Maureen I sent you a message but in case you don't see it just wanted to say that you have the right people. Thanks again, Brenda

Maureen, If I am not too late I wonder if you could check out a birth in the name of William Sanderson Hurdman born approx. 1863 in Sunderland I am sorry that it's so vague but I don't think there are many Hurdman's and any that you find will be the same family. Thanks Julie

Hi Maureen Just seen your reply to me. Thanks again. Hope you have a good day Jacqui

Maureen Very grateful for your kind offer, looking for the parents of these two as listed on their marriage document... William Laws, bn Gateshead 1794 Mary Morrow, baptized Heworth 1802 Not sure when they married but their child was baptized in 1831 also in Heworth, not sure if he was their first, or even how many they had! Thanks in advance, Brenda

Maureen Have PMd you with census details of the Ritchies. Will post on here if I find anything else. Thanks Angela

Thanks Maureen, At the stage of clutching at straws. Doreen.

Hi Maureen, would Durham RO hold any records for the Parish of Masham Nth York's, think i may have read somwhere that they hold some records. ?? Doreen.

hi maureen, can i please ask for a second go at this, birth for jane milburn,i have a christening date with parent[s] name mary[no father's name mentioned] can you help. christening date 22 JAN 1828 WOLSINGHAM, DURHAM, i would deary love to know if there was a father.or if at all possible to find parents of mary milburn[mother] any help welcome, gwen,

Maureen, you are so kind, you'll be busy all day! I've never been to a Records Office & am not sure what info you can get. Would it be possible to find out the parents of the following two? Emily Frances Campbell Ritchie b Sep qtr 1880, Lanchester, vol 10a, page 318a. Alice Watson Ritchie b Dec qtr 1883, Sunderland, vol 10a, page 571. Thank you so much. Angela

Maureen, Sent a PM to you, hope you don't mind Thank you Kim

Hi, it's me again. Just been looking at my records and got some more info if you could have a look. FRANCIS CHARLES CASSIDY WRAY died 20/5/1911 in Scotland. It says that he has been also married to a MARY ANN WATSON and ANABELLA PEARSON. On his death cert his parents are recorded as FRANCIS CHARLES WRAY and MARGARET WRAY formerly McHOLLAND or MULLHOLAND - not clear to read. I think He married annabella pearson Dec 24th, 1893 in HOWORTH or HEWORTH Co Durham. The more information I get, the more confused I am! I think this man has multiple identites, wives and children, or maybe I am just missing something really obvious. I wouldn't blame you if you completely ignored all this! Thanks for at least trying! Regards Leanne x

Hi Maureen, glad it's not just me!!!! I guess they didn't think that we would be looking for them 100 years later did they? On MARY LILY's birth certificate he is a cartman, maybe that was in the mines? who knows. When he was in scotland he was a steel worker. Don't you just wish you could ask them!!!!!!!!!!!! Regards, Leanne x

Hi Maureen,re your query to me on QUENET that I asked if you could check for me,the second marriage was Sunderland District,County Durham Vol 10a,page 853,Sept quarter 1893.Second wife Margaret Stafford birth details Sept quarter 1875,Sunderland district Vol 10a,page 645 if you have the time to check that too for parents details,pretty please.Thank you,Karen

Hi Maureen, this is very generous of you. I have been having trouble with a particular couple for the past twelve months!!! My grandmother was MARY LILY CASSIDY b. 22/10/1894 at 18 summer st, felling, sub-district Heworth in Gateshead. Her parents are recorded on her birth cert as FRANCIS CHARLES CASSIDY and MARY ANN CASSIDY formerly WRAY. This sounds straightforward but I cant find any details on the parents, no marriage, no family, nothing! By the time MARY LILY is 5/6 years, she and the family had moved to Lanarkshire and are found on the 1901 census as WRAY, and CASSSIDY is used as another christian name i.e. FRANCIS CHARLES CASSIDY WRAY etc. Hope I havent lost you yet. Not sure why they have started using WRAY as a surname, and just wondered if you could find any details of them whilst they were in the Gateshead area. I have already tried Ancestry etc and lots of people have tried to help me from GR already, but I am still stuck! By the time MARY LILY got married, she was known as MARY LILY CASSIDY WRAY, and her parents are recorded as FRANCIS CHARLES CASSIDY WRAY and MARY ANN CASSIDY WRAY formerly RAE.............a different surname again! Hope you can help, but wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to !!! Kind regards, leanne x
