richard monkhouse born 20 nov 1861 church walk gateshead married elizabeth maddison at st cuthburts gateshead july 13th 1879 elizabeths age is given as 21 and her father joshua maddison occupation appears to be marinner .the witnesses was john paterson and emily paterson . I have searched all over for any clues as to where elizabeth or joshua her father came from to no avail . After elizabeth got married to richard she is on the census 1881 1891 1901 1911 and consistantly gives her birth place as north sheilds .i would really like to know more about elizabeths family and would appreciate any ideas suggestions that anyone can give thankyou .....j

North Shields is in Northumberland, South Shields in Durham.

yes i agree but still cant find any clues on census margee :-D

Dads name does look like Joseph and not Joshua but Im a bit suspicious as his boy is called Joshua.....maybe a mistake on the census?

Also dad is a miner not mariner???

Do you think it might be worth checking dads name and occupation on the marriage certificate....just in case, they can be very hard to read, well for anyway ;-)

I should have mentioned that elizabeths address on wedding cert appears to say bearham ?very hard to decipher........j

The censuses that I posted have the address as something like: High Ling Riggs

......but its just a guess as its hard to read.as per!

On the 1881 they both appear to be using a middle initial, in case that helps:

MONKHOUSE, Richard T Head Married M 19 1862 Blacksmith Gateshead Durham
MONKHOUSE, Elizabeth A Wife Married F 21 1860 North Shields Northumberland
MONKHOUSE, George William Son Single M 1 1880 Gateshead Durham
