There you go, Edward, your grandmother was Mary Jane's grand-daughter

Not remotely complicated in the end

Hi Reggie,
Our family is a very complicated one, the Cullens and the Newtons all come from the Easington Lane area of County Durham.
My Auntie was born around the same time that Mary Jane Newton died, roughly 1922, and she was christened Mary Jane Newton Cullen, I've tried in vain so far to get the connection, but I'll keep trying.
thanks for your help, take care.
Edward.

Have advise Edward to get the death cert for facts about her.

This is the only potential marriage between the surnames in Co Durham on freebmd - and no guarantee about who married whom

Newton Eleanor Gateshead 10a 1481

Try researching on freebmd

WHO is Mary Jane Newton after whom your aunt is reputedly named?

Have you made any attempt to find the supposed 'link'?

Hi Edward & Welcome,

Just to get an idea of year, were you born in Anglesey in 1950?

Were your parents married in County Durham - George & ?? in 1943?

Edward, we can't help unless you give us some timescales! Which century would this be?

Hi, I'm trying to find a connection between the Cullen Family and the Newton Family, both of Easington Lane County Durham, my mother's maiden name is Cullen, and she say's that there "is" a connection with the Newtons, My auntie Jenny (Swales) was named after Mary Jane Newton, can anyone help? if so I would love to hear from you.
Thank You
Edward Robertson
