Looking at the image, she should be on page 1507 which is this one.

There is a birth for Robson/Walters so maybe she married Thomas Keys. Obviously this is all guess work and you would need the certificate to be certain.


The only birth for Keys in Gateshead after 1904.

Wow she doesn't seem to have much luck with her husbands does she? I wonder which one she married.

A Marriage took place Thomason Barker McMullen Sep 1904 Gateshead.
There was only 2 Grooms Transcribed.

Also found a Death of Michael McMullen age 20yrs 1918.Gateshead, possible chance this is Thomasin`s Son.

I am pleased to hear I have`nt bored you with my story.
James came from a family of 9 children including my Gt Grandfather Robert, there was about 6 of them all died by the age of 40yrs.
with the Surname `Browell` being rare I have found them fairly easy to follow.

Hopefully, I may have more news to give very soon.

Most grateful.

Hi Linda, they were living at 71 Elswick Street, Gateshead in 1901. I couldn't find a marriage when I had a quick look.
That was a lot of fun, thank you, but what a sad, sad story if they never met again. James would not have seen his youngest child and perhaps that's another reason the family did not emigrate. Perhaps William was too ill to travel and by that time the father had also become ill.
Please keep us posted with whatever you find as I would love to know if you find living relations etc.


Liz

Lisa. Thanks for everything, I will keep you posted on my findings.

Linda x

Linda, I've enjoyed myself. I love reading about history and enjoy learning more. I would love to hear about any results. (You're so lucky that the possible census returns were found in England, too!) I wish I had that kind of luck.

Hi Lisa,

I was thinking on the same lines as you, after I posted my last message.James going alone on the Journey...
I will continue looking and find marriages for the boys if I can.
I believe that Liz and Jeanette have found Thomasin, but will get a birth certificate of one of the boys.

Gateshead,Durham is only a train ride away from Newcastle upon Tyne.

I will also look for the Marriage of Thomasin & her husband Michael too.

I am extremely grateful to you all for helping me on this Journey the help & support has been tremendous.

Hi Linda: I'm not convinced that Thomasin ever went to America. I can't find her or the boys entering America and I guess other's cannot find her returning. I have a couple of ancestors who left England and settled in Canada then a couple of years later the families joined the husbands in Canada.

If I remember correctly, all of Thomasin's children were born before he left England?

Looking back over the posts...he possibly arrived in America November 1888 and was in the union home by 1893. So, let's say he settled in Colorado around 1890 or so. Then, possibly was going to send for the family, but became ill before they could get here. If family and friends were not allowed to see their husbands, there wouldn't be a reason to bring the young children all the way to Colorado. I believe it would have been a difficult journey once they arrived in America; possibly too risky or expensive to travel a great distance to be with someone who could not see them.

***alviegal***.Jeanette & Lisa.

How Brilliant are you all.
I cannot believe you have found Thomasina.
I am absobutely overwhelmed & many thanks for your help on this family of mine.

***alviegal***

Can you give me the Address of where the family lived on the Census please., if it is`nt too much trouble.

So I take it Thomasina may have went to Usa, then returned back to Uk after James Death.

I shall get one of the boys birth Certificates to confirm this,



You are all Stars.

Many Thanks again.
Linda.

Referring to his obituary that Linda posted earlier:
"OBITUARY: Browell.-At the union home.Colorado Springs.America On Nov 30th.aged 35yrs. James Martin. Son of Hannah Jane and the late William Henry Browell and beloved husband of Thomasin Browell of this city- Evening Chronicle 1893.

The Evening Chronicle is in Newcastle upon Tyne, England."

To me, it sounds like Thomasin was still living in England. Well done on finding all of the census returns! It certainly does look like you both found her, eh?

Maybe this is young William at the Children's Hospital in 1891. He's not with his mum and brothers.

Well done Jeanette! I really think you may have found her. The image could definately be Browell and she is married but hubby is not there.
She is living at 11 Railway Place and next door is a 22 year old coalminer born in Pelton, named Thomas Todd with his wife Jane and 10 month old son James, who was born in Felling.
