Hi Maureen thanks very much for the information regarding James Holt's burial at Tudhoe. I am very surprised that Thomas was not buried there also. Hope you were successful in finding your own family. many thanks for all your help, it really is very much appreciated. regards Angela

GILHESPY/THOMPSON marriage Sunderland Maureen you're a gem - many thanks for the transcription. Good luck with your own research. Regards Helen K

Hi Maureen Thanks. There are a couple of possibles on the IGI but both a bit younger than Ive estimated, will have to find his death and see what age that gives me. Hope you get somewhere with yours soon. Jacqui

Thanks for looking Maureen. I don't think this is the family I'm looking for but I'll keep a record - you never know! Regards, Janice.

Hi Maureen thanks for the extra information, which I agree must be the likely assumption that he was buried at St Andrews. thanks again Angela

Thank you ever so much for the information, its much appreciated, its another piece of his life jigsaw. Just got to see what new clues his marriage cert offers when it comes.

Hi Maureen Many thanks for this generous offer. If possible could you look for the marriage of JOHN REED and MARGARET BONE 19 December 1813 in Monkwearmouth probably St. Peter's church. Susan

Hi Maureen, Thanks for your offer but you seem to be inundated. If you have the opportunity, I would like you to look for Mary Ann Foster b 1811 Durham, Gateshead. Regards Jean Dear Maureen, I have had a further look at the census' and think that MaryAnn was in fact born 2 years earlier in 1809. She has a sister Hannah (age 1861 census 49: age 1871 census 60) so possibly spring birth!!! I am looking for the names of their parents. Regards Jean

If there is anyone who I have missed their request for.. I do apologize and feel free to post again Maureen

hello maureen, would you please look-up a birth for elizabeth ann caile abt 1854 st helens auckland cheers . gwen.

Hi Maureen could you possibly look for a marriage for me? James Coulton HEDLEY born 4 June 1852 in Gainsborough Lincolnshire( his father William - a gardener On birth cert) and Eliza(beth) Jane nee WRIGHT married to James WATT (presuming he died)up to 1881 census.She was born Langri Ville Lincolnshire( her father James - a husbandsman on birth cert) They had James Coulton HEDLEY born 17 May 1886 in Felling Heworth Gateshead Co Durham(his father was a cartman on birth cert) They are together as a family as HEDLEY in 1891 census Anything you can find would be great Thanking you in anticipation Regards Linda

Hi Linda What makes you think that they were married up here in Durham..?? Have you checked the St Catherine's House Index for the marriage.. or 1837 online This is a huge area and you cannot just punch in a name and get the results these are all manual searches of Church Records on Microfilm.. I could spend hours looking for them and not find anything.. I will need at least some sort of idea of a Registration District and a year and we could take it from there.. When did they leave Lincolnshire..?? Were they still in Lincolnshire in 1881 ?? I know I can work miracles sometimes but Gateshead; Felling; Heworth are all very large areas covering loads of churches..for this time Need some more info before I will look at this one Find the marriage year please Maureen

Maureen Please, if you have time & I've given enough info, can you look up the marriage of Hannah Watson to Joseph Knott - 24/9/1808 Gateshead. Thank you. Angela

Hi Maureen You ask how sure I am about John Reed and Margaret Bone's 19 December 1813 marriage taking place in St. Peter's Church Monkwearmouth - I have the information from the Monkwearmouth Registers indexed by George Bell. There seems to be no other church mentioned for this period. If you get a chance to check this church's records I would be grateful - put it down to genealogy intuition! Susan

Thanks Maureen If you can find it at St Marys - much appreciated. Angela

sorry maureen, re- elizabeth ann caile, 1861 census says - west auckland eccalastical district- etherley. the family remained here until 1901. thanks, gwen

maureen, have updated my original message, im'e quite sure it's st helens auckland. also... can i ask for this please robert abbott abt 1820 ingleton 'i don't know if ingleton is in durham' kind regards gwen.

Hi Maureen, You very kindly found two marriages for me in Hartlepool and Stockton, on your first visit to the record office from this thread. Could I please ask for another marriage look up. I have what I think might be the marriage reference (I know this isn't what you need for the record office):- WILLIAM LITTLEFAIR, June qtr. 1865, Durham, 10a, 420. His first son, John Littlefair was born c.1865 in Brancepeth according to census records, and next son in Thornley, so I'm hoping the marriage is around the Brancepeth area. His wife's name is JANE ??????? William's father's name should be Thomas. As I'm doing this for my brother-in-law, I can't afford to send for certificates as it takes me all my time to afford my own. It's Jane's surname that I'm looking for. Thanks in advance if you have time to look. Kath. x
