I am looking for my gg grandmother Isabella Lee b 1843 New Shildon. I believe she married Robert Jefferson in about 1862 ( Just need to find a Marriage )
I would really like to find her in 51 & 61. 1851 should tell me who her parents are.
Your help is much appreciated
Carol
PS if you died in Shildon where would you be buried.

John Head marr 72 Coal Miner Durham Stanhope
Isabella Wife Marr 70 Durham Bishopwearmouth
Isabella Gr Dau Unmarr 10 Scholar Durham Shildon
John NINTO Lodger Unmarr 20 Stoker Durham Houghton Le Spring
Two possibles for 1861 but neither living or born in Shildon :-
Isabella LEE dau of Robert and Jane Born White Lee living Crook and Billy Row
Isabella LEE dau of Ann born Thornley living Thornley
Both of these girls appear on the 1851 as well so they can be discounted
Cheers

Heavens just realised I searched the wrong family for you . So Sorry. :-[
Taking into account that on the 1871 William LEE's birthplace is listed as Bishop Auckland, and year of birth about 1844, then I am a bit confused, but this is what I found :-
1861 Census England Durham Crook and Billy Row
RG9/3714/37/26
Commercall Street
JOHNSON
John Head Marr 33 Labourer Durham Darlington
Ann Wife Marr 40/46 Durham Wolshingham
William LEE Son Unmarr 18 Labourer Durham Bishop Auckland
Ann Dau Unmarr 15 Durham Aycliffe
1851 Census England Durham Crook and Billy Row
HO107/2386/249/58
Woodfield Colliery No11
LYALL
Thomas Head Marr 44 Wagon Man Colliery Durham Aycliff
Ann Wife Marr 34 Durham Wolsingham
Mary Dau Unmarr 22 House Servant Durham Aycliffe
William Son Unmarr 19 Colliery Wagon Lab Durham Aycliffe
Anthony Son Unmarr 16 Coke Lab Durham Aycliffe
Jane Dau Unmarr 14 Scholar Durham Aycliffe
John Son Unmarr 11 Scholar Durham Aycliffe
William LEE Son In Law 7 Scholar Durham Bishop Aucklan
Ann LYALL Dau Unmarr 5 Scholar Durham Aycliffe
2 lodgers as well.
Does this mean that Ann JOHNSON was Ann LYALL and also before that Ann LEE??
Hope this has not muddied the waters too much for you

It looks a bit like that. May explain why Isabella was with Grand parents in 1851.
I will start the chase now and see what i come up with.
Once again many thanks for tracking down my family

No worries Carol. Just hope that it helps you to sort it all out. Always happy to help - especially a North Shore City dweller. ( my father in law was born in Milford and lived around that area for many years )

Hi Carol
Thomas Lyall was my husband's ggg grandfather.
Did you ever discover if Thomas and Ann Lee married? The reason I ask is that I can't find a record of Thomas's death. The only one that I can see that could be his shows him dying in 1867.
There is a record of an Ann Lee marrying John Johnson in 1854 but not an Ann Lyall. Was the daughter Ann Lyall as it says on 1851 census or Ann Lee as on 1861.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
