Hello,
If you have any records relating to the Meggison family, I would be grateful to have that information. I was thinking that the Sedgefield entry might well be them. Haughton-le-skerne, Houghton-le-Spring, Heighington, Auckland, Benfieldside, Bishop Auckland, Bishop Middleham are others. Awaiting your reply with bated breath.

Hi
I am researching the Longstaff family of Bishop Auckland.
I expect that most marriages for the branch I am interested in,were married.bpt. and buried at St Andrews.
A name variation could be Langstaff.
There were several generations of butchers and also inn-keepers.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi There Peggy
I have no name for Meggeson in my database..
But if you are stuck on anything I am up at Durham Records Office in the near future..I usually go every 2 weeks..

Re: Peggy13
There is a Meggison mentioned on the timesonline newspapers early to mid 1800's. I think it was Rev Meggison at Lanchester. if i come across it again i will note it down :-\
Re: Lazarus
Have you checked Carole's website http://homepage.ntlworld.com/carole.johnson40/LONGSTAFFBOOK.htm
The Langstaffs of Teesdale and Weardale by George Blundell Longstaff. Carole has transcribed the original book and is also adding extra information.
-
Thank you Rewcastle.
I am familiar with Carole Johnson's transcription of the Langstaff/Longstaff Pedigrees.I believe Pedigree 10 ( ? now Pedigree 37) relates to my Langstaff/Longstaff interest.
John Longstaff 2nd son b3.10.1810 married Mary Ann Todd and came to Australia via New York where my late wife's great grandfather was born.
John referred to was a son of Michael Longstaff and Mary Dawson.
Any further help will be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for my Stonehouse's who lived in Durham.
My Great grandfather is Edwin Stonehouse. He had 4 Wifes and a lot of his Children died young.
Edwin M Jane Wilson 1899, Elizabeth Ann Jefferson (my Great Gran) 1903, Minnie Muir 1908 and Mary Cawthorne 1921. All i have is Auckland Co Durham,Western Durham. Any Stonehouse's would be fine as they always seem to tie in if you wait long enough.
Many Thanks
Carol (in New Zealand)

Hi Carole
Sorry nothing at all for Stonehouse and I have a lot of marriages for the St Helen's and Andrew Auckland parishes :(

Thanks for looking
Regards Carol

Re: Lazarus
Before your Longstaff's moved to Oz, were they one of the families of Longstaff butchers that moved to Monkwearmouth, Bishopwearmouth Sunderland?
I am researching my 5th great grandparents, John Longstaff married Eleanor Sanderson 29th Feb 1808 at St. Andrews Bishop Auckland. Their daughters moved to Sunderland.
-
Thanks Rewcastle. I did go to the timesonline site but was unable to bring up anything regarding Meggisons. I look forward to any information from you.
Peggy13
-
Thanks again Rewcastle.
I found my Longstaff family,John,wife Mary Ann (Todd) and first children born Bishop Auckland on 1841 Census Newgate St but by 1850 they appear on the Census for New York.John was a painter and gilder.
In 1853 they arrived Melbourne Australia,went to the goldfields then known as Forest Creek.
Within a couple of years Mary Ann died and a daughter suicided by taking arsnic.Another daughter married (three times) whilst father and son moved to Maldon Victoria.
It appears some of the earlier generations were butchers.
Commencing with the 1767 marriage of George Langstaff to Margaret Parker a number of the family became inn keepers,coopers etc.
I am not yet aware of any family having moved to Sunderland.
St Andrews Auckland seems to have been where they were baptised or married.
Any help appreciated.
-
Hi, I'm interested in this area.
Do you possibly have anything for Hails,Raffell,or Love families.
Esh,Brandon Waterhouses areas.
Thanks in advance

HI Lazarus
I dont know if you know but the IgI has covered the Auckland Andrew parish registers Quite well.. all of the marriages have been covered.. but there is a gap in the baptisms between 1653 and just pre 1747
all the burials have also been indexed for the parish at Durham Records Office...

I'm looking for Browns :-\ William Lumsden Brown, Thomas Foster Brown and Elizabeth M Brown. It's a hard job but someone has to do it!! Any sort of Browns with unusual middle names would help.

Any snippets gratefully received,

The Vicars Wife
-
Oh well. I think if they were anywhere they would be West Auckland or St Helens Auckland, or, knowing them, they slipped out of the county to get married and back again!!
I appreciate your help though.
MAny thanks,

I don't suppose there's a Burdett Lambton Brown is there? Married ELizabeth M Brown? They were both born in Washington, but may have moved south, but then I'm clutching at straws a bit here - possibly married around 1850ish.
Don't go to too much trouble - I should be able to trace a man with that sort of name...
Best wishes, and thanks

How very interesting!! I bet his second wife was the one who wanted the registry office! Them Browns seem to be a godless lot!!
However, Tom L Brown, son of Burdett Lambton Brown, the theological student appears to be a chaplain at a boys' home in the 1901 census. As a mature student who graduated with a degree in Theology just 2 years ago, this is most heartening news!!
Oodles of thanks, you've all been stars! Your help is most appreciated

Hi
Sorry not got back sooner but I've been away, if you could send the details you found I would be very grateful. It was in the names of Blenkinsop and pearson.

