Hi May, I'm afraid I can't find James and Elizabeth. Have you managed to find them on the 1901 census? I looked on the 1881 and also checked for them and did find a Robert Nesbitt with younger brother James in an industrial school in Gosport. I'll have another try later

Hi Laurie, I've checked again using the names from the 1881 census and I still can't find anything.

Hi Lucy, Thank you very much for looking for me. I did look on the 1901 but no luck. I found them on the 1881 census but think they must have died shortly after that as there is no sign of them. Can't even find their deaths. Where did you find the information about the children please so I can have a look. I am trying all ways to get to his father William Noble-Nesbitt and mother Barbara but everywhere is a deadend. Thank you again Lucy for your help May

Hi Lucy, Did you have any luck with my request for a look-up for Thomas PHIPPEN, b1872, Burtle, Somerset. I remember you said you were going to play around with the name for a while. Thanks again. Amanda.

Hi Amanda, No luck with Thomas Phippen I'm afraid. Have you found him on the 1881 census? Do you have his father's name?

Hi May, I found a Robert Nesbitt at: Chadwick Memorial Certified Industrial School Robert Nesbitt, inmate, sing, 12, Durham Gateshead James Nesbitt, inmate, sing, 8, Durham Gateshead RG12/4241, Folio 103, pg6 Town: Gosforth, Northumberland.

Hi Lucy Could you look for Cissy Rhena Bordeaux Jacobs in Liverpool, age about 13 father James. Many Thanks Chris

Hi Ness, Not having much luck with your Sheppards. Do you have any wives or childrens names for me that might be with them? There is a George Sheppard age 43 in Northumberland wife Esther occupation H M Customs Officer. Any chance this could be your George?

Hi lucy, Thank you very much for the information. That's another piece of puzzle in the jigsaw. Regards May

Hi Christine, No luck yet with Cissy. Do you have a birth place for James or any other family members so I can narrow it down?

Hi Elton, I can't find Daniel or Martha either. The only thing that comes close although the age is way out is Martha Bowman, head, age 55, born Hertforshire London City, Living Furneux Pelham, Herts. RG12/1099, Folio 42, page 3. Unfortunately, it's one of those schedules which is totally illegible so I cannot check any of the details.

Hi Lucy, I see you have been bombarded with requests and we are all really grateful for your help, but if you are still doing look ups please could you do one for me? Living Durham, hopefully Evenwood! James Dowson age 35 b. evenwood Mary Jane 33 b. Etherly Fred? 15 b. evenwood Margaret 13 b. evenwood I have this info from the 1881 census but they were living in Shildon then. Thanks for your help Kim

Hi Lucy, Thanks again for your help, if possible can you do me another look up? William Standing born c1853, Lambhurst, Surrey wife Jane born c1857, Southborough, Kent brother Thomas Standing born c1862, Hastings, Sussex Francis Standing born c1851, Tunbridge Wells, Kent Thomas Tusdale born c1844, Plumstead, Kent Laurie

Kim, Is there any chance that this family split up? I think I may have found them but they are living separately. Can you also confirm the husband's name. You've asked for James Dowson but when I checked on the 1881 census it's listed there as John. The record I've found on the 1891 census is for a John Dowson, joiner, born Evenwood.

Hi Elton, I'm researching all over the country!! but especially the Coman and Wheeler families in Islington and Douge family in Derbyshire - also have Lanes in Liverpool, Tsang in London, Took in Bolton, Green in Nottingham, and many more! Try researching Greens in Nottingham that is such fun!!

Hi Laurie, William Standing, head, mar, 38, bricklayer, Kent Lambhurst Jane Standing, wife, mar, 33, Kent Southborough 58 Rowena Crescent RG12/432, Folio 92, Page 18 Battersea, London I have already found Francis and Thomas Standring for you, when I was looking for Charles Constant. Francis was mistranscribed as Flauding! that information is posted on here somewhere! Thomas appears to be living with Francis and his family. I cannot find anything for Thomas Tusdale, however, there is a Thomas Teasdale the right age born Plumstead - he is single and seems to be living with his brother or other relation. Do you think this could be him? his occupation is "waiter"
