Margaret Dowson - family history
Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2020 8:36pm
Hi
I have to Egglestone walking today and it re-kindled my interest in family history. My great great grandmother was Margaret Dowson born in Egglestone in 1801. She married John Leng a shoe maker from Guisborough at St Mary's Church Whitby and died in London in 1868. I am wondering why she would move from Egglestone to Whitby and then to London.
Any background to the area at that time or information on Margaret would be greatly appreciated
Kind regards
Jean Patton