County Advertiser Friday Feb 21st 1873
FIRE --- On Wednesday morning, about 5 O Clock a fire broke out in the extensive works of Mr Jerry Robson, house carpenter and joiner, opposite the Bishop Auckland Railway Station and in close proximity to the ironworks. Wear Valley Hotel. Mr Todd's coachbuilding works, and the offices of the gas company. Police constable Coates proceeded to the scene and broke open the door. He also procured some men and buckets from the ironworks, and pitched water on the fire, which was soon extinguished, with little damage. Sergeant Harrison, who was on night duty, was also soon on the spot, having first given information to Mr Robson. The fire had originated in some wood work in connection with the engine, and the works being very extensive, and almost entirely of wood, the timely discovery, and prompt measures adopted it is probable, prevented a great amount of damage. Fortunately a sum of about £10 will cover the loss.
Dont know if this one is any good

Hi Vicars Wife
Very helpful and very kind
Many thanks

Hi
Seeing you mention Hamsterley ...
My first mention of my ancestor Francis Sill is when he fathers an illegitimate child, Mary, on one Jane Chappellow of Hamsterley in 1804. I have the bastardy bond but as yet, although I have his marriage in 1807 to Dorothy Atkinson at St Nicholas, Durham and his death in 1825 in Sunderland I have not managed to find a birth for him. Any viewings would be most helpful. This is a 20 year search which is not yet resolved!

Hi Andrea
Baptism's I have'nt got a lot on.. I have databased anything that I have that does not belong to my tree.. and I am adding to it all the time..
At the moment nothing appears for Sill in the data

Thanks anyway.
Andrea

Hello,
I have 2 births in Sedgefield with George Meggison as father and I have to wonder if they are both illegitimate births. How would I find out? I noticed the reference to Bastardy notes in a previous e-mail.
There is Elizabeth Meggison or Wilson Christening Nov 9, 1816 Parents George Meggison and Mary Wilson
Also, George Meggison or Robinson Christening May 18,1823. Parents George Meggison and Ann Robinson.
I guess it would be impossible to find out if they are the same George as father and what family he belongs to.
Thanks for any helpful suggestions to find out.

In reply to EC3,I notice you have an interest in Todd from Durham,I have a John Longstaff who married Mary Todd by Banns at St Andrew Auckland on 13 June 1835.
I believe Mary was born 20 Dec. 1811 and baptised Jan. 12 1812.
She was a daughter of Christopher Todd 1782-1847 "a native of Nutty Hag near Byers Green and Anni Apedaile.
John and Mary went to New York in 1840s but came on to Australia arriving 1853.At least two children were born New York.

Hi Vicars Wife
I have quite a lot of Todd family data although my main interest is Longstaff.Christopher Todd 1782-1847 who married Ann Apeddaile 1779-1838 had at least nine children including Mary b1811.
Christopher above appears to be the son of a Christopher Todd and Sarah Willey.I do not have an Eleanor but there are numerous children.
The previous generation appears to be William Todd = Jane Rowell and they had at least eight children.
I am advised that the grave of Christopher Todd and Ann Apedaile is in Whitworth Parish Church,near Spennymore in County Durham.
Please let me know if you wish to discuss in depth.

Hi
wonder if you could look for a marriage between a John Johnson and a Sarah, do not know her maiden name and not even sure if it will be there, but I have looked through other transcipts and as yet been unable to find anything. John and Sarah first child was born in 1826 so the marriage could be around about that time.
Janette
-
Hi DustFairy
Do you have an area of when the birth took place.. Or where the marriage may of taken place
The Vicars Wife
-
Hi
With regards to John Johnson and Sarah. They were living in Pelton on the 1841 census. Their children were born in Pelton, Thomas born 1826 being the first.
I haven't been able to locate their marriage, John Johnson born around 1798 and Sarah born around 1803 birthplace listed as Chester le Street. Have had someone look at the marriages in Chester le Street, and I have looked at some parishes around Chester le Street, but again been unable to find a John and Sarah marriage. To be honest, I just thought about searching any others just to see if they were listed, with them probably getting married around 1826 it is too early to search the marriage index. With me not living near Durham, I can't search the parishes for the marriage myself. I am going to send for the birth certificate of one of their children, James born 1838 and it would at least give me Sarahs maiden name.
Janette :D
-
Hi Dust Fairy
I think that your best bet would be to check the Paul Joiners Index on Genuki and there are lots of John Johnson's...
You have a look on there.. and the codes after the names gives an area of where the marriage took place..
If you do get that Birth Cert you would also be able to check on that list for the Bride as well whick will confirm an area..
Its about all I can suggest..
Just Google for Genuki and have a scout around

Hi there,
I would be really greatful for any info regarding Jane Bainbridge, I believe she was born in 1820 to Christopher and Mary (nee Forster). She had an illigitimate son in 1838 in the Parish of St. Giles. I cannot find her anywhere. The child was brought up by his grandparents. I assume she must have married between the child's birth and the 1841 census.
I would also be greathful for any info on Featherstone Hogdson as he is named on the birth certificate of Jane Bainbridge's son. I know nothing about him and would love to find out who he later married so I can trace him further. The Joiner Index shows 2 entries for a Featherston(e) but I think they are too early.....1813 and 1834.
Thank you in anticipation

Hello. I read you posting and had a look at my data base. I have 2 Featherstone HODGSON'S one age 22 and one age 44 on the 1861 census.
Do you think they may be yours ? Adamand
-
Yes, anything is possible.....
No idea which one could be mine though as I have no idea what age he'd have been when he fathered the child. Either could be possible.
What area are they in? I'd be more likely to go for one in a similar area to where Jane was. She was born in Tanfield.
Thank you for looking

Hi Legs
Tanfield is quite a bit north of them but anything is possible! If you leave Durham going south-west on the A690 then Tow Law is a bit north where it crosses the A68 and Stanhope is further on where it crosses the B6278.

