Cheryl Think this might be them 1871 Head is a Coalminer he is down as George but the Margaret & Ann and Mary all fit in with what you said and the 1881 census Head is a Coalminer Lodger George is a Plasterer and married Ann Dale abt 1865 Usworth Daughter Elswick Northumberland George Dale abt 1817 Newcastle Lodger Elswick Northumberland George Dale abt 1838 Newcastle Head Elswick Northumberland Margaret Dale abt 1869 Seaton, Ireland Daughter Elswick Northumberland Mary Dale abt 1840 Harbor, Seaham Wife Elswick Northumberland Source information: RG10/5081 Registration district: Newcastle Upon Tyne Sub-registration district: Westgate ED, institution, or vessel: 31 Folio: 66 Page: 23 Household schedule number: 101 Now when I go back to 1851 Elizabeth Dale abt 1844 Newcastle, Northumberland, England Daughter Newcastle upon Tyne St John Northumberland George Dale abt 1818 Newcastle, Northumberland, England Head Newcastle upon Tyne St John Northumberland George Dale abt 1838 Newcastle, Northumberland, England Son Newcastle upon Tyne St John Northumberland James Dale abt 1837 Newcastle, Northumberland, England Son Newcastle upon Tyne St John Northumberland Margaret Dale abt 1819 Newcastle, Northumberland, England Wife Newcastle upon Tyne St John Northumberland William Dale abt 1849 Newcastle, Northumberland, England Son Newcastle upon Tyne St John Northumberland ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Do you have the marriage cert of James and Mary? Wondering what the fathers name is! What does the P stand for cannot find a birth for him Now very strange 1861 I'm wondering if they are brothers George's wife is called Mailda and you know James is Mary George Dale abt 1839 Newcastle Upon Tyne Head Washington Durham James Dale abt 1838 Newcastle Upon Tyne Head Thornley Durham Ahhaaa it's for Phillip Name: James Philip Dale Birth Date: abt 1838 Year of Registration: 1888 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun Age at death: 50 District: Gateshead County: Co. Durham, Tyne And Wear Volume: 10a Page: 461 Doesn't make sense I'm confused how can she be in the 1871 with George 1881 with James and then James dies in 1888 unless he just liked to be called George I'm confused but maybe some of this info will give you an idea Zoe

Louise Do you have one of the childrens birth cert to establish her maiden name is Smith? Can't seem to see her in 1871 or a marriage for them How Weird!! Sorry can't be more help maybe she was married previosly and that's why you can't find a marriage under Smith!! ~~Just a thought Zoe

Zoe, Rebecca married as a Smith - her father's name was David Smith, Labourer (nice and generic!!). As far as I know she stayed with the Cordingleys until she married - I have pictures of her on her 50th wedding anniversary with the son of Percy Cordingley. I will try asking on Tips if they know about the Abandoned Baby Register. Thanks. Margaret

Thanks Zoe, you seem to have found them. Don't know when they married and I can't find Emmaretta as a Theobald or married as Jennings in 1891 Census. Nevertheless, thanks again for your efforts. Alan

Hi Zoe thanks very much for the look ups for Thomas Holt. I am really very grateful to you for all your help. You have definitely the right Thomas in 1881 and 1891. on the marriage certificate his fathers occupation was given as fitter. regards Angela

Hi Zoe Re Pratts. The 1871 for William Pratt does state born Isleworth, Middlesex. I haven't been able to get a lookup for Charles & Maria & children on the 1841 census, have posted requests on this board but no response and as I am in Staffs have no access to it. Not to worry! Thanks anyway. Ann (Dorothy)

Keep up the good work - greatly appreciated. Many thanks Cheryl

Hi Zoe Here is another one if you are interested. Looking for the Birth of Ralph Marshall abt 1889 Chester Le Street, Durham and or Stephen Ralph Marshall abt 1889 Im so sure this is one and the same person, but would love to know if its Stephen Ralph Marshall on the Birth certificate or Just Ralph Marshall, or if its two different people. Once again he moved to Scotland and I found what I am 99.9% sure is his grave, checked out his death, marriages and a death of a son of his and they all give his name as Stephen Ralph Marshall but we all thought it was just Ralph as this was the family name that has been handed down all the generations. any help would be appreciated Thanks Linda

Hi. Thank You For help. This is driving me mad!!!!! Thomas Maddison, born Sunderland 1857. He married Mary Whyms?? From free BMD I have them listed page 10a. vol 739. When I tried to send for cert, they sent back to say no records!! But it is clearly there, listed in 1876? I think that I have found Mary on the 1861/1871 census, from Ancecestry. The last name is very badly spelt. 1861Census. New castle. Civil Parish St John. Alice Weims 1860 born Newcastle Daughter. Ann ' 1832 Gateshead Wife. Ann ' 1854 ' Daughter. John ' 1854 ' Son. Mary ' 1858 ' Daughter. Robert ' 1830 ' Head. 1871 Cesus Durham, Civil Parish. Hedworth Monkton and Yarrow. Alice Niel Womys. Ann O Niel Crisend Niel Womy. Henry Niel Womys. Isabells Niel Womys Mary Niel Womys. Robert Niel Womys. Daniel O Niel Ann Weymess. Robert Weymess. Head. As you can see It has been badly transcribed. I can't find any of them after 1871. I would be very gratful for any info you can uncover. Kind Regards Viv.

Hi, I have a mystery which I am trying to solve! Charles Henry Barnard married Martha Lavinia Pitman. 1897 - they had a son Percival Charles Barnard registered in Harmondsworth - have his birth certificate. (Staines on BMD record I have found) Percival was given up for adoption (although adoption wasn't officially legal at theis time. He grew up as Percival Thomas. 1904 - Charles & Martha had a son Dudley Arthur Barnard registered in the same place with the same home address etc (have birth certificate) They kept this son. The mystery is that Dudley Arthur was always knwn as Buncombe, not Barnard. Did he change his surname? Did his parents change theirs? Which is their 'real' surname? Charles Henry and his family lived in Surbiton, Surrey (UK) and I have found a census record of a Charles Henry Buncombe b 1865 in Stepney, living in Surrey (father Charles Hope Buncombe, mother Alice Buncombe, nee Price) - these could be his parents if Buncombe was his real name! How do I find out the truth?! There were also 3 sisters which Dudley grew up with: 1906 Winifred 1907 Florence 1909 Hilda - were they Barnard or Buncombe? I can't find records of them at all! I can't find any census records on this family at all - I know they definatle lived in Surbiton, Surrey. Any help would be great!!! Thanks, Steph

Vivienne How do you know she married Thomas Maddison did they have children? Which Ann do you mean is it the one born 1854? When you tried to order the cert did you put both peoples names as they are on the same page doesn't always mean they married each other! checked page numbers in GRO records and are correct! Do you have them in any censuses after 1871? Zoe
