A 1939 Register entry is on there, otherwise nothing that's not been found again for this thread.

(if not might be a 'lengthy' elimination process from Births on below, District Auckland (that's if that District goes with all Census they are on!)

I'll move this or delete when previous thread has been found.

Doesn't bear much resemblance to the 1911 info you've posted which to me indicates the family are together.

Whose deaths have you found?

1911 Census For England & Wales
14 Belle Vue Terrace Coundon Near Bp Auckland, Coundon, Durham, England

First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
Joseph Vicker Head Married Male 45 1866 Miner Coal Hewer Coundon Durham
Mary Vickers Wife Married Female 45 1866 - Ramshaw Durham
Hannah Orton Daughter Wife Married Female 19 1892 - Durham
Jane Ann Vickers Daughter Single Female 13 1898 School Coundon Durham
Elizabeth Vickers Daughter Single Female 7 1904 School Coundon Durham
Joseph Vickers Son Single Male 5 1906 School Coundon Durham
Evelyn Vickers Daughter - Female 2 1909 - Coundon Durham
Robert Orton Son In Law Married Male 27 1884 Water Leader Underground Stafffs House Durham

Said to have been married 20 years with 8 children born 2 have died

Olive appears to have been mistakenly written in and the crossed out - is this because she has died or that she is living elsewhere.

So 5 children listed above.

Have found 2 previous threads, but apart from the 1911 having been posted on both, there doesn't appear to be further relevant info on either.

So please find your previous thread and add to it. Starting a new one is unfair on the people who help

cane Report 2 Nov 2019 18:25

ErikaH Report 2 Nov 2019 17:59

FMP shows that I have accessed this census record before, which suggests that you have asked previously. The names seemed familiar as soon as I read your post