PS You should stick to the Sussex boards then you will know where you are1

Dear Vicar's Wife -
My 3xGt.Grandparents were Robert Hodgkinson & Mary Ann Farrell. Mary Ann was born in Stockton on Tees - Durham and Robert in Wigan.
Would you be able to see whether you have any information on their marriage. This would have been c1845 but no further information on whereabouts in Durham if at all !
In appreciation..........
-
Hi Emmerline
I have nothing in my data for these names..
But most of the registrars have an online facility for searching marriages.. for Durham..
I have looked on Durham.. Tees Valley and Darlington.. and only came a across a Margaret for those years..
Looks like they might have been married in Yorkshire..
Ancestry's Beta Index can be searched qtr by qtr all you have to do is register.. and trawl through the marriages.. if you find Mary Ann Farrell in one qtr you can then check on Hodgkinson in that same qtr to see if you get a match
Sorry

Hello Vicar's Wife,
(a) Have you come across any Stouts?
In particular John, Jasper or Mary.
Possible areas: Houghton le Spring/Rainton, Wingate and Coxhoe.
(b) Trying to trace the birth in about 1848 in Thornley of a Ralph whose 1851 census record gives his surname as Mills but this full name doesn't appear in the official BMD records.
Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Johnscotchpiper
No Stout's in the data..
wonder if it would be worth you checking on Genuki..
Paul Joiner has a list of mariages with codes of where marriages took place.. and there are a few places that have baptism ecords on there..
Just might be worth checking

Hello Vicar's Wife,
Thanks for the swift reply and advice.

Hello Vicars Wife - Thank you for your prompt reply. I have had no success with all my efforts in Ancestry etc but will keep looking. Maybe Yorkshire though their first child was born in Rouen, France and then they were all over the U.K. - ending up in Battersea.
Ten children but perhaps they did not marry !
Many thanks for looking for me.

Hi to the Vicar's wife,
I wonder if you would be kind enough to see if there are any members of the Pigg or Pigford family in your database and the Towdoff/Toaduff/Todiff family. They moved around the Durham area but I know they were around from about 1784 in Durham, before that they were in Gateshead.
As they are unusual names with so many variations on the spelling I have been having problems tracking them.
Thanks for your time, Kind regards,
Kathryn

I thought with a name like de Fraine it would be interesting to look for her. Martha de Fraine Hurdley is on FreeBMD born Luton Jul quarter 1862. She is with parents Richard and Martha in Luton in 1871 but by 1881 she is in Bishop Auckland as a boarder.

Hello again the Vicar's Wife.
Do you have any information regarding the baptism of a Thomas Palmer?
This is what I know from the census records:
Thomas Palmer born in St Andrew Auckland abt 1790.
His wife Ann was born abt 1788 in Brancepeth or Steetburn. I have a possible marriage on 11 April 1814 between a Thomas Palmer and an Ann Harrison at Merrington.
Thank you.

Hi Nicky Nothing for either spelling sorry..

Hi Johnscotchipper
St John the Evangalist, Brandon
27th May 1925
Norman Arnison Palmer whose father was Frederick
which is the only result I am getting in my names list..
Have you checked the IGI for St Andrew's Auckland as I know that the records for ASA are quite comprehensive. They have been very well covered..
also have a look on Genuki for Durham.. you might be able to pick up something on the Auckland St Andrews George Bell collection marriages... also check for Merington as I know that its covered

I have two rather large brick walls...one is a John Clazey and Isabelle Oswald marriage sometime before 1815. Another is the Clazey family in Houghton-Le-Spring...James Oswald Clazey and wife are in the 1881 Census but he is gone by 1891...they lived on Cambria Street.
Thank you for looking.

Hi there Vicars Wife, I believe my grandparents were married in St. Annes Church, Bishop Auckland Sep. 1915 Mary E. Ross & George R. Atkinson - would be good to know witnesses, ages etc. - in fact any info. would be good. Thank you, whpool.

