Hi
I'm researching my family tree and have a Minnie Brettell that maried a William Kilburn in 1913. These are my Great Grandparents.
I'm trying to find out more information about either side of the family and was wondering if anyone could help...
I think Williams father was Arthur Tully/Pully Kilburn and was married to a Florence but that's as high up I can go on that side of the family....
However with the Brettells I have got a little further.
Minnies parent wher eJohn and Elizabeth Brettell, John's parents Rhoda(Roda) Cartwright and Charles Brettell and Charles parents Samuel and Hannah Brettell... Well thats what I think I may be wrong....
I'm after anything anyone can give me... I would love photos as I've not got any apart from Minnie and William. I would also like to be in contact with any living relative. I know Minnies sibling married and have their details and my Mother confirmed those names for me.
Also a John Hugh Wyatt is a nother person I'm looking for informaiton on he's my Grandfather he was married to Minnie and William Kilburns daughter Enid. Unfortunately during the war Enid and John divorced and the family lost touch with John... Would love to know if anoyone could help me found out what happened to him.

Hi Keren,
Welcome to Rootschat! :D
It might help if you were to get your gt.grandparents' marriage certificate to be absolutely sure of William Kilburn's age and occupation and his father's name and occupation.
Then we could help by finding them in the 1901 census and earlier
The marriage GRO reference is Dec quarter 1913 Darlington 10a 93
Kilburn William and Brettell Minnie if you want to order it through the GRO, or you can order it online from Darlington register office at http://www.darlington.gov.uk/Living/Register+Office/RegOfficeSearch.htm
There is no birth listed on that site for William though, have you any idea where he was born?

Here they are in 1901 census:
RG13/4616 Folio 71 Page 31
91 Thornton St, Darlington, Durham
Arthur Tully Kilburn head m 32 Railway Clerk born West Auckland Durham
Florence " wife m 29 Heighington, Durham
William " son 10 Cockerton, Darlington
May " dau 8 " "
freebmd has a marriage for Arthur KILBURN with Florence BARLOW on same page March Quarter 1890 Stockton 10a 127
freebmd also has Arthur's birth
Mar 1869 Auckland 10a 233 KILBURN Arthur Tully
and a possible for Florence

freebmd also has this marriage
Jun 1862 Auckland 10a 201
KILBURN William Byers and on same page TULLY Mary
This family is on the 1881 census at RG11/4926 Folio 28 Page 50 which is free to view on ancestry or findmypast or famlysearch
William Byers Kilburn is a member of the Royal College of Surgeons.
Arthur is not with the family, I think he's boarding at the Grammar School at Appleby in Westmorland, indexed under Arthur T. MILBURN f: RG11/5198 Folio 13 Page 19.
Hope this helps, although you probably do need that marriage certificate to be sure this is the correct family

Hi Keren,
You're welcome :)
This looks like Florence in West Auckland in 1881 with parents John (a farmer) & Elizabeth - again this is free-to-view on ancestry or familysearch etc
RG11/4926 Folio 72 Page 75
and same family in 1871:
1871 RG10/4887 Folio 32 Page 1
School Aycliffe, Durham
BARLOW
John head m 41 Farmer of 120 acres Stapyleton Yorkshire
Elizabeth wife m 40 Farmer's wife Gilling Yorkshire
Margaret dau 19 " dau Darlington Durham
Anne " 17 " " Westerton "
William son 15 Scholar Darlington
Sarah dau 12 " Coundon
Paull son 10 " Merrington
James " 8 " School Aycliffe
Elizabeth dau 7 " "
John son 5 " "
Joseph " 3
Florance dau 11 months "
I'll leave both families there until you get William & Minnie's marriage certificate to confirm parents, please do come back with the details and then we can go further back.
I see you have another post asking about John Wyatt, mentioned in your first post, it might be as well to make a new separate post about the Brettell/Cartwright families and keep this one for the Kilburn/Barlows to avoid any confusion - if you post details of what you've already found out about them it will save any duplication of searches
Kind regards, Barbara
:)
