My father, when a young man, enlisted in the British Army. He was bought off, ran away and joined the army, served his time and then worked at freighting. After his marriage he was a section foreman on the railroad. My mother was a housekeeper in the families of the nobility for fifteen years previous to her marriage. My ancestors were foresters and brewers... My parents, with my brother, Thomas, and sister, Betsy, came to Salt Lake City from England in the summer of 1868.

9. Select quotes from a research paper published in the "International Journal of Mormon Studies," vol. 5, (2012), "Origins and Development of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Historic County Durham," by Ronald L. Bartholomew:
"Facts relative to the historical development of the LDS Church in County Durham confirm this pattern. What follows is the fascinating story of how the LDS Church began and developed in five separate geographical areas, in chronological order of incidence, within historic County Durham. Important details are included with regard to key individuals involved in the beginning stages of that development, whose names and contributions have heretofore remained almost entirely anonymous. The LDS Church began in Historic County Durham when the Sunderland Branch was organized on August 13, 1843, at Hylton Ferry, in South Hylton, at the home of William Knox.22 This branch was unique in two important ways: first, the Church in Sunderland has remained intact from 1843 to the present. This is despite the fact that Church membership in Great Britain grew dramatically through 1850, but then experienced a steady decline in growth due to persecution, emigration, or the general apathy of the British people, which in most cases led to the eventual termination of the branch. Second, while the boundaries and name–titles of various administrative units in the British Mission were under constant revision during the Victorian Era23 (including those in historic County Durham), the Sunderland unit also appears to be unique in that it has retained its original geographic designation throughout its 168–year existence. This distinction can be partially explained by the efforts of new converts–turned–local missionaries like William Knox and his companion Ebenezer Gillies. Following his baptism and the organization of the Sunderland Branch at his home on August 13, 1843, Knox served as a local missionary in the area from February 1846 to February 1849, proselytizing 82 converts into the branch. ...
The first mention of the Church in the South Shields area was at a District Conference held on June 18, 1848, although a branch had not yet been organized there.78 While the Church in South Shields did not enjoy the longevity of the Sunderland Branch, the branch record still spans an entire century: from 1848 to 1948.79 This can at least partially be explained by the sizeable population in this area. Unlike the small colliery towns mentioned above, the population of South Shields was already 12,000 in 1801, and grew to over 80,000 by the turn of the century.80 Although the coal industry was strong here, South Shields was not entirely dependent on coal, having several maritime industries, including shipbuilding, which helped sustain the population and the Church membership. Like most of the branches in historic County Durham, the initial growth of this branch can be primarily attributed to the efforts of local missionaries. One of the first and by far the most prolific was Isaac Burnhope, who was baptized on June 5, 1847 by Ebenezer Gillies of the Sunderland Branch.81 This pattern was common, as new converts who had been ordained to the priesthood would engage in proselytizing activities in the neighbouring towns on nights and weekends, bringing in new converts, who themselves would begin preaching as soon as they were ordained. After proselytizing 31 people in the South Shields Branch82 while labouring as a local missionary for 21 years, Isaac finally emigrated to Utah.

BIRTH:
1. It is my opinion that Wharmley is the best choice for birthplace. It is misspelled in the records below as Wheamley, but modern maps show it as Wharmley. It is about centered in a triangle formed by Hexham, Haydon Bridge, and Warden. Being it has no church, the three previous mentioned towns do and they are all about two miles away.

CHRISTENING:
1. My research shows no christening record for this individual in the Hexham Parish records. All of Isaac's siblings are in the record showing they were living in Fellside then Sunnyside.
MARRIAGE:
1. FHL film # 87,035, South Shields Branch, England, 1827-1852; "Branch Registration of Marriages, per Certificates thereof": "Isaac Burnhope and Elizabeth Burnhope, registered at South Shields, married 12 Aug 1831 in Hexham by [illegible]."
2. No source cited but part of a list of 8 individuals with Charlton surname all married in Hexham, England; I don't recognized any of the other names except the following: "Isaac Burnhope and Elizabeth Charlton (both of Hexham) 13 Aug 1831 by William ??? (Curate)."
3. Online Ordinance Index has the following extracted marriage record per FHL film M109171: Isaac Burnhope and Elizabeth Charlton, m. 13 Aug 1831 at Hexham, Northumberland, England.
4. Hexham Marriage Transcripts, 1754-1861: 13 Aug 1831, Isaac Burnhope and Eliz. Charlton, both of the parish. Wit. Jsp. Burnhope, Jane Fiske. [An alternate transcription of Hexham marriages gives a date of 30 Aug 1830 for this couple. Source: Rounces Marriage Index: Hexham Marriages 1759-1837.]
5. The following variant is provided by Louise Crookston, Pinedale Arizona "cllouise@juno.com May 18, 2009 by email to me. Her exact source is unclear and the date of the marriage does not correspond with the the more definitive marriage sources listed above - so I discount the reported 1830 below in her notes:
"The Burnhopes are related to me through my great grandfather, Nathaniel Spens. Jane Ann Burnhope was his first wife. She has an older brother named William Burnhope born 1832. I do not have an exact birth date for William, nor do I have a wife, but I do have the christening record that indicates his father was Isaac Burnhope and his mother Elizabeth. I have the record of his parents marriage 30 August 1830 in Hexham, Northumberland, England.