Hi
I would love to find further info on my Waltons and Browns.
William walton (from Cockfield)married Elizabeth brown about 1812 Trimdon and they had 3 sons John,William and Miles .John married Ann Rutter I think -William married Jane Pearce in his 50's (1873) but don't know if he was married and widowed and no trace of Miles.
Elizabeths brother Miles Brown (1788)married an Ann (1799 from Ollar) they lived monk hesleden don't know the year but their first son Thomas was born 1821.His other children were Hannah,James,Susmah? Sarah,Elizabeth and Ann.
I'm pretty sure William had a brother Ralph and as most families seemed to have at least four children there are probably loads of them so any info on any Brown or Walton marriages would be fantastic and could help unravel the puzzle that is driving me mad at the mo!!
Many thanks

Many thanks for your reply,and I have to say that my query was on the speculative side,having just looked at the Durham Council Marriage Index,searching for a possible Marriage for one of my Griffiths relatives,a Mary H Griffiths shown on the 1901 Census as the daughter of a William Griffiths born in Cefn Mawr in c 1869 and his Wife Elizabeth(Kell).Mary H was born in c 1890,and yes the Joseph son of Francis did catch my eye,as they lived in Ferry Hill.The possible Marriage is listed for 1908.

Well
Whats the name of your Etherington's ??
As I have Etherington's in my tree... so marriages are not in my data file.. but are in my family history notes...
Whats your connection with them ??
The Vickers Wife

My mother was Etherington. I have my grandfather's marriage and one of his brothers but the other siblings are:
Thomas William
Ellen J to Thomas Tallentire - 1898 but not sure exact date or where
Ernest
Herbert
Beatrice Cecilia m Joseph Jackson abt 1915
The ones without marriage dates were born in the 1870s and 1880s so were probably married in 1890s and 1900s.
Please don't go to any trouble but if we have any connections maybe you could send me a PM? I can see you have been bombarded! Thanks :)

Thank you for the looking up my families, I really appreciate your help :D. I am so sorry I haven't replied sooner, but I did not realise you had replied :-[. I posted a request last June and you answered last October and I did not realise or I would have acknowledged your kindness sooner :(. I am not sure if I did not get a message to say you had replied or if it came in one of the floods of messages I sometimes get and was therefore overlooked :-\, I apologise none the less, your kindness was appreciated and should have been acknowledged :'(. I will now check into what you found for me and see if I can place them in my tree , nothing jumps out yet, but you never know :-\
Thank you for taking the time to help all of us on this thread, we really do appreciate it , even if the thanks is a little late coming :-\ ;) ;D

Hi Lones
No worries...
Hi Josiah
I have nothing for Langton or Lanton .. and have just had a quick look on Paul Joiners list and there's nothing jumping out there either..
Going off the area Staindrop is right on the border... for Durham and Yorkshire.... I have a family who married in Yorkshire and their kids are born in Staindrop..
might be worth having a look... just to see if they hopped the boundaries... also worth checking is that Cumberland border..

HI Emma
Burial St Helen's Auckland

Nothing for Ellwood
and Cunnah now with such an unusual surname I recognise this one..
arggg
No wonder..
I have a Christina Cunnah married into my tree who was born C 1899 at Felling she has an illigitimate daughter called Ivy before she married William Owens in 1922
Her father was called Joseph Cunnah who was born C 1869 at Sunderland and her mother was Dorothy Dawson.. These two married in 1893
Any good
Yours
The Vicars Wife
-
Thanks for the information Vicar's Wife!!
The Cunnah in my tree is a MARY JANE CUNNAH born 1870 in Sunderland, she married WALTER REYNOLDS in 1892.
Looking at the years and the place it could be a strong possibility that your Joseph Cunnah and my Mary jane could be related, even siblings! It's such an unusual surname.
Ill let you know if i find anything!!
Regards

Ah, could Mary Ann be Mary Jane?? I havent been able to find any Cunnah's living in Durham in the 1881 with the same name. It does look like a possible, will have to get the marriage cert for Mary and Walter first, but the bank account cant cope with any more at present!!
Emma

Hi Emma
Ive just been having a search for them on Ancestry in 1881 and I cannot locate this family either.. so they could be badly mistranscribed..

REYNOLDS Walter 1892 Durham Eastern
REYNOLS Walter 1892 Durham Eastern
E13 - 146 - Durham Eastern (1892)
CUNNAH Isabella 1900 Durham Western
ALLISON Thomas 1900 Durham Western
Looks like your Mary J Cunnah and Reynolds were married at Easington Register office..
The Vicars Wife

I thought that it must be a bad transcription too.
On the 1901 census my MARY JANE says she was born Monkwearmouth, and there is also a MARY KING living in the household down as mother -in- law to head of household which would make her Mary Jane's mother. Her place of birth is down as Chester-le-Street.
Now im thinking did Mary's mother marry a KING when she was a widow or did Mary Jane marry a CUNNAH and then marry walter after her husband died!!
All very thought povoking!
Emma

