It says 8 children born i had died before 1911 (I think this was Lottie from 1881 census)
==========================================================

I will look to see if i can find a connection with Wright / Welsh etc.

I had a death in my own family in the 1800s where the informant said she was a cousin (or might have been a sister in law), and wasn't. She WAS a relative, but the relationship was beyond their comprehension as to how to describe it, so she just plumped for what seemed reasonable. In fact, she was the first cousin once removed of the seond husband of the deceased. Try explaining that in 1880!

So you might have a lot of research to do to get to who exactly Mary Welch's informant was.

Good luck!

Margaret

Mavis, thank you for that tip - never knew that!

Also, thanks VERA, that is the family in 1901!

And Barbara from Yorkshire - maybe John aged 60 is a cousin of my Thomas. My Thomas had a brother John so definitley not a sibling.

Thanks Margaret.

Basically, my ancestor Thomas Welch married twice - his first wife, my ancestor died in 1870. He then remarried in 1874, lying about his age. His age jumps from 28 in 1881 to 60 in 1901. He isn't on the 1871 and 1891 despite searches on here.

I'm curious about Mary Welch's informant being a cousin due to the family intermarriages. Confusing I know.

This is Thomas living at 23 Back Nile Street.

I haven't found Thomas Welsh at Nile Street, Middlesborough in 1901. Please post your findings.

I am very concerned that you are on the wrong track, and I'd rather get you back on the right one.

Margaret

Hi Peter

Sorry you had already said the informant was at Nile Street.

You say you have the marriage cert from 1873. But the likely marriage that Barbara found is Edit 1874. So can you tell us what is on that marriage cert and what makes you sure it is the right couple?

Which of her children is your direct ancestor? And do you have the birth certificate of that person? Details please if you do.

Margaret

Ah ok ... sorry, I missed them!

She was 41 according to the death certificate and died at 143 Duncombe Street, Middlesbrough. However, she was from and married into a travelling family.

Her husband was Thomas Welch/Welsh, a hawker/labourer.

I have her marriage certificate from 1873, and the birth certificates of some of her children.

Also, the information's address was Nile Street, Middlesbrough (where Thomas Welch/Welsh was living in 1901). I didn't post this as people have already looked up this information,

Peter

Peter, can you please answer the questions that I posed earlier?

How old was she at death?

What was the address of the informant?

Does it give the name of her husband, Mr Welch?

A death cert doesn't usually give the maiden name of a married woman - so how do you know it was Pattison?

Margaret

Ah so not the correct one. Another source told me Bridget's maiden name was AMOS!

Yes thank you Catherine - I already have this information but didn't mention as I didn't think it was nessesary here.

Can I help with other details?!

This would go with the ancestry tree:-

Marriages Jun 1861 (>99%)
Magee Jane Stockton 10a 73
Stainsby Ralph Stockton 10a 73
Stephenson Hannah Stockton 10a 73
Welsh Thomas Stockton 10a 73

Basically he lied about his age. I obviously don't know why, but yes, he was born c. 1841.

So am I correct in thinking that the Thomas Welch/Welsh in Barbara's 1881 census is the correct one, then he was born abt. 1853.
In which case, he was very advanced for his years.

1881:- aged 28yrs old he already had 2 children aged 14yrs and 12yrs, which would have made him 14yrs old when he had the first one and if he was married at the time, then he must of married when he was 13yrs old ?
If the tree on ancestry is correct, then he had his first child, in 1864, when he was 11yrs old. That's very young even for those days.


Or am I missing something here??

Hi,

Sorry for any confusion ... I initially thought that A. Smith would be living at her address in 1901.

Mary Pattison was the one born in Stockton in 1856, daughter of Thomas and Bridget (mother's name not known). She married Thomas WELCH/WELSH in 1874 in Darlington, County Durham ... she was living in Bishop Auckland in 1881. She and her family can not be found in 1891.

From reflecting, I am not sure where to go ... I have a lot of confusion with these families, and various threads have been carried on them (all specific).
