Notes about John Wealleans Z1

BIRTH:

Evidence to support the view that John Wealleans b Wooler 1793 is a son of John and Anna Wealleans.

Firstly, a geographical context. Hulne Park is the hunting and shooting park belonging to the Duke of Northumberland. It is a walled area of several thousand acres astride the river Aln, stretching from near the gates of Alnwick Castle westwards. Public access is severely restricted (still!) to 9 – 5 daily (except some shooting days) and along only three pathways. There are only handful of buildings within along with a ruined Priory and a folly, Brizlee Tower (recently restored by English Heritage, a publicly funded body). Public access is not allowed to these.

Within this park, a branch of the Wealleans family lived and worked for much of the 19th century. When my gg grandfather William (sp. Weallans) was christened at the nearby Alnwick Pottersgate Presbyterian Church in 1806, he was living in the curiously named Necessity Lodge within the park. His older sister, born 3 years earlier was

christened at the same time suggesting the family moved there from Reavely Green around 1803. Reavely Green is a single cottage on the hills above the Ingram Valley (river Breamish). Necessity Lodge was the lodge to the Friars' Well Buildings at the northern edge of the park. It changed its name 1860/70/80 sometime to Friars' Well Lodge.

In 1810 another child Joseph was born to John and Anna, still living at Necessity Lodge, born 2/3/1810 at Pottersgate Presb.

On 7/12/1814, Ann (sp. Whillans) was born at Pottersgate Presb., a child to John and MARY, living at Necessity Lodge. IF this John was the suggested b. 1793, son of John and Anna, he would of course be 21 years old, certainly old enough to be presenting the family with a grandson in Necessity Lodge. John and Mary, still in Necessity, born Walter Whillans on 25/10/1816 and born Joseph Edimson Whillans 4/4/1818 at Pottersgate Presb., and on 23/11/1819 born Elizabeth Whillans in the same circumstances.

On 4/9/1823, they born Robert Wealens at the Presb. church at Glanton. Then they were living at Lowfield Thrunton, (N. of Whittingham, E. of Glanton). On 21/8/1825, they born John Weallens, same church and location with father John desribed as a farmer.(On 1/11/1824 a Robert Wealleans and wife Mary born their son John, Robert was a farmer at Thrunton Lowfield - John and Anna had a son Robert c. 1801)

Looks to me like a family staying together. Meanwhile, back at Necessity Lodge in the Friars Buildings "next door" lived James and Catherine Wellans (sometime Wellands), who born George (Welans)31/9/1842, Elizabeth (Wellans)2/6/1844, Edward (Wellans) 24/5/1846 and Catherine (Wellands)26/5/1848, all at Pottersgate Presb. John and Anna had a son James.

By the time of the 1861 census in Hulne Park, James Weallens b 1799 Ingram (Reavely Green), Catherine and 7 of the many were in Friars Well Cottage; Robert Weallans b 1802 Ingram (widowed) and daughter Elizabeth b 1830 were in East Brizlee Cottage as were a William Whellens b 1811 Rothbury (who???) with wife Jane and 5.

I hyp therefore that John WAS part of the same family, moved to Necessity Lodge with his parents et al, started his own family in there before moving to work with his brother at Thrunton Lowfield. I know that someone will still have to go to Berwick-upon-Tweed Archives Office and see BUR/P/16 records from Wooler Cheviot Presb. but if I were a betting man..........