On FREEBMD found
DEATH:
Joseph Cunnah Jun qtr 1876
age 46 Sunderland 10a 332
Cant find a marriage for a MARY CUNNAH to a ? KING though!
Emma
-
thats exactly what I was just looking for
I had the death and was looking for another marriage
lol
The Vicars Wife
The Mary King could be her husbands mother who has remarried have U explored that option ?
-
Walter's mother was called Millicent and she was from Panfield in Essex so this couldnt be his mother. His mother died in 1903, 5 years before his father died in 1908, both died in Essex so this MARY couldnt be Walter's mother!
Mary King's age and place of birth both fit in with the census you have, as does Mary Jane's, apart from the Ann/Jane difference!
I cant find a Mary Cunnah nor a Mary King on the 1881 of the right age either!
Emma
-
I had just noticed the birth places were the same Im on checking for name derivitives for Mary.. :o
but will have to go shortly as hubbys home for tea...
The Vicars Wife
-
Ok, ill keep searching! Look forward to hearing from you again soon!
Emma
-
It's possible i may have cracked it!!!
Emma
-
Well come on then
Dont keep it to yourself!
Nothing coming up for Connah etc that fits the bill
The Vicars Wife
-
A long shot but here goes::
JOSEPH CUNNAH died jun qtr 1876, Sunderland aged 46
then there is a marriage:
MARY CUNNAH to ROBERT LACKENBY Mar qtr 1877, Sunderland
1881 Census RG11 5005/27 p.23
All children now LACKENBY and presumably 2 have left home and Robert's children and their new children.
Then there is a death:
ROBERT LACKENBY died Dec qtr 1884, Sunderland aged 51
Then another marriage::
MARY LACKENBY married JOHN KING, Mar qtr 1885, Sunderland.
I cant find a death for John King before the 1901 census though, so a bit stuck!!
Tell me what you think!!

A lady on the Wales mailing list has found this:
MARRIAGE
Joseph Connor 1853 Durham Central
Mary Hudson 1853 Durham Central
Emma
-
Hi Emma
No wonder we couldnt find him yesterday
On the DCC Site the name's down as Connor
The Vicars Wife
You just need your confirmation from that marriage cert now and your set.. lol
and Ive added Joseph and Dorothy's to my list.. to confirm the father..
and that marriage unfortunately is also Register Office at Durham
-
It was CONNOR here too!!
I've just modified my post! It does look like the most likely candidate , definitely will be getting the cert though!! Will have to be next month now though :( have bought too many recently!
Did you notice a WILLIAM CUNNAH living nearby them on the 1851 census??
Looks like another possible son!
Emma
-
Hi TVW,
I hope you can help me, having great trouble finding these two.
Charles Howard b1843ish in Suffolk married Margaret b1843ish in West Auckland.
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated
-
Hi Sadsack
I can find a Charles Howard and a Sarah on the 1871 census.. Would this be them. ??
Living at South Church which is part of St Andrew's Auckland.
Charles Howard 27, Occ Coalminer born Cavenham Suffolk.
Sarah Howard 27, born St Andrew's Auckland, Durham
William Howard 4 born St Andrew's Auckland, Durham
Elizabeth Howard 9 months born St Andrew's Auckland, Durham
There's also this marriage
Charles Howard and Sarah Waggot married in 1865
married at Bishop Auckland Register Office I think..
If you know his Father's name you could use the father's name for a checking reference to see if it's the right man.. Certificate would have to be applied for.. :(
Nothing else jumping out at me at the min..
The Vicars Wife
UPDATE..
there's also this marriage
Charles Howard = Elizabeth Dove/Cole in 1885
Which seems to be Chester le Street Register Office
and a Charles Howard and Margaret Mewse married in 1884
which seems to have taken place at St James Church at Castle Eden
There's also this Death from Freebmd
Deaths Jun 1884
Howard Sarah 41 Auckland 10a 101
Which ties in with the age of Sarah on the 1871 Census..
The Charles Howard = Margaret Mewse could be a second marriage..
it would be worth getting or checking the Castle Eden marriage from Durham Records Office for a fee of £2 they would send you a photocopy of the entry from the parish register's.. this would state if he were a widow when he married Margaret
The entry number for the marriage in the register would be 161
Hope this helps
Yours
The Vicars Wife
-
Thank you for the help, I am starting to think that Margaret and Sarah are the same person. You are right I will have to apply for the certificate..........
Again thank you
Sadsack
-
Hi Sadsack hope you saw the updated piece
The Vicars Wife
-
The plot thickens, I didn't see the updated piece, but I have now. Which explains a lot because their family (my partners ancestors and Charles' descendants) all hail from Chester le Street. I will call into the Records Office and have a look for myself.
Again thank you for your help, I am very grateful.....
Regards
Sadsack

Would you kindly look up a marriage between John Wilkinson and Mary Atkinson in the late 1820s please? Their first child was Isabelle Wilkinson born 1828 in Hamsterley (according to census) and baptised in Greatham. Any details on Mary and John would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Amanda
-
Hi Amanda
Nothing in my data for these two
but been having a search about..
There's a Marriage at Gateshead Wilkinson and Atkinson that both match up for years.. but I have managed to eliminate these two as they both marry in 1825 but not to each other... lol
and the only other one at the min between 1820 and 1828 that I can find a match for is
John Wilkinson 1824sh, Stranton
Mary Atkinson 1824sh..
Stranton is just on the outskirts of Hartlepool and Greatham isnt that far away from there either..
If you contact Durham Records Office.. for a fee of £2 for photocopy of the said marriage... or phone them up and they should be able to tell you if this is a marriage between John Wilkinson and Mary Atkinson..
With two such popular names... I wish you all the luck in the world..
Yours The Vicars Wife
-
Thank you so much for taking the time to check my Atkinson and Wilkinson marriage. I was already aware of the Stranton entry and suspected this would be mine but had a niggle that there could be a marriage in Hamsterley; at least this has put my mind to rest and I can now follow up the Stranton leads!
Thanks once again Amanda
-
Hi Amanda
Ive checked the entries for marriages at Hamsterley on Genuki
and they were definately not married there..
The Vicars Wife
-
Thank you once again.
Your efforts have prompted me to look up the Stranton marriage at Family History On Line and have a date for the marriage as 24th May 1824.
Stranton is the next village on from Greatham where my Wilkinsons lived through the 1841 and 51 censuses when they were plate layers building the railway from Seaton Carew to Billingham. There is an Atkinson family living in Greatham at this time who may be related to Mary.
Mary listed Morely (Aukland St Helen 1805) and Hamsterley as her place of birth in the census, I have assumed her family were based there rather than Greatham. Her husband John Wilkinson is listed as being born in Middridge (Auckland St Andrew) 1792. I suppose my next stage is to search the baptism records of these parishes, I'll have a look through the IGIs first.
This should keep me busy for a while!
Thanks !!!

