Hi Blossom in Essex..
Just popping up the school ..But Enough time to say..
I have marriage cert ..First marrige
The date of birth someone gave me from her death reg.
I am intrigued about the info you have put..
Will look morewhen I get back
Thankyou so much

Blossom, apparently Isabella is an alternative for Elizabeth. So the Stewart birth could be worth considering.

Marriage of Robert William Stewart to Mary Mitchinson, Sedgfield Sep 1899, 10a/193. But they also have Jennie in 1916. I was wondering if the parents died and Elizabeth/Isabella was taken in by George and Catherine if she was a relative.

Christine, am I right in assuming your grandmother married Thomas G Liddle June 1934, and then James E Applegarth Mar 1955? Is that something you know to be right from family knowledge? In which case the death of Isabel (la) Applegarth in Jan 1968 age 55 would seem to be the right person, even if we don't believe the age.

We ain't getting anywhere are we?

Hi,
Yes the marriges are the right ones..
Its a pickle isent it...
I remember James Applegarth.he was a lovely man.

Hi,

Just tracing back Mary Mitchinson to see if she is related to Catherine, I found this, but I'm not sure how it helps at all:

There's an Isabella here but not sure how it helps!

What is listed for Isabella's age in 1934 when she marries?

Rose

Hi..
Gosh How I wish I could do what you do???
From what i know the Mitchinsons go right back to coming from Edingbrough..Although Catherines Mum was married in Stockton..
So interesting though that the ones you have seen come from Houghton..thats where some of my Dads family are from...
My Isabella is a mystery...

Hi,
Isabella age 22..Father George Pearson Baldam

Got to clock off for tonight - OH wants the computer.

Will come back tomorrow to check on any progress. You'll all have it sorted by then, won't you?

Sue

22 in the June quarter of 1934 means she was born 1911/1912.

What about the 2nd marriage?

No, no help either. George is the right age and there is an Isabella.

We shouldn't be having this trouble. None of the surnames are that common. Baldam, Mitchinson, Liddle, Applegarth, Gustard. Not exactly Smith are they?

Isabella is also not that common.

Catherine seems to have had a sister Ann, but not a Mary.

Christine, what was Catherine's mum's maiden name?

Do you have any more info on the family you can share with us?
