Find Ancestors

Thanks very much for the census of the Pinder's Mary, I'ts much appreciated. Best Wishes Mike

Hi Mary, you looked up a Mary J Peel for me earlier and found her with her widowed mother,this has lead us to find her father mentioned on a mining disasters website - which has been very interesting! Could I please ask for one more favour - could you look on the 1861 for ANN PEEL born WALLSEND, Northumb. aged abt 34 with her husband ROBERT PEEL and children JOHN and EMMA. They should be in Northumberland. Also on the 1851 for ROBERT PEEL although they maynot have been maried then. Hope this isn't too much trouble but we're really excited with the earlier find. Julie

Hi Julie I had a feeling that maybe Robert had been killed in a mining accident,so I too had a look and found he died at Morfa Colliery in Feb 1870.Very sad. Found more than you bargained for!!! 1861 Usworth,Durham Robert Peel Head 34 Pitman b Newcastle,Northumberland Ann Peel Wife 35 b Wallsend George Peel Son 11 Pitman b Millington Northumberland John Peel Son 9 b Millington Elizabeth Peel Daur 7 b Millington Emma Peel Daur 3 b Kelloe,Northumberland 1851 Bewick,High Row,Long Benton,Northumberland Robert Peel Head 24 Coal miner Putter b All Saints Newcastle Ann Peel Wife 25 b Wallsend Jane Peel Daur 3 b Long Benton George Peel Son 1 b Long Benton What an interesting family!!!!

Hello Mary Many thanks for all the info you provided last night. This is my husbands family and a couple of days ago he found his gt gt grandfather was a Captain in the Salvation Army. A lot more interesting than mine who are all labourers! Thanks again. Julie

Hello and thank you for your kind offer. I am looking for an elusive relative's birth or any information on him at all. I do know that he was born c 1831, which I realise is before any official records began. On his Army records he is stated as being born in Glasgow, but I cannot find any record of this. Then on the 1881 census in Perth he is stated as being born in Ireland?? His name is John Whiteman and he married an Emily Morgan in 1859 in Manchester. He then married an Elizabeth Adams in 1877/1878 in St Pancras London. I would be most obliged if you could find anything at all on this man! Also, if you have time Emily Whiteman, nee Morgan, must have died approx 1875-1877, could you possibly search for her death? Many thanks Regards Lynne

Hi Julie I have found the marriage of Elizabeth Jacques/Charles Gregory on Freebmd. Dec Qtr 1901 Kensington 1a 459. You will need to send for the marriage cert in order to attempt to trace the parentage of both. Regards Mary

Hope this helps Regards Mary

hi mary ah well... thanks for looking anyways. scott

Mary Thank you so much, absolutley brilliant. Did note the comment, 'not born Somerset' for James did it say where because I've always been led to believe it was. Note your comment on Kingdon, this has always been a problem. Will sort it eventually.... Regards David

Hi David Thought you might be pleased with the result!! The 1841 census only shows if a person was born in County or not,does not even show where in the county they were born,also no relationship to the Head is shown. Trouble with anecdotal family history it is often incorrect.!!! Regards Mary

Hi Mary Thanks again. Got mixed up with James and John, James came from Marnhull, Dorset. As far as I am aware John and Jane ended up with 15 children the last 26 years after the first and when Jane was about 43, and people think they have a hard time these days, especially as benefits are available now! Thought my mum's family was doing well with 12. She's the grand daughter of Sidney. He died aged 91, 47 years a member of Wyke Regis Working Mens Club. I've kindly been given his Army documents on Vellum, he was in the Boer war, took his wife to South Africa that was where my gran was born. Thought you might like a little insight. David

Hi Mary, Thank you so much for your help with this, it really is appreciated! Kind regards Lynne

Hi Mary Thanks for your kind offer. Can you please look up Ancestry for James Winterburn born Guiseley 1782 marriage in 1802 to Mary Marshall born Otley 1783 and also Census 1841, 1851, 1861 entries for the family. Regards...Lyne

Lyne I am sorry but there is no trace on 1841 census of James and Mary Winterburn. I assume you found the marriage on IGI but such an early marriage means that all children will have moved from the family home. You will have to go to Parish registers to identify their children,unfortunately Pariash registers on Ancestry are almost non existant outside London and I am therfore unable to help you with any lookups. A quick look at 1851 census shows hundreds of Winterburns in Yorkshire. Mary

Hi Mary I'll start on this and work backwards. Hope it's not too much trouble. For 1871 is it possible to look to see if there are any references for Cook or Cooke, that have a link with Ockbrook/Borrowash, Derbys. I don't require those for Ockbrook itself as I've done all those. If not many of these could you check 1861 as well please. Popular male names are John, William, Samuel, Thomas, Reuben, George & Charles females tend to Elizabeth, Mary & Hannah. Brief detail will do as it will give me something to work on. Kind regards & many thanks David