Please can you look at the STARTFORTH Marriages for around 1877 and see if there is a Joseph Richardson Marrying a Martha Allison.
Living Street Head Scargill Startfoth.
Thank you

Hi Makayla

Hi, thank you so much for your offer.

I have a John Lowrie, b1851 in newcastle/durham was married (cant find this marraige) then widowed and married again to a hannah maria jones .
Any info at all would be great .

Hi Sue
Sorry
Nothing for any Newcastle marriages
but this is the only Lowery entry I have and its from a newspaper Marriage section
This is from the Auckland Chronicle dated Thursday February 17th 1898
LOWERY - HARRIS --- At the Bethel Chapel Durham. Mr H Lowery to Miss Jane A Harris both of Willington.
Thats it Im afraid
The Vicars Wife
-
Hi,
Thank you anyway for taking the time to look for me .
I though it was a long shot , just trying anything i can , as i cannot get any info on this family before his second marraige in 1889.

Hi there,
Expanding on the request from Maykayla a couple of messages back, do you have anything in your database relating in any way to a John Craggs marriage.
Many Thanks

Hi,
I`m looking for any marriage of a Robert Pearson who was the father of Jonathan Pearson born 1819ish. I have a marriage in Sunderland to a Margaret Pringle. But if you have any others around say 1805-1820 I`d be really grateful for them.
George.
-
Can you look up a marriage for me please in the Pelton area. I am looking for John Hewison b December 1861 Platelayer on railways marrying Mary Stevens b1859. John's father name is Thomas. They have 2 children Sarah b1888c and Margaret b1891. If you have any information on the christening of the 2 children too this would be helpful. Needing to check if Sarah's mother was Mary or if it could have been Margaret. Any information will be very helpful.
Thanks.

Could you please look up a marriage for John Dawson and Mary Elsbury J/A/S qtr 1853 Auckland.I would like any infomation if you can find them.Thanks Maureen

I am not able to look up marriages for Durham. I posted a look up request myself and you have sent this to the wrong person.
Good luck with your research.
Carol.

Ruthy
I had checked on Craggs as I use Control Find on my data so it would have picked up if I had any other's for the area..
George
I have quite a few Pearson's around the Auckland area but for 1900 ish..
Nothing in my data for a Sunderland marriage
Carole
Sory nothing in my data for these two either.. and nothing showing on the Sunderland or Durham registrars websites which is strange. Looked at Hewison Hewitson Stevens Stephens
Maureen
Nothing in my data for this marriage
On the Durham Registrars website
1853 married at Whitworth Church entry no 53
You should be able to get a copy of the said marriage from Durham Records Office for a cost of about £2
Yours The Vicars Wife
-
Thanks. I now think that John Hewison married Margaret ? in 1888. She died in 1893 aged 24 and then sometime before the 1901 census John married a Mary but she may not have been Stevens. Are there any marriages for a John Hewison of Pelton from 1888 to 1901?
Carol.
-
Re: John Hewison and Margaret's marriage 1888.
I have just looked at the 1891 census and Margaret was born at Walbottle if that helps at all.
Carol.
-
Hi Carol
There's nothing..
Ive just had another look on the Durham Registrars and Sunderland Registrars too and there's nothing..
have U got the census info for them for 1901 and 1891 ?
Could U post it please if you have place of birth ages and where they were born
The Vicars Wife
-
The Vicar's wife
Thank you so much for looking for me.I Maureen
-
In 1891 John, Margaret and Sarah Hewison lived at 13 Kennedys Buildings, Hand on Hold. John was 29 Platelayer born at Pelton and Margaret was 22 born at Walbottle Winning. Sarah was 2 and born at Pelton.
I'll come back to you with the 1901 census details.
Carol.
-
Hi Carol
there's a marriage at Chester le Street showing on Freebmd for the Sept qtr 1888 for a John Hewison only one spouse showing an Elizabeth..
You might have to ring the Registrars at Bishop Auckland..which is where all the bmd's are now kept..
Do you know his Father's name ?? as it would help as a checking point.. if not I would try and track down the child's Birth Certificate and order it.. it would confirm both of the parents names.
There's this Birth showing on Freebmd
Births Mar 1889
Hewison Sarah Chester le S. 10a 484
Hope this is of some help
The Vicars Wife
-
Hi,
Thanks for looking for me, your help really is appreciated.
Bye for now.
George.

