Find Ancestors

My grandafter was born in 1900 in West Pelton.His name was Joseph Meadows.His parents were William and Mary. He had numerous brothers and sisters with names like Martha, Esther, Donald-all older than him. They are all therein 1901 census. There seems to be no recordof any of them in the 1911 census, anywhere. I know at some point - not sure when-his father (a miner) died. Have tried searching under mother's maiden name (McCabe) and the surname of her second husband (White) but can't find them.

Any ideas anyone?

Do you have the 1909 marriage cert ?

Hi

Thanks Jonesy - I have that one. It's the 1911 one I can't find.They just seem to disappear. They stayed in the area because my gradad married my gran in 1921 and he lived in West Pelton then.

Yes that is the 1891 marriage certificate of William and Bridget Mary - known as Mary and I have it thanks.

Kind regards

Elaine

Well still confused

If she is Bridget Mary, known as Mary,then why did she marry as Elizabeth

is this her second marriage please?

MarriageFinder™: Bridget Mary Meadows married one of the following people

ROBSON, Edward Errington
WHITE, John
MURPHY, Mary Jane

The info you sent about the marriage in Durhamin 1891 has her as Bridget Mary and him as William. I haven't mentioned an Elizabeth!!!!

Although Bridget Mary is on her marriage certificate, she was always known as Mary and records herself as Maryon the 1891 and 1901 census. I can't fin her birth either - she records herself on the 1891 and 1901 census as having been born in Newcatsle.I can only find two that would be right in Newcatsle and neither feels right in terms of family names . In the 1901 census her sister is living with her -Jennie McCabe aged 16.Can find no trace of her before 1901. Jennie is recorded as having been born in Ushaw Moor Durham about 1885 but can find no trace in 1891 census.

The McCabes are one of my sticking points in my family research!!!
Kind regards

Hi Tempest

It's a possibility thanks. However, he was known as Jim - but worth following up.

I ahevn't been ableto find her husband William'sdeath record to get a date so it's hard to know when she might have re-married. She was apparently a bit of a character - not in the nicest sense! I have a photo of her looking exactly like the granny in the Giles cartoons!

Thanks

Elaine

Hi Brummijan

Thanks but the dates are out by a good 10 years.

Elaine

I queried the name of Elizabeth becuase of the 1909 marriage posted but I now see that Tempest has found a marriage in 1906

Hi Brummijan

Ignore my last post - have misread. Is this info from 1911 census in which case it could well be Esther and Mary and they would be using the surname White which would suggest theirmother had re-married to Jim White by then.

I don't think the marriage you found is right - the christian names are wrong.

Thanks for the help.

Elaine
