James, Tynemouth is in Northumberland, I don't have those disks, sorry Linda

Hi Linda Thanks anyway Gail

Hi Linda Many thanks for your offer. Would appreciate any information you can give me about John Weston born 1833/1834. He was resident at Crag-head at the time off his marriage in 1860 which took place in Pelton. I have details from the 1881 census which gives his residence as 3 Garden Row, Witton Gilbert, also that he was born in Chester le Street. Have you any details about him and his family for the dates you mention? He married Thomasine Pinkney and his father's name was also John. Regards Cheryl

I am looking for family called GRIEVESON who lived in Westerton in 1873. Thomas John Grieveson b 1845 in Backworth Northumberland. His father was John (sometimes writen as IONS). Not sure when Thomas moved to Westerton. Any family details would be helpful. John died at sea before 1873. Thanks Philip

Hi Linda, Please can you see if you can find in the 1861 & 1871 census a William Gregory b.c1833, Hants & Elizabeth b.c1835, Sunderland. I'm hoping they stayed in the Bishopswearmouth area for both. Many thanks for your time & help, All the best, Claire

Do you have any details on William Cleasby born in Midridge, co. Durham. he was born around 1835.

Cheryl, sorry not in Witton Gilbert, looked at Craghead area & didn't locate them - I'm afraid Chester le Street is too big without a bit more info Linda

Philip - they were not in Westerton in 1871 that I could see, sorry Linda

Claire, bishop Wearmouth is too big to trawl through without more info, sorry Linda

Dawn, didn't find William in Midridge, sorry Linda

Darren - sign of either of them in Windmill Hill sorry Linda

Hi Linda, Thank you so much for your help. I am not convinced that they are the correct ones. Could I ask you to look for the whole of Durham? Gail

Gail - the disks are not indexed and run to 5 disks in 1871! That's why I ask for an area of a town, to make the search a little easier for me. Even a village can run to 200 pages, which is a lot to go through. Linda

Hi Linda, I am sorry I did not realise. Thanks for your help. Gail

Hi Linda Thanks for the look-up for John Weston. The only other info I have on him is that he was a miner and his father was also called John- which probably isnt much help!- and that he later lived in Sacriston where several of his children were born. Other children were apparently born in Annfield and Ushaw Moor which is info from the 1881 census. Would appreciate any help you can give. Regards Cheryl
