Find Ancestors

My Mothers name was Ella b1929-d1994
My Grand Father's name was Thomas Atkinson b1880-d1957
My GGrand Father's name was John Atkinson b1843
These are factual
But John's Father I have as either Joseph or William.
I suspect Ive made an error but cannot find where.
How do I find which is correct?
All Newcastle area

Thanks in advance for any help you may offer.

David

What certs do you have to provide you with the facts to back all this up?

You'll need John Atkinson B/C or M/C..that will give you his dads name

This is your mother's birth?

Births Mar 1929
Atkinson Ella D Stewart Newcastle T. 10b 97

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Her parents marriage?

Marriages Dec 1914
Atkinson George T Stewart Newcastle T. 10b 8
Stewart Edith Atkinson Newcastle T. 10b 8

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How old were George & Edith on their marriage cert, whom were their parents?

I also assume you have the birth/marriage cert to establish which one of these is the right George?

Births Mar 1871 - Atkinson George Thomas Newcastle T. 10b 21

Births Jun 1875 - ATKINSON George Thompson Newcastle T. 10b 34

Births Sep 1875 - Atkinson George Thompson Newcastle T. 10b 43

If im reading that right David has Ella's Dad down as Thomas.....but then that would have made him 49 when Ella was born

My grandfather was 42 when my mother was born in 1918 and 46 when her youngest sister was born in 1922 so I don't think Thomas' age would have much relevance.

Jill

I know it doesn't..but what i was more getting at is that David has has Ella's Dad down as Thomas, & Tracey found an Ella whose Dad might be George

So was wondering if he missed out a generation

But i'll back off and keep me gob shut now

My family are fairly messed up in the age department.

I'm actually some years older than my own Uncle! My Gparents had him 3 years after i was born.

I'm the child of the eldest son, born 1947 and my uncle was born 1974 !

So age really doesn't come into it. But i do agree, and wonder if he's missed a generation out.

David you need to come back to your thread.

Come back Julie - I was only trying to help!! Don't want to upset ANYONE!

Jill

I know Mothers dates are correct. I have her bith certificate and death certificate and marriage certificate.

I know Grand Father Thomas Atkinson's date are correct as I have his birth, marriage and death certificates.
His wife was Janet Stewart widow nee Dodds d1944, I have her death certificate.

Yes, Grand Father was 49 when Mother was born, he had 7 sons and 6 daughters, my Mother being the youngest b1/1/1929 d30/1/1994
