I had found the 1851 plus all the other census up to 1911. Its just so frustrating not to find the marriage as it would tell me who Jane's father was as I have two possible's and whether William's father was alive which would then give me the correct Sarah as his mother.

Thanks Christine I have found them now. I am now looking for the marriage of William Trotter b 1823 Spittal Northumberland and Jane Shell b1822/23 Holy Island.. Its driving me mad as it has to be somewhere. Their eldest son William was born on the island in Feb. 1848. Can you help

Hi Barbara,

I used the official 1911 site

http://www.1911census.co.uk/

Ancestry for the other years.

One of the problems with GR is that they are not as flexible with the search options, I had forgotten that you had to use a surname.

This looks like a possible as I had found a birth for a Jane Martha Grieves in 1894 and as Isabella's mother was Jane Martha Trotter I now feel this is them.
Thanks Brenda

Possible for her in 1911.

HOUSEHOLD GRIEVE ISABELLA F 1874 37 Tynemouth Northumberland.

I can't view the household and there are too many appearing on a free search to find the family.

It's always best to search with Christian name only if you are having problems finding people as I think Isaid on a previous thread.

I thought the Margaret or less likely the Margery as Emily's mother's name was Margaret!

Brenda

Brenda Report 23 Jul 2010 15:46

Just looked on BDM June qtr.1911 if they were still in Newcastle there was a Margery, Margaret and a Vera D. I think Vera as possibly the D was for Darling which was the grandmother maiden name Thanks for youe help

HOUSEHOLD TROTTER EMILY F 1877 34 Newcastle upon Tyne Northumberland
HOUSEHOLD TROTTER NOT NAMED F 1911 0 Newcastle upon Tyne Northumberland
HOUSEHOLD TROTTER SIDNEY M 1905 6 Newcastle upon Tyne Northumberland

This looks like "Sidney's" birth - so the son George Darling Trotter seems to have been known as Sidney.

Sorry Brenda, I don't have a subscription for the 1911 census - I was just using the free search facility.


Perhaps someone with a subscription will look it up for you.

You would have to buy this marriage certificate to be sure that it is your Annie - unless of course you KNOW that she married David Allen.
