The Southerns are very confusing. I have two branches of ancestor, both called Southern and, as yet, I have not established any link between them - though there may well be one:
- Thomas Southern b abt 1635
- m Isabel
- .....Thomas Southern, b abt 1660, Edlingham, Nbl
- .....m Fortune Crisp, 12 June 1682 (PR)
- .....John, b 1668, Edl m 1694 d 1738
- .....Mary b 1672, Edl d 1681, Edl
- .....Samuel b 1673 d 1673, Edl
- .....Daniel b 1674, Edl d 1682, Edl
- .....Dorothy b 1675m 1700
- ..........Alice, bapt. 30 Jul 1683, Edlingham (PR)
- ..........Jacob, bapt 31 Dec 1685, Edlingham (PR)
- ..........Ann, b abt 1690, Edlingham (IGI)
- ..........Thomas, b abt 1700, Edlingham (IGI)
- ..........m Jane Walker, 10 June 1723, Embleton (PR)
- ...............Ralph, bapt 14 Feb 1729, Edlingham (PR)
- ...............George, bapt 24 Apr 1730, Edlingham (PR)
- ...............Jane, bapt 6 May 1732, Edlingham (PR)
- ...............m Henry Coxon, of Whittingham, 31 May 1759 (PR)
- ...............Abraham, bapt 5 Aug 1734, Edlingham (PR)
- ...............Benjamine, bapt 28 Apr 1737, Edlingham (PR)
- ...............Thomas (I have a burial date for Thos, s.o. Jane Southern, but no birth date)
Now comes the second branch:
- ...James Southern, Clerk
- ...m Mary Revely, 1809, Newcastle upon Tyne St Nicholas
- .....William, b 18 Sept 1818, South Shields
- .....m Mary Ann Proctor, 4 Nov 1845, Wallsend

- ..........John Thomas 1850-1851
- ..........John Thomas 1852-1928
- ..........Emma Revely 1853-1933
- ..........Mary Eleanor Revely 1854-1862
- ..........Septimus 1856
- ..........Edmund Octavius 1857-1930
- ..........Catherine Ida 1859-1910
- ..........Isabella Revely 1860-1930
- ..........m George Colbeck Charlton
This
interesting post script is
in the record of Monumental Inscriptions following the entry for William
and several of the familty: "Wm Southern was a timber merchant. He
had lost his left hand. He and W.S. Lishman and John O Scott and my father
Mw S Dodds were great friends. John Thos and Jas Proctor Southern carried
on the Quayside business. John Thomas when cycling was run into and killed
by a motor car near the Ulleswater Hotel. The cycle skidded and he was
thrown on to the road in front of W. Parker Brewis's motor
car."
