Title: Allison family, 1881 - Durham?
Post by: BassinghamTerrier on Tuesday 09 September 14 14:34 BST (UK)

Hi all

Can someone please find this family for me in 1881? I'm guessing it's going to be in Durham, possibly Birtley. I have half of the details in that I know it's RG12/4947 but I don't know the folio, page number or any address details.

• Robert Allison, 31, (don't know the occupation) born Southchurch?
• Esther Allison (nee Oldfield), 50, born (Bishop) Auckland
• John Thomas Allison, 31, born Southchurch?
• Rebecca Allison, 25, born Brent Green?
• Martha Allison, 14, born Lanchester, Co. Durham
• Esther Allison, 12 born Lanchester, Co. Durham
• Samuel Allison, 9, born Lanchester, Co. Durham
• Isabella Allison, 7, born Lanchester, Co. Durham
• grand-daughters Mary Ann (6), Elizabeth Ann (6) and Lilley Ada Allison (2)

Thanks for any help you can provide.

MT ;)

RG12 is the 1891 Census, the 1881 is RG11.

Oops! Correct.  :o
So the detail that I have there is clearly not only incomplete but completely wrong too!

OK ... still need that family in 1881 if possible please!

Brilliant - thank you very much. :)

I'm now hoping that Robert is in the 1891 census, possibly in the same area.
I have a possible death for him, Durham, Mar Q 1898 so that would make the 1891 his final census.
I think Esther dies in Mar Q 1904 in Chester-le-Street aged 71, so she should be with him aged about 59ish.
Not sure about the children.

Anyone fancy a look for me please? And 1901 for Esther?

Thanks in advance again.

MT ;)
