Mary Faulder married to David Johnston, Blacksmith in Allonby

I received a somewhat brief comment from a researcher who was:

Looking into David Johnston marriage to Mary Faulder. David was Blacksmith 1871 census in Allonby Cumbria

Email comment sent in by Dwight Donaldson 23 April 2022 (UK Time, possibly 22 April in US)

Within my research into “Unlinked Faulders”, I had a number of Mary Faulders who could have been adults around 1871 in the Allonby area of Cumberland.

As so often is the case this did not turn out as straightforward as one might hope.

Inter-relationships of other surnames marrying into the Family

Investigating other surnames marrying into the Family – particularly where there are two people of a particular surname marrying in – raising the question as to whether they are related.

  • Forster surnames: Annie (m Joseph Faulder 1919), Eliza (m Edward Norman 1856)
  • Graham surnames: Elizabeth (m George Blaylock 1828), Deborah (m William Faulder 1921), Janet (m Thomas James 1706?)
  • Jackson surnames: Ann (m Robert Faulder 1754), William (m Hannah Faulder 1858),
  • James surnames: Edward (m Mary Falder 1738), Elizabeth (m William Blaylock 1765?), Thomas (m Eleanor Faulder 1855)
  • Pattinson surnames: John (m Catherine Faulder 1855, m Elizabeth Faulder 1859), John Lawson (m Mary Faulder 1900).
    • Catherine and Elizabeth Faulder were sisters, and consequently John’s second marriage was, at that time, illegal. The 1835 Deceased Wife’s Sister Act (Lord Lyndhurst’s Act) made such unions illegal until it was repealed by the 1907 Deceased Wife’s Sister’s Marriage Act.
  • Story surnames: Emily (m Joseph Sewell Faulder 1882), Annie (m Tom Clark 1929)
