My g-g-g grandfather was from Monroe County, Ohio. His name was either William George or George William. Some of his children moved to Virginia (now W. Va.) One was named Absolom Charlton. Absolom and my gg grandfather, Charles A. had a brother named John R. Charlton who eventually settled in Cincinnati.
Is this your John, or your John's father?

Yes I am in OZ. I work in Adelaide (I was born and grew up there) for 3 weeks, then go home in Victoria for 10 days. My family research is still going well. I am also investigating my mother's father's family in Scotland.
I have today received my grandfather's birth certificate. His father was William Charlton, and his wife was Ann nee Charlton. Now that is going to be interesting! I'll have to look the census forms and see if there is more family around. I think my grandfather also had a brother called Jack (maybe John). My father also had an aunt called Maggie. I remember her and have photos of her. So I presume she is my grandfathers sister.
My grandfather was worn at another farm - not far from the Pear Tree Farm - about a five minute drive!
I must contact the Durham Council about who owned the farms.
Well still more to sort out. I really want to pick up my grandmother's line. There must be some still in England. I would like to go to England next year and visit these people and places. I think I will have to place a separate board for her family.
Well back to the research!

Vincent Proctor Charlton lived on the west coast of SA as did his son Proctor Vincent Charlton, thats where I get my Vincent from. I will have to contact my Niece in Streaky Bay for an update.I beleive that my Grandfather was a farmer in County Durham before migrating. My father was only 12 when he left England, and he eventually became a farmer at Wanilla on Eyre peninusilar SA. I live in Queensland now.Reading between the lines it looks as if you are in OZ too?
Looking forward to more correspondence.

Hi Mary Lou,
I'm new to this so forgive me if this is wrong but I can't see the link at the moment. The Harry Charlton that is in our family lived in Lancashire, England, born 1825 - not sure but think in Lancashire also. His son-in-law Thomas Hargreaves, is reputedly part Irish but more than that I don't yet know. Pearl (my Aunt) posted about this in May but seems to not be responding to messages here. I've written to her by post to see if she can shine more light on this as I have no other knowledge yet, being a total beginner. If a link seems more likely, I'll let you know. Is there any possibility that you can see here, as an old hand at this?
Thanks so much for your reply.
Bws Hannah

Yes - very interesting indeed. We have a Vincent Proctor Charlton in our family tree too, and he came to Adelaide, South Australia but in 1949. There was a Proctor Charlton living over on the west coast of South Australia. I often heard people talking about him when I was younger - I wonder if this is your Vincent Charlton. He was supposed to be my grandfather's cousin. If so then our grandfathers share a common grandfather.
The Vincent Proctor Charlton I know is my grandfather's brother(he was born in 1901, and married Mildred Grace Bertram in 1932). They also had another brother Jack ( maybe John. I don't think Jack migrated out here.
But we have a definite link. My uncle ( father's brother - was also born at Pear Tree Farm, Chopwell (up the road from Blackhall Mill - about a 1km I think) in 1916, the same year his parents were married. Where are you? I wonder if the Durham council have records of land ownership. When my grandfather migrated, his occupation was listed as farm steward. I suppose that means he didn't own the land, but worked it for someone else. Odd though about the Pear Tree Farm! Too much of a coincidence.
I have also found out that my great grandfather i.e. Alfred's father was William Charlton and his wife was Ann - and I'm told she was a McLeod. But I have ordered the wedding certificate, and that should tell me that.
Well I think we will be in contact again! In fact I'm certain!

Your information is very interesting. My Grandfather Vincent Proctor Charlton was born in County Durham 1880 and his father was a John Charlton born around 1842 and his wife was an Elizabeth Charlton.Family at 1881 census consisted of Thomas, Isabella, Ann, Margaret, Elizabeth, John and Vincent(all siblings). My Grandfather married Sarah Jane Hogg 26th October 1899 and were listed as living at Pear Tree Farm, Chopwell? My father George Leslie Charlton, born County Durham 11th June 1914. Vincent Proctor and family migrated to Australia in 1926 and lived in South Australia.
Is this a mere coincident or is there a conection here somewhere.

Now I have much more information.
My grandfather was Alfred Peter Charlton. He was born in 1894/5. His father is William Charlton, who was listed as being a farmer. He married Elizabeth Carroll in March 1916. He was working at on the Pear Tree Farm, Blackhall Mill, Durham, and that is where they lived immediately after they were married. He was 22 and she was 22 when they were married. My uncle, Albert Robson Charlton was born at the farm in August 1916. My father - Edward was born on the 22nd of June, 1918, at the Lane Head Cottage, Ebchester. The family moved to Australia in November 1924, and when they moved they were living at The Loft House Farm, Lintz Lane, Burnopfield.
Prior to her marriage Elizabeth Carroll lived at 35 Pottery Bank, Newcastle. Her father was Edward Carroll, who was a boiler maker. She had a sister Rosie. I know Rosie remained in England, and had at least one daughter ( I have a photo of her).
I am looking for any information on both families and the places they lived.
