Find Ancestors

Hi Linda, Thanks for your kind offer. I'm looking to find Rosanna McKay (also known as Rose Ann) around the Consett & Harton areas of South Shields. She was born in Ireland around 1848-1851 (two different birth years on 1881, 1891 census's!). If you have time would you please look at the 1861 & 1871 census for her please? She did not marry until 1873 so I'm hoping she will be with her family - fingers crossed! Thanks again Linda, Best regards, Lisa

Christine, sorry, they are not at that address in either 1871 or 1861. Linda

Hi Linda, I am really sorry but the image for 1861 does not show what area of Durham it is. If it is a big job then please don't worry. Gail

Linda Re. MURPHYs in Stockton: Thank you so much - it was obviously good timing for a look-up! Most interesting info. - with a name like Murphy I thought they had to come from Ireland at some point. Many thanks and good luck in your own searches Helen

Linda, Thanks for the reply I`m sorry I`m so late with this repy but only to dy seen it. I will send for the 1841 Durham. I have a tynemouth 71 form the N&D FHS which is wonderful. I wish they were all as good. Mary

Hi Linda I am looking for information on my great grandparents. Their names were Benjamin Burgess and Mabel Lawrence they lived 44 Nile Street Sunderland around 1870. Is there any thing on the censuses about them addresses, children etc. many thanks Christine.

Gail, do you mean Durham City? Any idea of the area? Linda

Hello Linda Thanks very much for offering to do this. Does your CD cover Stockton-on-Tees? (The birth certificate I have says it is 'in the counties of Durham and York' - not too helpful!) The people I am looking for were at Maritime Street (sorry no street number), Stockton in 1865: MURPHY family, including Peter, Agnes/Agnas. Helen

Kathleen, yes Burbank/Birbank street was there, (spelt both ways) it was in several sections, it must be quite a long street. Linda

Thanks for looking for Callaghans. I'll try to find more info on the Bishop Auckland BARTLES. Thanks for your efforts. Sue (NZ)

Hi Linda Thanks for looking for my Andersons in Burbank Street, Stranton, Hartlepool. Could I just ask you if you found Burbank Street itself or not, on the 1871, as they were there in 1881, and I wasn't sure if the street existed before then. Thanks again, Kath

James, there are no Plants in Eldon in 1871, had a look 1861 and not your family, but found this one: 1861 RG9/3708 page 25 folio16 Red House, Eldon George Plant head m 40 Ag.

Susan, there are no Callaghans in Eldon 1871, or 1861. Bishop Auckland is too big to search, need to narrow it down a bit, sorry Linda

Kathleen, can't locate them in Burbank/Birbank street, sorry. Linda

Thank you very much Linda, you have been a great help. Thanks Andrea
