Born, possibly Great Stainton, Durham abt 1690, Ralph married Rebecca Auderson/Alderson, in Bishopton, on 10/08/1716.
On the 9th Oct 1716 he was "Of Elstob" (whatever that means .. or wherever that is?)
On the 10th April 1718 he was "Of Oakcliff" commonly thought to be the old fashioned name for Aycliffe, County Durham.
In 1723 he is recorded as having been in Aycliffe.
Ralph and Rebecca had six known children; Elizabeth, William, Jane, Thomas, Ralph,and Ann.
Ralph died on the 14th or 15th of August 1758 and he was buried on 17/08/1758 at St Peter's, Bishopton, County Durham.
Rebecca died eight days after the funeral.
He is rumoured to have signed a will but this has not yet come to light. ... It is not in Durham University Library!!
I would like to find where, and exactly when, Ralph was born ... and the identity of his parents?? ... but so far it has been like bashing my head against that proverbial BRICK WALL!!
ANY IDEAS ... SUGGESTIONS ... OR INFORMATION would be wonderful!!

Researching:
Murdochs - Ayrshire & Durham: Musgraves - County Durham: Lyth - around Whitby Yorkshire: Watsons and Thompsons - around Greatham and Hartlepool County Durham: Gills and Dawsons - Stow Park, Newport, Monmouthshire
