Denis, as this is a very old thread you may need to contact Ann by PM. To do this click on her underlined name. I do hope she is still a member.
Good luck,
Janet

Hi Ann, Ann Hodgson born 1827the elder sister of my gt-grandfather Joseph Hodgson born 1831 did marry John Dodds in 1853 at Hurworth-on-tees (Darlington) she had been his house servant since 1841.whether the same ann @dodds what a co-incidence!!! good luck. Denis Hodgson !!!!!

Kim Tried both those - still no luck Tracey Thanks again for you help Ann

Thanks girls - will try those - nebmd have already tried thanx Christine Ann

Ann, You could also try these www.durham.gov.uk/gro/newgro.nsf/search? or www.darlington.gov.uk/living/Register+Office/RegOfficeSearch.htm The latter I found my gt gt granparents as they had got married in the registry office! Kim

YorkshireBMD is only really any good if you have rellies in Leeds or Hull. I've tried, and failed, countless times to find my rellies on there lol

Will have to carry on with this again tomorrow Thanks for your help so far Ann x

Both those blow my theory straight out of the water!!!!!!!!!!! In 1881 Elizabeth would appear to be in Darlington with her sister a widow called Ann Dodds but then I could not find a marriage for Ann marrying Mr Dodds - But then I have been looking for an Ann Hodgson to marry Dodds to prove my theory ??

William has always been born 1854 through all census from 1861 - 1901 and always born at Laverick Hall - all census and marriage certs - he has to be the most consistant rellie with no mother or father yet established lol Ann

1871 has both Visitor and Nephew written on the image. Very confusing. There's this birth record, but it's a bit late for yours.... BLAYLOCK William - 1860 - Durham Northern Can't find this one on the census though.

Tracey The William Blaylock is my GGGrandf - trying to prove that Elizabeth was Brignall when she married George and also a widow having married Brignall around 1825/8 to find her maiden name (hodgson) and therefore link her as Williams Aunt as in 1871 he was still with Elizabeth but listed as a nephew - does that make any sense?? No father on marriage certs for William who married twice and cannot positively find Williams birth but if I can prove Elizabeth Brignall married George Cummins I may make some sort of breakthrough Ann x

Just checked that quarter - no sign of George. 1856 images are also available on FreeBMD if you want to have a trawl through them.

If you're desperate to know the answer, order the cert; if you can wait then try again after FreeBMD's next update which I'm sure must be coming soon. Kate.

This one? John Bell abt 1827 Midelton, Durham, England Lodger Hedworth, Monkton and Jarrow Durham William Blaylock abt 1854 Laverck Wall, Durham, England Visitor Hedworth, Monkton and Jarrow Durham Elizabeth Cummins abt 1804 Midlton, Durham, England Wife Hedworth, Monkton and Jarrow Durham George Cummins abt 1798 Lanchester, Durham, England Head Hedworth, Monkton and Jarrow Durham I found these on Ancestry. Just typed in Elizabeth, born 1804 +/-2yrs, born Mid*n, living Durham. If you subscribe to 1837online, or thegenealogist you can search for George Cummins in the same quarter as this Elizabeth. If the page numbers match, it's a good possibility that they married.

Tracey Where did you get those from???????? I need her to have married a George Cummins - but I need to prove it Ann x

Here are a few possibles for you Elizabeth Allinson abt 1802 Middleton, Durham, England Head Middleton Durham Elizabeth Cummins abt 1804 Midlton, Durham, England Wife Hedworth, Monkton and Jarrow Durham Elizabeth Garget abt 1802* Middleton, Durham, England Head Forest and Frith Durham Elizabeth Garget abt 1803* Middleton, Durham, England Head Forest and Frith Durham Elizabeth Spedding abt 1803 Middleton Ine Row, Durham, England Wife Billingham Durham Elizabeth Wall abt 1805 Middleton, Yorkshire, England Wife Middleton Durham *same person.

Born Middleton - Stable Edge 1804 Trying to establish that this would be a second marriage - all a bit complicated Ann x

Do you know when and where she was born?

Hi Tracey Looked on FreeBMD and Ancestry (same copies I think) Ann x
