• Notes

  From: "Angus Winder" angusw@blueyonder.co.uk Trying to find descendants of my G uncle Charles Walker Winder, who emigrated to the states in the 1880's. D.O.B- 1st nov 1843. Gateshead on Tyne England. Married Jane Patterson-31st oct 1864. Children- George Albert. Beatrice Ann. William and Charles. [snip] Charles Walker Winder and Jane Patterson were married in Gateshead on Tyne. England. Their children were all born in England. Have tried to find a burial date through the Mormon index, but ended up in New Zealand. Maybe they didn't settle in the states. That's what I am trying to find out. As far as we know, he settled in Philadelphia. I also have cousins in New York and Michigan from my Aunt Lavinia, whose married name was Dowd. She also emigrated from Gateshead, near Newcastle uopn Tyne, in the late 1920's with her husband Walter. Incidentally, I don't know if you have researched the origin of our surname. It comes from various place-names in the Cumbrian-North Lancashire area of North West England, but originated in Ireland. It is a Norse-Irish, hybrid word that means wind-shelter. Norse-Wind- and Gaelic erg. It was brought into Northern England by Norwegian vikings at the end of the tenth century. By the middle-ages, after going through several spellings, the 'g' had been dropped. My GGrandfather moved from Penrith in Cumbria to Tyneside in 1830, and our branch of the family has lived here ever since, except for one or two adventurers who I have already mentioned.
