Hmmm,

ATKINSON, John Head Married M 57 1844 General Labourer Newcastle
ATKINSON, Mary Wife Married F 53 1848 Newcastle
ATKINSON, Thomas Son Single M 21 1880 Shipyard Labourer Newcastle
ATKINSON, Jane Daughter Single F 14 1887 Newcastle
ATKINSON, Henry Son Single M 12 1889 Newcastle

I wonder if Thomas just listed his dad with the last known job he did before he died?

Ive seen that one WayneTracey, good solid stuff

David

Do you have Thomas in 1911?

Tracey x

Don't know Tracey, I always thought Grand Father always worked for the corporation. He certainly did in his older years
But I was only a young boy
There it says he was a ship yard labourer

I',m sure I followed Father and son through the census
Will need to go back a check

You would have done what you could to bring money home to your family. I wold imagine he probably went to work with his father and found a job that way. As Thomas grew older the ship yards as he knew them would have been starting to close, with a new wife and children he may have changed occupations to suit his needs.

As local councils sprung up and jobs became abundant he would have probably switched occupations to carry on earning money.

I'm still trying to find him in 1911..... Do you know when John or Mary Ann died?


Tracey x

No, beyond Thomas and Janet's deaths I do not know when their forebears died

Well, Tracey friend Ive got to turn in but will resume this tomorrow.
Thank you, and all the others for your help x

Right found John & Mary A ??

ATKINSON, John Head Married M 66 1845 Ship Rivetter Northumberland Alnwick
ATKINSON, Mary Ann Wife Married 24 years F 70 1841 Northumberland Howdon on Tyne

This couple is subject to scrutiny.

Tracey x

I just thought, who was Thomas's first wife?

Have you found any children from that marriage?


Tracey x

How would that help?

To find Thomas on the 1911 census.

T x

? He was born 1880 and died 1957, so he was around

Before Janet, Thomas was married to Margaret Cunningham bc1876

I have suspicion to believe that before Margaret Cunningham he was married to Isabella Doyle. b c1881

I have one birth certificate of a child by Margaret

Birth Certificate 2/11/1916
Joseph Atkinson Boy born 20/11/1916
43 Druids Lane Newcastle upon Tyne

Father Thomas Atkinson Carter Corporation
Mother Margaret Atkinson nee Cunningham

Andrew Laud registrar

Doubtless there are others, but it's the only one I have

I could give you all of Thomas' siblings and sons and daughters, if it would help

I found John on a census and the head of the family was William, coachman

I'm not CERTAIN I was looking at the right John.

It's murky that far back

Any use to you ? It's about all I have
