker on 7/2/1734] - Thomas (junior), ‘of Berwick & Edinburgh’, became a Coachman. - ‘A.W.’ states: “Thomas m. Jane Cockburn, daughter of David Cockburn of Berwick-on-Tweed, by his wife Dorothy ---, and died in Glasgow where he is buried in the Southern Necropolis”.

Jane Cockburn at Lamberton Toll c1806 (q.v.). They had 6 sons & 3 daughters: Thomas (b. c1807); David (b. 1809); Peter (b. 1811); twins Andrew (b. 1815) & John (d. 1816); Frances (‘Fanny’, bap. 1817); another John (b. 1821); & Jane (b. 1827) - all except the eldest son were bap. in Northumberland but some of the details given on W.B. pp. 495-496 (supplied by a son-in-law of one of Thomas & Jane’s daughters) are misleading. [See details under Thomas’s m. to Jane in 1806.] - Jane Weatherburn, ‘wife of a labourer’, died at 102 Graeme St., Glasgow, on 23/8/1860, aged 83. - Andrew Wedderburn, son, was present. Jane was buried in the Southern Necropolis, Glasgow. Thomas Weatherburn died at Seghill, Northumberland, on 24/4/1861, aged 74. - John Richardson was in attendance. Thomas Weatherburn was a witness at the m. of a George Cockburn to Mary Carr at St. Nicholas, Newcastle upon Tyne, on 31/7/1768. He was also a witness at the m. of a William Carr to Catherine Cooper there on 28/4/1772. (The surname ‘Ker’ is often spelt ‘Carr’ in Northumberland - and ‘Wedderburn’ as ‘Weatherburn’. - It seems possible that this Thomas is Thomas’s father, and that the Thomas who m. Jean Ker in 1734 was his grandfather.)]

[Adam, a Coachman in Manchester, is a brother of Christopher Weatherburn (bap. 1772), who emigrated to S. Africa in 1820 as Christopher Wedderburn, with his wife & 5 children, although their relationship is not made clear in the W.B., where it says only that Christopher’s brother Adam ‘died from a fall from a horse’.] - In the W.B., it shows that Adam had 2 sons & 2 daughters, but he had more than that. His e.s., John Wedderburn (b. c1795, q.v.), was living in Manchester in 1833 and in that year he wrote a letter to his cousin William Wedderburn in S. Africa (William Weatherburn, bap. 1800 in Manchester), in which John says that ‘his eldest sister Mary Ann has died’. [These 2 children are not shown in the W.B.] - Adam had 5 children bap. in ‘Manchester Cathedral’ (it was the collegiate church in 1795 and only received cathedral rank in 1848, on the erection of the see of Manchester) but John & Mary Ann are not amongst them. - The baptisms found are those of Elizabeth (1802); Harriet (1805 - who cannot be the Harriet ‘who m. George Kershaw in 1859 & had two sons’, as is indicated in the W.B.); Jane (1807); Richard Coxter W. (1809 - ‘Coxter’ may be a mis-transcription of ‘Baxter’); & Adam (1810). – Their daughter Matilda’s baptism does not appear but she is said in the W.B. to be Adam’s younger daughter ‘b. 1817/18’. (Matilda m. William Warren in 1838, q.v.). - Harriet ‘born 1820’ (who was living with Ann Wedderburn in 1841) is shown as the elder daughter. (Her baptism cannot be found but it was she who m. George Kershaw in 1859, q.v.).] - In the W.B. it is stated that Adam’s son John ‘m. Mary Walthur and died s.p. at Altrincham Cheshire, aged 46, on 24 Aug. 1814’, but he died in 1841. In W.B. it is stated that “Adam Wedderburn, a Coachman in Manchester, died c1825 and is buried in St. John’s churchyard, Deansgate, Manchester. His wife Ann died there in 1847, aged 70”. However, the records show that Adam Weatherburn was buried at St. John’s, Deansgate, on 3/8/1824, aged 57 (which makes it clear that Adam is the son of John W. & Ann Hodgson who was bap. in 1768). - In the 1841 Census, Ann Wedderburn, ‘aged 65’ (‘not b. in the county’), was living at 23 Dumville St., Manchester, Lancs., with Harriet ‘aged 20’ (‘b. in the county’). - Ann Wedderburn died at that address on 23/3/1847, aged 76.

