Find Ancestors

To the kind people that helped. The Elizabeth Drummond that married John Queenan in 1847 is the Elizabeth from my family as the father of the bride is James a mariner which matches my earlier records
Thanks for all the help given

Thanks again argyllgran I intend a visit to records office friday so hope I have more to go on
I will let you and K/T know what I find.

A theory - pure speculation - re the Elizabeth who married Edward Johnson (just in case she turns out to be the one you want!):-

I think this is her in 1861, with her husband absent somewhere, maybe abroad (see 1871 below).

The daughter Elizabeth H was born 1856:

Births Dec 1856 (>99%)
Johnson Elizabeth Hannah Sunderland 10a 360

Several Elizabeth Johnsons died in Sunderland 1861-71,
so here's Elizabeth Hannah Johnson in 1871, with father Edward and new wife Catherine D, born in Hamburg. Presumably they married in Hamburg:

Can't find them after that.
This might perhaps be his death, although the age is slightly out:


England & Wales, FreeBMD Death Index, 1837-1915 about Edward Johnson
Name: Edward Johnson
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1824
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1877
Age at Death: 53
Registration district: Sunderland
Inferred County: Durham
Volume: 10a
Page: 295

After that, perhaps Catherine went back to Germany, as there's no later record of her
Maybe Elizabeth Hannah went with her, or married or died.
Can't find any conclusive records for her.

As I said, just a theory!

Do come back and let us know :-D

Thankyou very much for everyones help.I was convinced my Elizabeth drummond was the one who married Edward Johnson but now I believe it was John Queenan she married at the tender age of 16. I will check parish records at sunderland library to see which Elizabeth had a father named James Drummond to both the queenan and johnson marriages. I do hope only one has a father called james
Thanks again everyone

Oh sorry!!!

nothing on an******** for 1861 and I,ve done sons and hubby search and tried different spellings!!!

yes she is on 1861 census on f/m/p, and the 1901 census online has all census including 1861

1901 ..............sorry I thought you want 1861?

it is on f/m/p if anyone has access 1901 census online

I try searching for bans but no luck so you may need one of those marriage certificates!!!

no I cant find it on an*******!!!

which is driving me mad!

But I can see you issue as the Queenan couple do show 1851 through to 1891 as above

I originally though that elizabeth would only be 16 at the time of the marriage to john queenan so i was not sure that she was the one.but now her age matches can you bring up the 1861 census for elizabeth queenan

Is this her

argyllgran Report 20 Mar 2013 20:46
She is listed as Master Mariner's wife, so presumably her husband was away at sea at the time.

EDIT:

On second thoughts, it's probably not her, as this one's ten years too young.

EDIT ......That lady has been transcribed wrong she is 30
