Hi Maureen, Thanks for the reply. Marcus

Hello Maureen Thanks so much for your extremely kind offer. I would be very grateful if you could look for the baptisms of: Ralph Stoker / Stokoe 1858 Richard Stoker / Stokoe 1860 Elizabeth Stoker / Stokoe 1862 Mary Stoker / Stokoe c1864 all born in Hetton le Hole and children of John and Elizabeth. And if you have enough time, I am looking for the death of Elizabeth Stoker / Stokoe between 1864 - 1871, aged 30 - 35 and in Hetton le Hole. Thanks again - Carla (Western Australia)

maureen vickers -Lookups offered - Durham Thank you Maureen. families I am researching who were born in Durham are WILLIAM MADDISON and his wife ELIZABETH RIDLEY. I know William's parents are EDWARD MADDISON and his wife MARY WALKER. who also probably were born in Durham, today I as told Edward abt.1829 at pittington and Mary abt.1834 at Seam Labour. William was born about 1858, Elizabeth abt. 1861-1862. Is it possible to confirm dates please and of course also if there were more in the Edward and Mary family. Apparently today i have been told of margaret abt.1853. If you are able that would be simply marvellous. The families emmigrated to Australia probably before 1871, but need to check again shipping which will do tonight. Many thanks for your help.

Hi Maureen Looks like your inundated with requests already. But should you get a chance to look at Auckland St Andrews I would be greatful if you could check for the baptism of: Margaret Howe - c.1821 - parents John and Margaret Thanks for your time Jacqui

Maureen, If you have time a look for the christening of HANNAH WALKER born cs 1857 in Escomb would be really great. Her fathers name will be either George or Charles. Derek

Hi Maureen Thanks I do have the two from genuki. Maybe the following information will help: I have a family of Charles and Ann Bolam from Elsdon, whose children were baptised at Birdhope Craig, which I believe is the Presbyterian church for Elsdon, and Ryton Woodside Presbyterian Swalwell. It seems the family moved around until they eventually settled in Bywell St Peters. Ann was married in Bywell St Peters. At the time of her marriage this is the only Bolam family in the parish and some of the children of Ann and Charles were witnesses to the wedding. In the census Ann has listed Muggleswick as her birthplace and so far have been unable to find where Mary was born. I am really hoping you find a listing at Muggleswick for which I would be really grateful. Dorothy

hi maureen, lovely offer, can you help,richard abbott married margaret burrow on 28 july 1817 beetham,westmorland i am looking for any children from them,and if possible the bride and grooms ages,one more please brides fathers name, kind regards gwenx

Hi Maureen You are really the best - I would be eternally grateful if you could find Baptisms for: Ann Bolam c1812 Muggleswick and Mary Bolam have no date but I think she was Ann's sister so would probably be around the same time frame. Many thanks Dorothy, Sydney

Hi Alan, Its the International Genealogical Index. You'll find it on the LDS site at www.familysearch.org You can search it for free. Kath. x

Johnathon, Thanks for that, but unfortunately I have no idea who the fathers of the two grooms are. There are quite a few Thomas Littlefair's and George King's on the 1901 census, and I'm trying to find which one is the family I want to go back from. Kath. x

Hi Maureen, I thought it might be too little information, so don't worry about it. I'm pretty sure they will both be church weddings though. Perhaps you could forget the Stockton marriage but have a quick look in St. Oswalds Church for the Hartlepool marriage, as it's a church the more recent members of the family have been involved with. If it's not there, then don't bother with the rest. Thanks again. Kath. x

Hi Maureen, you might hate me at the end of this, but here goes :) Please could you look for: Marriage of Richard Speck and Jame Shepherd. 5 Jul 1763, Greatham. Marriage of Thomas Thirkell and Margaret Stokol? 30 Mar 1724, Staindrop. Marriage of Thomas Thirkell and Margaret Elgy? 6 Nov 1748, Staindrop. Marriage of Ann Thirkell and Joseph Pearson. 13 May 1798, St Cuthberts, Darlington. Marriage of John Elgy and Margaret. 2 May 1725, Staindrop I think. Baptism of John Elgy, 12 Feb 1698, Staindrop. Does it cover Deighton by Northallerton? Don't worry if you can't do these. They're just ones I need to check out. Thanks :)

Found the website OK but can you Durham experts tell me if this website covers South Shields? I haven't found any of the marriages I know exist. Cheers, Lynn

Ok, thanks! I'll go and have a gander! Cheers, Lynn :-)

Ok, thanks folks for your help. Looks like I will have to send for the cert but I appreciate your helpfulness. Is this website you are using a pay per view site? Cheers, Lynn

KEMP Robert W 1905 Durham Western APPLEBY Fanny 1905 Durham Western Beth :)

Hi Maureen, What a kind offer! If it isn't too much trouble, could you look up the following marriage (see below) and tell me if the father of ROBERT WILLIAM KEMP is JOSEPH KEMP? If the father isn't Joseph then I don't need any more info. However, if Joseph is the father, could you record date of marriage and especially witnesses and all relevant info? I don't know which of these ladies he married: Marriages Jun 1905 ________________________________________ Appleby Fanny Auckland HERON Mary Auckland KEMP Robert William Auckland I presume Auckland is in Durham?!! Not very good at geography! ;-) Cheers, Lynn
