sorry Lisa, can't find her in Harton Linda

Would like a look up for Elliott's of South Shields Durham. A Elizabeth Elliott and brother John, b 1865, 1866. Any Elliotts of South Shields, thanks Zena

Hello - you've already done one lookup for me but I thought I would push my luck and ask for another - hope that's OK. I'm hoping you can find my HARRISON family in Kyo,for the 1851 census. Margaret should be just 1 year old and Mary Ann should be 5 years old. Their father is John, a coal miner. I have no idea how old he would be. Here's hoping! Lisa

Hello Linda, I'm new to this so please bear with me. I need to find out about James Mulholland born 1871c lived in Monkton Rd, Jarrow at time of 1901 census, how about prior to this ? Also George Bell born 1873c again at time of 1901 census lived at Lime Street Jarrow. If poss I would like to know where they lived as children and who their parents were. Is this a tall order ? I live in hope and thank you for your kind offer. Sharon Faux.

Zena - here are some, there are a lot of Elliotts and South Shields covers hundreds of pages - do you have a street, or area of Shields that might narrow it down?

Thanks Linda, Thanks Linda. At this stage, I dont have a street or area of Shields, but will keep you in mind when I have more information. What census was the above for? I have Elizabeth Elliott (a new link for our family tree). She was mentioned as a grand niece, the informant on a death certificate in 1891, age 35 years. Now trying to find who she is and who she belongs to.

Sorry, I didn't say, it was 1871. I'm trying to do my own 'index' to make searching easier, so if I come across them, I'll let you know Linda

still available

Hi Linda Could you look for a family of Murrays living at Jeffreys Rake in Hunstanworth in 1841 (I believe it comes under Stanhope & Weardale area) They were there from 1851 - 1881 so hopefully they'll be there before that as well. Kay

There are 2 lots of Murray living at Jeffrey’s Rake, Hunstanworth; I don’t know if you know but ages after 15 were “rounded down” to the nearest 5 in 1841. So a 23 year old would be listed as 20 for example. Name age occ. Born in county Adam Murray 40 lead miner N Betty Murray 35 Y Joseph Murray 7 Y John Murray 3 Y Adam Murray 1 Y Jane Graham 70 N Jane Murray 40 Y Joseph Murray 21 lead miner Y Jane Murray 7 Y Isaac Bell 25 N Hope these are the ones you are looking for Linda

Hi Linda, THats them thanks, both related somehow but haven't figured out just whre yet Kay

Linda. Is it too little information to ask if you can find any KERR'S in Whickham. On 1871 census. Sorry no address but hopefully it was only a small town then. Many thanks SUE.

Margaret, have looked in William Street and in Hebburn Village without success. The area covers hundreds of pages but if I come across them, I will let you know. Linda

Sue - no Kerrs in Whickham itself, they may have lived in Ryton, Crawcrook or any surrounding area. Sorry I couldn't help Linda

Hi, Could you please look up John Heron age 16 in south sheilds, St Hildas parish I think, in the 1841. He should be with his parents Ralph & Jane Heron. Thanks Ange

Linda. Many thanks for looking for Kerr's in Whickham for me. Much appreciated. SUE.

Angela - I have looked at part of South Shields without success - there are just too many pages to look at them all - also, some of them are very faint sorry I couldn't help Linda

Thanks for trying Linda Ange

Dear Linda, Would it be possible for you to look up a John Coates Littlefair in the 1851 census he was born in Witton-le-Wear around 1844/45. I wanted to find out who his parents and siblings were. He married in 1868 to a Frances Defty. I would be very grateful if you could find anything of this family in 1851. Best wishes Diane.................
