Hi there, my relative Mary Welch (later Toy) was born c. 1827 in Ireland married in 1847:

Bridget Welch (1) was born in Ireland in1827 according to census records and subsequently married John Toy on the 13th December 1847 at the Parish Church of Houghton le Spring, County Durham. Details on the certificate are:-

John Toy, full age (i.e. 21 or over) Bachelor, Pitman, residence at Houghton, Father James Toy – Pitman.

Bridget Welsh, full age, no profession listed, residence at Houghton, Father John Welsh – Labourer.

In 1871 she was living with her brother in Hartlepool ... I am ONLY looking for Mary Toy in the census before and after this date. Can you help please?

Peter

So was she Bridget or Mary ???? Was she WelSh or WelCh?

(The number of families in your "tree" Peter I'm not surprised they get in a pickle!!)

Was she Welsh or Welch ?

TOY John - Houghton le Spg. 24 180
Welsh Bridget - Houghton le Spg 24 180

Haha MarieCeleste!

BRIDGET WELCH (but WelSh is sometime used)!

Sorry about the mistake! And my tree is quite an oak now.
