Hi Linda I am looking for information on my great grandparents. Their names were Benjamin Burgess and Mabel Lawrence they lived 44 Nile Street Sunderland around 1870. Is there any thing on the censuses about them addresses, children etc. many thanks Christine.

Linda, Thanks for the reply I`m sorry I`m so late with this repy but only to dy seen it. I will send for the 1841 Durham. I have a tynemouth 71 form the N&D FHS which is wonderful. I wish they were all as good. Mary

Linda Re. MURPHYs in Stockton: Thank you so much - it was obviously good timing for a look-up! Most interesting info. - with a name like Murphy I thought they had to come from Ireland at some point. Many thanks and good luck in your own searches Helen

Hi Linda, I am really sorry but the image for 1861 does not show what area of Durham it is. If it is a big job then please don't worry. Gail

Christine, sorry, they are not at that address in either 1871 or 1861. Linda

Hi Linda, Thanks for your kind offer. I'm looking to find Rosanna McKay (also known as Rose Ann) around the Consett & Harton areas of South Shields. She was born in Ireland around 1848-1851 (two different birth years on 1881, 1891 census's!). If you have time would you please look at the 1861 & 1871 census for her please? She did not marry until 1873 so I'm hoping she will be with her family - fingers crossed! Thanks again Linda, Best regards, Lisa

HI Linda, many thanks for your search on Margaret Plant. James

Hello Linda, I'm looking for a John Edward SPENCE born 1840 in Redmarshall, Durham. I don't know how big a settlement it was back then and unfortunately I don't have a better address. If it's too big a search, don't worry. Thanks very much. Paul

Darren, yes NBL is Northumberland Linda

Paul - re Armstrong. Sorry but that is just too large to trawl through, need it to be narrowed down or wait until it is indexed Linda

Christine Dolan - sorry they are not in Nile street in 1871. Linda

Paul - re SPENCE - have looked at Redmarshall (1841 & 1851) not very big then, but not there. Do you have any other clues? Linda

Darren they are not at Wind Mill Hills in 1861 Linda

Hi Linda, Thanks for looking for SPENCE in Redmarshall. I'm afraid I don't have anything else on an address until the 1881 census when they were living at 9 Cleveland Street, Middlesbrough. By then he had married Hannah CLARK and had children....quite a lot of children.. who were Marwood, Robert, Emanuel, Edward, John William, Alfred W, Thomas, jane and George. Paul

Darren could not locate him in Wingate - and couldn't find Hart Bushes - but the pages for Wingate are very faint and not easy to read, so could have missed him. Sorry Linda

Paul, I had a look at Middlesborough to see if they were there, without succcess. Linda

thanks anyway Linda.
