It loooks like the grandparents have kept the youngest daughter with them poosibly to look after them. Its a shame they couldn't keep all their grandchildren together.

If May was Mary this could be her with her grandparents

I'm just wondering could May possibly have actually been called Mary?

Mary was ofetn shortened to May.

thank you chrisa, I appreciate that. Funny though that there is no sign of May. I must say I have searched freebmd and cannot find a birth or a death for a May corby within the relevant years at Newcastle. Ah well, back to the drawing board. Thanks again.

HI Margaret

I remebered the other children from searching last week.

I live in that area & would say it was probably Whitley Bay.

Yes chrisa - 1891 living Tamworth Road, Elswick, Newcastle with John 37, Jane 25, Rebecca 5, John 4 and Richard 1

Do you have the family at all in 1891?

Thanks a million for that chrisa. How very sad. Mother dies Jan 1901 and that is two children in a waifs and strays home, one in boys orphanage and one on training ship - and all at a relatively young age. Thank you very much. Not sure from info whether this waifs and strays home was in Cullercoats or Whitley. What do you think ?

The actual image says that Ellen is head of house & Matron of waifs & strays home

Possible for Norman & Joseph?

I am helping an 86 year old gentleman in Australia with his family tree as from his father backwards, his ancestors came from England. I have his father Richard Wingrove Corby b 1889 and two os his siblings and from that have been able to trace back a generation. To make sure I was indeed on the 'right track' I checked back with the Australian family on the facts I had. I am on the right track BUT I was given the names of three more siblings of Richard Corby. What I have is as follows:

Richard Wingrove Corby Jnr b. 1922 England. His parents were Richard Wingrove Corby b. 1889 and Mary Davison.

Richard born 1889 - parents John Corby and Jane Shephard. The siblings I have verified for Richard are Rebecca b. 1885 Newcastle on Tyne, John b.1887 Newcastle on Tyne, According to the Australian source there were three other siblings - May, Joseph and Norman. I have searched freebmd and have found a birth of a Norman Corby Mar 1897, three for Joseph 1892, 1894, and 1908 but nowhere can I find one for May. At this point I must point out that I can discount the 1908 one as both John and Jane had died by January 1901. My next step was to look on 1901 census. There I found Rebecca working in someone elses house, John a 'boy in training' on a ship and Richard in an orphanage BUT I cannot locate any other of the three siblings May, Joseph or Norman. How do I get to the bottom of this? Anyone any ideas please?