Hi Vicar's Wife,
I have now got the information that you wanted from the 1901 census about John Hewison. The family now live at High Hold, Pelton. John Hewison (head) is 39, Platelayer born at Pelton. Mary Hewison aged 42, wife born at Pelton, Sarah, 12 b.Pelton daughter. Margaret M Hewison daughter, age 9, born West Pelton (my relation) and Joshua G Stewart, boarder age 15, Colliery Labourer b.West Pelton. I am wondering if Joshua could be a clue and Mary may have been Mary Stewart before marriage.
You also asked about John's father's name which was Thomas and his wife was Margaret. The whole family seemed to all live in the Pelton area and didnt move far at all.
Hope this helps trace one or both marriages. I may need to order Margaret Makepeace Hewison aged 9 above, birth cert, if not. How do I get that?
Carol.
-
I think there is a connection with the Stewart line. I have found Robert and Mary Stewart living at Handon Hold in 1881 and this is where the Hewisons lived. Robert 23 a Grocers Assistant born in Scotland and Mary 26 born at Beamish. In 1891 they are living in Heworth Gateshead St Edmonds, together with Joshua aged 5. I have found a death of Robert Stewart in 1899 but dont know if its the right one and also a marriage of Robert Stewart and Mary Dixon in 1879 in the Durham northern area. Can you check this marriage to see if it could be right and then look for John Hewison and Mary Stewart between 1899 and 1901.
Thank you very much.
Carol.
-
Hi Carol
The Robert Stewart and Mary Dixon Marriage is Chester le Street Register Office in 1879
Nothing for Hewison and Stewart though
Hrmmm
UPDATE
Births Jun 1891
HEWISON Margaret Makepeace Chester le S. 10a 591
-
Hi Carol
I would be very tempted if I were you to order both of the Birth Cert's one for Sarah and the one for Margaret..
The Birth Certs would give you both the parents names.. which would include their maiden names.. then it might be easier to search under their names rather than Hewison.. as there could be a wide variety of spellings for Hewison.. and of course it all depends on the handwriting..
I dont know what else to suggest really..
Yours
The Vicars Wife
-
Thanks for all your help. I will keep looking. When I get the Birth Certs I will come back to you.
Carol.
-
I have now obtained the Birth Certificate for Margaret Makepeace Hewison and her mother's name is Margaret Ann Hewison formerly Scott. Can you please now try and find the Marriage of John Hewison and Margaret Scott possibly around 1888.
Thank you.
Carol.
-
Hi Carol
;D
Not showing on the DCC website..
September qtr 1888
John Hewison Chester le Street 10a 646
Margaret Ann Scott Chester le Street 10a 646
Yours
The Vicars Wife
-
Thats great. We have got there at last. Does this mean they were married at a Church in the Chester-le-Street area?
Thanks for your tremendous help in sorting this puzzle out with both marriages of John Hewison. I did get the Death Certificate of Margaret Hewison (Scott) too. Very sad that she died age 24.
Carol.
-
Hi Carol
because its not showing on the DCC site.. its hard to determine if the marriage was church or register office..
the Chester le Street reg district covers a wide range of churches..
so the only way to be sure of where the marriage took place would be to order it :(
I would recommend anyone to get their main line certs for Births Deaths and Marriage.. as its the only way you know for sure.. your following the right line..
Glad to be of service..
The Vicars Wife.
-
Thats very true. They give such a lot of information to help you to the previous generation.
Many thanks once again.

Hello,
I don't know if a marriage registration will show the parent's names. I have a Robert Meggison who married Jane Davison on Jun 26, 1773 in Sedgefield, Co. Durham. I have never been able to find his parents and would love to do so. Is there any way to find out the details of this marriage in the hopes that the parents will be revealed. According to his headstone in St. Edmund the Bishop in Sedgefiled, Robert was born abt. 1730. He raised his family in Hardwick Mill, just outside Sedgefield.
Thanks for any help

Hi,
If possible could you check if you have a marriage for a Robert Walker (b c 1797) and an Elizabeth (b c 1807).
Robert born Durham (all I have) Elizabeth born Hetton le Hole.
Their first son Christopher born and christened 1826 Hetton le Hole, so presuming that's where they married.
Thank you for your time,
Joan :)

Hello Joan
From the George Bell Index:
Robert Walker married Elizabeth Walker 9 April 1825 at Houghton-le-Spring St Michael
Ashley
-
Hi Ashley,
Thanks for the info. Am I right in presuming that was her MAIDEN name?
Joan :)
-
Hi Joan
That was her name at the time of marriage (i.e. she was a Walker before she married Robert) - from the index I don't know if she was a widow or whether it was her maiden name.
You would have to get someone to check the register to find that out.
Ashley
-
Thanks Ashley
Much appreciated
Joan :)
-
Hi Joan
No problem
You can get free access to the George Bell Index on the Genuki site under the church records section - quite a lot of the Durham parishes are available for certain dates.

Hello, again, Is there any Heslops in the Churches you mention. I think I've had Heslops living in most of the towns nominated. Happy new year!! Ron H.

