Hi Helen

The only marriage that I can find is a Patrick Donough to an Ann Macklin (although it is Mackin on Teesvalleyindexes) in Qtr 2 of 1882. It's in the right area and there is a chance that it may just be mis spelled.

I think I would be looking to get one of the children's birth certs and this might provide you with the confirmation that you need.

That said, I have looked at previous census for either a Ann or Patrick and I can't find them.

Best Wishes

Here is a potential birth for Jane:

COWEN Jane 1861 Durham Western (available from durham.gov.uk)

Jane Cowen 1861 Jan-Feb-Mar Auckland Durham Durham
Volume: 10a
Page: 171


Hamsterley would be in Auckland so this could be it.

Let me know if it turns out to be any good.

Best Wishes

Hi Andrea
Thank you for the kind offer of look ups today. I am trying to confirm the parents of James Longstaff b1756 Auckland St Helens. I have tried parish records but was told no records survive for the parish of that time. James went on to marry Ann Lambton in 1790 but I have no other details for her either.
Any info would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Di

Hi Andrea,

Are you able to look up a census for Joseph Sharpe c1817 and Ann Wilson his wife. I only have one child George 1853(have birth cert) and I was hoping there might be more.
They lived in Mountsorrel Leicestershire

Thanks Allison

I think this is a bit strange. On the 1861 census John, the eldest son is down with the surname of Liddle, born at Seaton but the rest of the children are Lovatt.

In 1851 there is an Ellen , born in Southwick with a daughter Ellen, 2 months, born in Seaton. I think perhaps that this may be your Ellen.

I can't find a marriage record for them and I have tried every spelling of Lovatt that I can think of.

I will look some more tomorrow

Best Wishes

hi Andrea,

Ann Sharpe ( nee Wilson) born abt 1820,
so would make her about 41years, or between 40-42 years.

Joseph's parents were Meshack Sharpe 1789 and Ann Roper 1782.

Thanks Allison

Hi Caroline

This one has got me stumped.

There is a William Sumner death:

Deaths Sep 1886
Sumner William 25 Walsall 6b 356

He was 25 so it could be him. I have looked at the 61 and 71 census to see if I could find a likely candidate but there are a couple it could be.

I think that I would be inclined to try for this death certificate to see if there is any link to the address that Theresa was born at.

Sorry I couldn't solve the mystery for you

Best wishes


Andrea