(Witnesses were John Bleasdale - 2nd husband of Jane Postlethwaite, née Wetherburn - William’s elder sister (bap. 1755) - & Robert Gorrel. William, a Mariner, is the eldest brother of Christopher Wedderburn (bap. 1772) who emigrated to South Africa in 1820 , with his wife & 5 children, as Christopher Wedderburn but this is not indicated on W.B. p. 505. - There it says only that William & Ann’s - i.e. ‘Nancy’s’ - e.s. William (bap. 3/12/1797, q.v.) “is no doubt the William Wedderburn who became a mariner and moved to West Derby near Liverpool”. - William & ‘Nancy’ had 2 daughters & 3 sons: Ann (bap. 1795); William (bap.1798, q.v.); Robert (bap. 1801, q.v.); Jane (bap. 1802, d. 1806) & Christopher (bap. 1805, q.v.). - William died ‘before 1833’.

Ann Quail on 6/7/1795 at Manchester Cathedral. [A family-tree produced in S. Africa in 1866 shows that Christopher m.

Ann Quail at Manchester in 1795.] - Christopher, a Tailor in Manchester, & Ann had 8 children bap. at St. James, Manchester: Christopher (1798, d. young); William (1800); Ann (1802); Jane (1804, d. young); Ellen (1807, d. young); George (1809); Elizabeth (1811) & Esther (1814).] - In 1820, Christopher emigrated to S.

On W.B. p. 510, ‘A.W.’ says that Christopher’s grandson, William (b. 1830), and his great-grandson, George Richard (b. 1866), gave different versions of Christopher’s parentage. “George said that Christopher’s father’s name was William but William said that it was John”. (Later on, he states that William said that Christopher’s father and grandfather were named Adam or Alexander ‘but he didn’t know which was which’.) “William further said that Christopher married a lady of the name of Gray or Grey and indicated that the family left Scotland after, and because of a connection with, the ’45. William spoke of his great-grandfather having been a farmer or landed proprietor perhaps of some importance”. [See David Webster’s Will re the Hon. Barbara Gray!] - According to William, his grandfather Christopher was the youngest child of a family of 8 sons & a daughter & among Christopher’s several brothers were George ‘who went to India’, John and William ‘who went to America’, another, ‘whose name he could not give, who went to Australia’, and yet another, Adam, ‘who died from a fall from a horse’. (See Adam W. bap. 1768, m. 1795.) - In a “History of the Wedderburn Family in South Africa” (written by George Richard, who died in 1948), there was another brother, Alexander, who ‘became a sugar-planter in Jamaica’. (See Alexander Wedderburn, 1762) - William added that Christopher had a nephew, John, ‘who was living in Manchester in 1833’. (See John b. c1795 & his letter.) - There are discrepancies between the various accounts. - Many of Christopher & Ann’s descendants are living in S. Africa and others in England. (One of the latter believes that Christopher’s father was a ‘Scrymgeour-Wedderburn’.)

John is the grandfather of Alexander Wedderburn, author of the ‘W.B.’. - In 1824, John published a “Genealogical Account of the Wedderburn family” which his grandson, ‘A.W.’, found to be ‘full of errors’, as also was John’s subsequent unpublished MS. - He says that ‘J.W.’ “noted the existence of a family in the North of England but gave no precise details, although he at once assumed for them a descent, eminently characteristic of his genealogical work”. In his MS., his grandfather wrote: “I once had a trace of a family named Wedderburn in the North of England. They were poor people, one of the sons was a postillion between Weldone Bridge and Whittington in 1810…. It is not too much to assume a descent for some of these poor people from William of Wedderburn, who was located in the village of Blacater in 1426…….”.
