Hi Mo Thanks again for taking the time to do all the look ups for us. Hope you managed to get some of yours done. I will investigate the 2 Josephs you found. I'm sure Ive made census notes on the William and Isabella family so maybe my Joseph was the illegitimate one and made up a father on his marriage cert! Thanks again Jacqui

Hello Maureen- Have just seen this thread and would lke to request the following if possible... Anthony Cummings, bn abt 1809, Witton le Wear, Durham. Married Mary Alderson just before 1837. Son Thomas, Cummings born in 1837 in Easington. Mary was born in Yorkshire, possible York. Would love to have info on either the birth or marriage of Anthony, a long shot I know! Regards, Brenda

Thanks Maureen Must have had one of those 'senior' moments!!! Your help is very much appreciated, hope you have a good day. Chrissie

Hi Susan Ancestry has the 1837 index online for all Births Deaths and Marriages... Try and find him and a possible year... a ten year search for big parishes could take a couple of hours even a year search depending on how well written the parish registers are could take 30 mins plus..... or if you can wait until I get chance to look..myself..at Ancestry .... I'll take it back with me the next time I go..will be around the 22nd Feb the next visit...I will be up there usually every fortnight from now on unless we get some severe weather..... Or of course family commitments... Any I dont get done on Wednesday will roll over to the next visit anyway.. I am doing some really heavy work on my tree at the minute pre 1700 and some of its really hard going... so will do that on the morning and this on the afternoon........ Mo

Hi Maureen You have very kindly helped me before and I wonder if you can help me with finding the date of death of John Reed who died between 1841 and 1851 in Deptford Sunderland. His burial would probably have been St. Andrew's Church Deptford. His address on the 1841 Census is Deptford Hall, Sunderland. and his widow is still there in 1851. He was married and all his children baptised at St. Peter's Church Monkwearmouth. Not knowing the area I do not know how near these two parishes are. Many thanks Susan

Hi Mo Thanks for that, any information would be excellent. I didn't notice the day you were going I just was so excited that you were going because this line is a stumbler for me. Many thanks Andrea
