Would any kind person be able to look up a family for me please,?
Im looking for a family who lived at 10 William St , Auckland Park , Bishop Aukland, in 1960/ 1961

One daughter would be named Muriel Vasey but her paretns would have a different surname as the mother r-married.
my apologies if I have posted this on the wrong board, I was a member of GR a few years ago and things seem to have changed since I last visited,

many thanks

Welcome to the boards Claire

As far as I'm aware the ER won't be on-line; you'd need to contact the nearest library with a Local History section, or the main Archive.

If you aren't able to visit in person, they will probably make a charge

If I have the right Muriel......................


Marriages Jun 1935 (>99%)
Nelson Olive Vasey Auckland 10a 534
Vasey Sydney F Nelson Auckland 10a 534

6 children on freebmd......plus Muriel's birth, which is on FMP

She would not have been old enough to vote until 1962

She may have married in 1991

At least the ER would tell you if she was living with her mum and step-father.

If the address was traced forward until they moved (if they did), you might find that some of the children were included.
