Hi Mary Sorry I haven't got the 1851 and 1871 census yet.But if you would like a copy of the page they are on in 1861 please e-mail me and I will send you it.From that hopefully we can find out were Sarah was born and look in the 1841 census.I've already looked in Tanfield for you but I'm affraid it's unreadable Chris

Hi, i don't know if this is of any help, It appears from the Durham web site that Richard G Wells married a Sarah Lishman in Durham Northern 1875, also a Ralph Wells marrying a Mary Kirk in 1866 again in Durham Northern. Hope you can use this info, if you need any thing else please email me

Hi, did Sarah Wells marry a Thomas Duffin in 1872, this info was found on the Durham website? If she did then maybe you can find more children etc Liz

I would appreciate any info on Michael Morgan,who was born in Ireland in 1839.He married Susan[poss.maiden name Murray] I know of only two children,Annie and Mary both born in Bishop Auckland,Durham [1864 and 1869ish]The family were in Liverpool by 1881,where Michael was a licensed victualler. I would love to know if Michael was in Durham by 1861,especialy if the census gives the county in Ireland where he was born.Any help with this family prior to 1881 gratefully received.

Diane I have looked in Bishop Auckland and the only Michael Morgan I can find had a wife called Mary and it looks like he was aged 32 He also came from Ireland though I can't make out the place name as the writing isn't that clear Chris

Hi,Chris,Elizabeth has found a marriage for Michael and Susan on the Durham website.As they are not on the census,it is quite probable that they were still in Ireland in 1861.Thank you for taking the time to look. Diane
