Isaac Burnhope 12 November 1808 – 15 February 1869 • KWJ4-R9N

FamilySearch has his birthplace 12 November 1808, Wharmley, Hexham, Northumberland, England. It is standardized as Hexham, Northumberland, England in FS. The 1851 census is tagged to the his birth and list birth Warmley, Northumberland as his birthplace

I believe that it is near Hexham. I could not find it in The Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales, 1872. I also noticed that his christening record has not been attached to him.

There is a farm near Fourstones village called West Wharmey (and east Wharmey).

Notes from myfamilySearch.net:

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.

2. Date per website for Utah State Historical Society Cemeteries Database; 8 Jan 2002. Notes: "Haxham, Northumberland, Eng."

3. Variant date shown in some LDS family group sheets is 12 Nov 1808. Variant location of Fillside also shown.

4. Sunderland, England LDS Branch records 1843-1854, FHL film 87035, p. 4, entry 25: "Isaac Burnip, born at Wheamelly, Co. Northumberland, Nov. 15th, 1808 Baptized in Hendon Bay by Ebeneser Gillis June 5th, 1847. Confirmed in the arcade June 6th by C. Phelps and William Knox - removed to South Shields Oct AD 1849."

5. Sunderland, England LDS Branch records 1843-1854, Reformation and Rebaptism of Durham Conference, FHL film 87035, p. 2a, entry 26: "Isaac Burnop, born at Wheamelly, NHumberland, Nov. 15th, 1808. Baptized at Sunderland June 5th, 1847. Confirmed June 6th, 1847 in Sunderland, Durham by C. Phelps. Moved Oct 1849."

6. South Shields [Durham Co.], England LDS Branch records 1848-1855, 1870, Membership Roster, FHL film 87033, p. 1, entry 5: "Isaac Burnip, md., residence at Boldon, born at Worden, Northum., 15 Nov 1808. Baptized at Sunderland, 5 Jan 1847, Elder."

7. Endowment by proxy by son Thomas Burnhope indicates birthdate of 12 Nov 1808 at Hepham Cumb., Eng.

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.

I think that you have successfully answered your question. It is not unusual for birthplaces to be listed on census records and elsewhere as hamlets, farms or other locations smaller than nearby parishes.