Hi Vicars wife could you please look on your database for:-
Cleminsons who lived in Stanhope marriages to Smith, Vannen and Headley and
Lindsays who lived in Houghton le Spring (1800 - 1900)
That will do for now as my whole research is based around mainly Durham and some in Cumberland - thanks for any help you can give
Lindy
-
From the George Bell Index for Stanhope to 1837:
9 Jun 1800 Thomas Clementson = Elizabeth Vanin
18 Aug 1808 Henry Thompson = Ann Clemison
23 May 1813 Thomas Wilkinson = Ann Clemmison
24 Aug 1822 Joseph Maddison = Barbara Clemison
9 Dec 1823 William Clemison = Hannah Hill
18 Mar 1826 Thomas Clemison = Jane Whaley
24 May 1834 Alexander Cleminson = Sarah Ord
Hope this helps

Wonder if there is a Pinkney in your information? Am seeking the father of my g g grandfather Robert Pinkney who was born Tudhoe/Whitworth/Durham c1826. Robert married Jane Telford in1850 and his father is down as John (miner). I just cant seem to get past this hurdle. Regards Doreen

Hello, Doreen. I have a Harry Pinkney marrying a Catherine Heslop (b. Stockton in 1900), daughter of Cuthbert Heslop. She is the sister of another Cuthbert. He is the father of Michael Heslop, who now lives in Canada. I'm afraid this gives you little detail on the Pinkney family but might give you an area to check back from..Ron H.

Hi
I am looking for information about the Johnson's including Robert Johnson born 8 July 1811, I know he had a son also called Robert who was born 1847 in Hetton Le Hole and married Mary Curthbert born 1852 South Moor in Durham.
Robert (1811) his father was John born 1780 and married Sarah Jobling both were born in Chester Le Street. if you can find out anything else before this i would be greatful.
On my father's side (grainger) with help from others the family has been traced back to the 1615 and would love to be able to do this with the Johnside also.
Hoping you can fill in a few details for me.

Hi, I'd be really grateful if you could look at the Barnard Castle records for me.
I have a John Hansell b. c 1811 marrying Mary b. c 1815, their first child was born 1837 so I guess marriage 1830 to 1837. John was from Glaisdale in North Yorkshire but Mary was from Barnard Castle, and they were in Barnard Castle for many years so I think they married there! I'd love to find any information on Mary as I don't know anything else about her.
Many thanks

Vicar's Wife has not been online for a few weeks and an earlier post says she has not been well so bear with her if you do not get an immediate reply. You may find Durham records online helpful or put a separate request on the Durham Look Up board with the parish etc in the title and some other rootschatter may be able to help you.

Hi Fernvic
Family search has the marriages you are looking for as
William Batey/Ann Mclish married 15th May 1837 Lanchester Durham
John Noble/Mary Kirkley 7th March 1842 St Andrews Auckland.
You might be able to find their marriages in the parish records.
http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html? Clickon where it says Euope and scroll down to England,Diocese of Durham Bishops Transcripts. Maureen
I use that to find my husbands family

Hi,
I don't know if you go back as far as 1750 but I am still looking for a marriage between Robert Meggison and Hannah someone. I am not sure where the marriage took place but they had 6 children baptised between 1759 and 1769 at St. Edmund the Bishop in Sedgefield while they were resident at Hardwick Mill. Then there was a marriage of a daughter Hannah born in 1852 to Ralph Bell. That marriage was in Nov. 1773 at St. Edmund, the same year as Robert remarried to Jane Davison (in June)
I have searched extensively for the first marriage of Robert and also for his birth, both of which escape me. Robert's monumental inscription says that he was from Hardwick Mill and he died Aug 7, 1792, aged 62 years.
Would be ecstatic if you were able to find this marriage.

Hi Peggy
I can't find a marriage for Robert Meggeson and Hannah in Sedgefield.The only one I can see in Family search is for Robert Meggeson and Hannah Dunwell 19th June 1769 Kirk Hammerton Yorks.So I don't think that would be the one.
If you click on the posting I sent to Fernvic,a couple back from this posting,you will see the link for the Parish records.
Sedgefield only starts from 1769.One of Robert and Hannah's daughter's Baptism's is there. Dorothy Meggeson Baptised 5th Nov 1769.You will find that on Page 3 Sedgefield.
Also on page 11 you will find the marriage for Robert Meggeson and Jane Davison.26 June 1773.
You might be able to find the other children of Robert and Jane on there as well.
The marriage for Hannah Meggeson and Ralph Bell married 28 Nov 1773 are on page 11 as well.
There is a death for Hannah ..wife of Robert Meggeson buried 7th May 1773.also on page 11
Hope that helps.Maureen

Just to say the Vicars wife has got computer problems so it might be a bit before she is on again.
As for Sedgefield records there are in the library they but I don't know how far back there go.

Thank you Maureen and Roger. I did find some records post 1769 but I had those already. Which library would you be referring to, Roger. I live in Canada.
Thanks again

This thread has become very long and involved and as it is really a lookup offer, I am going to lock it and move it to the Durham Lookup Offers board. If you would like a marriage lookup from The Vicar's wife's records please post a request on the Durham Lookup Requests board.
Thank You
Rick :)
