Signatures of various Wan(d)lesses for comparison
Signature of Joseph Wanlace at his 1805 Tynemouth marriage to Jane (Oxley) Pinder
Signatures of Peter & Lancelot Wanless/Wandless
 |
signature of the Thomas Wandlass who witnessed the will of Peter Wandlass in 1790 |
 |
signature of Thomas Wandlass from his will written shortly before he died in Monkwearmouth Shore in 1807 |
| This certainly looks like the same person signed both documents, and would seem to establish a link between the family of Peter Wandlass. Tony Palmer also has a photocopy of the marriage of Thomas Wandlass & Elizabeth Bell at Boldon 21 Dec 1800 and Thomas’s signature matches that on the will of 1807, and Elizabeth’s (i.e. the Eliz. bit) matches that of Eliz. Wandlass on the will of Elizabeth Wandlass in 1820. | |
William Wanless & Ann Robinson marriage, 1857, Bishopwearmouth, DUR |
William Wanless & Mary Ann Gibson marriage, 1833, Longbenton, NBL |
Ann Wanless & John Anderson marriage, 1818, Longbenton, NBL Note the similarities between Ann and William’s (above) signatures – the small loop at the beginning of the W. |
Margaret Wanless & Samuel Baird marriage, 1825, Longbenton. Margaret’s “W” looks a lot like Ann’s “W” above, but John’s “W” doesn’t share the same small loop at the beginning. We don’t know if John is Margaret’s father, brother, or another relative. |
John Wanless & Eliza Moor, marriage, 1841, Newcastle All Saints, NBL |
John Wanless (brother of Isabella Wanless, son of Edward Wanless & Sarah Hall) at Isabella’s marriage to John Shotton, 1850, Longbenton |

John Wanless marriage to Barbara Greenwell, 1799, Longbenton, NBL |
Mary Wandless & James Garmonsway marriage, 1861, Newcastle, NBL |
Witnesses to the Mary Wandless & James Garmonsway marriage; John is most likely Mary Ann’s brother (they are children of Thomas W & Margaret Roxby) |
