Hi My gt gt grandparents were Catherine Conroy and Simon Fleming (poss aka James Fleming). They both have Scotland and Stockton/Middlesbrough (co Durham and co Yorkshire) connections, and possibly places between Stockton and Newcastle. I believe their son James Fleming was born in Stockton in 1872. I am unable to find a marriage or census for them. Can anyone give me any pointers please?
Many thanks Helen

Have you looked on ScotlandsPeople for a marriage?

Hi I'm assuming that the 1872 Stockton birth is my gt grandfather, and have the certificate showing Simon Fleming and Catharine Conroy as his parents. I have the 1871 certificate from before his birth. And have the censuses from 1881 showing Simon in Newcastle, and 1901 in Jarrow. I didn't have 1891 so thank you for that one. I also didn't have James in 1901 so thats another help. I don't seem to be able to find all 3 together, or even James and Catharine together. I will try to find them in Scotland I think as I think Catharine may have gone back north.
Many thanks to all Helen

Hi Kathleen Yes I have looked for marriage in Scotland, normal BDI, Marriages and Banns pre 1855 and Catholic Registers but nothing turns up.
Your help is much appreciated.
Thank you

The gap in age between Mary Ann and Catherine is 14 years - I would guess at a second marriage for Simon.
|
Thank you Potty - but - oh dear - I can't even find one marriage for Simon !
Helen
|
But Simon is younger than Catharine - perhaps Mary Ann was born illegitimately to Catharine - I have another Scottish ancestor this has happened to and they have led me a merry dance, fibbing about ages and names!
|
Mary Ann's birth cert might answer the question:
Name: Mary Ann Fleming Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1856 Registration district: Durham Inferred County: Durham Volume: 10a Page: 213 (click to see others on page)
Whoops! Of course Mary Ann cannot be Simon's daughter!
|
But she is registered as a Fleming though - thank you. Silly question but where do I order that from ? I have only ordered from teesvalley-indexes before.
Thank you
|
Sorry Helen - the 1856 birth I posted can't be correct as Simon would only have been 11. We need to look for a birth for a Mary Ann Conroy. Catharine seems to have been very young when she was born.
|
No joy with a birth for Mary Ann - there is a Mary Conroy b1856 but I can follow her through the census to 1881.
|
You say you've 'assumed' that an 1872 birth was your relation............do you have his marriage cert to confirm his father's name and occupation?
As there were no penalties until 1875 for not registering births, any child born before then may not have had its birth registered.
Who/when/where did JAMES marry?
|
Is this James? And is his son also your direct line?
