Find Ancestors

Hi Maureen Thanks for the information and for the offer of your help. I have a copy of Thomas and Emmas wedding in March 1874 in Tudhoe, unfortunately it just says 'the parish church in the district of Tudhoe' by rev Edward Wilkinson. thanks so much best wishes Angela

Hi Maureen Thanks very much please could you find me the marriage details of Gawen Atkinson and Ann Ramsay on 22 May 1815 in Medomsley Durham much appreciated Tom

Hi Maureen, I was wondering if you could please look up the following for me. I am looking for William Foster (Forster ?), son of John Foster & Agnes Maria Carson, and was born in 1908, possibly in the (20, Robinson St., Blaydon?) Blaydon area of Co. Durham. If not Blaydon, then certainly in the Gateshead district. William was my grandfather's younger brother, and tragilcally died during the last war due to illness. Any info, however small, is most welcome. Regards, Marcus

That sounds hopeful! Thanks a lot Lou x

What an angel!!! As I don't quite know what you might be able to find there, so if you don't mind I'll just list what I have am still looking for and if you can do whatever you can, it will be much appreciated! Parents of William Tulip born c1780 either Durham or Northumberland, he married Margaret Bones(Bowes) in 1802. Daniel Button of Ipswich (b1853) m Mary of Seaham (b1856), I would like her maiden name and parentage if poss. Many thanks Joanna

Thanks for the offer Maureen. Not sure if this will be enough information, so if it isn't don't spend a lot of time looking (I know the time flies in record offices) There are two marriages where I'd like the name of the groom's father in both cases:- Stockton on Tees, 1910, George King to Isabella Hutchinson Hartlepool 1905 Thomas Littlefair to Emily Harding. I got these marriages from the Tees Valley Indexes and they don't give qtrs. or church names. Don't worry if it's too big a job. Just that it's for someone else's family tree and I didn't want to buy the certificates. Thanks, Kath. x

Baptism again Sunderland (no church) for Elizabeth Stones 20 Apr 1796, parents John and Elizabeth. Any additional info would be wonderful. Many thanks Lou

It you would like something looking up please give as much detail as possible and I will try and Help if I can... Please be as specific as possible about year... and church... or the Eccalstical parish named on top of census form... if you can to make time for more searches. These searches that are undertaken are not just from CD's or on computer...eg. you cannot just punch a name in and it appears on the screen.. They are actual manual searches of the Microfilm on film readers.. Plus not just a registration district.. as some of them cover huge areas.. you will need to supply more than just a registration district code.. No Blanket searches undertaken.... Maureen Anyone who has'nt replied with the additional info that I have requested.............. I may not be able to help...... I have quite a lot of work on but anyone with a simple request and not just for eg birth in Sunderland are quite welcome to put a one on.. How many I will get done is anyone's guess.. Maureen
