Sorry to be back again so soon with another query but this one is baffling me. ???
I’m researching Jane Ann Sheriff born abt 1871. This is the path I have for her:
1881 census she is with her grandparents in Bedlington; William Sheriff and Dorothy. This says Jane Ann was born in Willington.
1891 census she’s at Barrington Terrace with her grandmother as a domestic servant.
Late 1891, Jane Ann (of Barrington) has an illegitimate son named John Henry Sheriff with a man named John Christie.
1892, Jane Ann Sheriff marries John William Davidson. They have four children; Ann Elizabeth (1892), William (1894), Jane Isabella (1895) and Florence May (1897).
By 1901 John William Davidson is living in Longframlington as a widower with his daughter Florence.
However, I believe Jane Ann is living in Cowpen with a man named William Charlton. Their two children are John Henry Charlton (b. 1891, Barrington) which I assume is her illegitimate son, and a daughter Margaret (b. 1900). There is a birth registered Charlton MN Sheriff in Tynemouth. After that there’s no sign of them.

There's a possible for Margaret [as Margret] in Cowpen in 1911, as a visitor with the Robson family
-
have you got the family in 1871. There is a William Sherriff with wife Dorothy living in Willington, with children
Ann E, 19, b Shilbottle
Esther, 14, b Newcastle
Dorothy, 9 b Long Benton
John W 4 b Wallsend
and grandchild, Dorothy A 10 days, b Killington ?
Is Dorothy (granchild) an error and she should be Jane, or did they later change her name ?

On GRO site
i SHERRIFF, JANE ANN -
GRO Reference: 1871 J Quarter in TYNEMOUTH Volume 10B Page 140
A dash for mother's maiden name would usually indicate illegitimate. My guess she is the child og=f the 19 year old daughter

There's a Jane Ann Charlton born 1871 who dies in 1904 Tynemouth district Northumberland age 33 but no knowing if that was her

May be a red herring but there is a marriage in 1922 in Morpeth district between Annie E Davidson and John A Robson.

And you would be correct with the mother of Jane, born 24.3.1871

There's a marriage Tynemouth district 1872 for an Ann Elizabeth Sherriff, one of the possible grooms is Enoch Thompson. Then a marriage for Ann Elizabeth Thompson Morpeth district 1890, one possible groom William Tait. So looks like Jane Ann's mother

Wow I hadn’t seen all these responses, my emails haven’t been working. Will look through them now

I thought I ruled out the possibility of the Tait family, although evidently there’s a connection now w/ Dorothy living with them in 1901.

So Jane Ann Mackenzie died at some point, and he remarried to Ann Elizabeth (Thompson) in 1890 ???

Should add that John Henry Sheriff may have been with his father in 1911
Netherton Colliery

Charles Christie, son, 11

David Christie, son, 6
James Charlton Christie, son, 4
John Sherriff, 19, boarder, b Barrington
Someone has Jane Ann [Sherriff] as marrying under Jane Ann Tait in 1900 to a John Henry Rutter. 1911 census living at Bedlington with two daughters Mary (1906) and Esther (1908). Clashes with the Charltons but intriguing.
Quarry Row 1901
John Rutter, 38, b Widopen

Possibly this death:
Jane Ann TAIT aged 32 Morpeth (10b/243) Mar qtr 1885

Margaret Charlton mother Sherriff birth registered Tynemouth J 1900, Have you got a scan of this birth, you have her in 1901 with father as William Charlton, mother J Ann and half brother John Henry
the 1901 census doesn't give a precise street address
-
Margaret Charlton born 6 May 1900 at 11 Beecher Street Cowpen. Dau of William Charlton (coal miner) and Jane Ann formerly Sheriff.
I believe I have her marriage;
Margaret Charlton & Thomas Liddle Mar Qtr 1922 Morpeth
1939 Reg Ashington
Thomas Liddle
Margaret Ryder (Liddle) 06.05.1900
Margaret Liddle & George Ryder Dec Qtr 1953 Northumberland Central

14 Jun 1890 Marriage of William TAIT to Elizabeth Ann THOMPSON has her as age 26, abode Chatton and her Father WILLIAM a Gardener.

(FreeREG)
Two different marriages I think just coincidentally very similar to one another in details
Ann Elizabeth Thompson & William Tait Jun Qtr 1890 10b 612 in Morpeth
Elizabeth Ann Thompson & William Tait Jun Qtr 1890 10b 703 in Glendale
I presume the FreeREG will be for the Glendale marriage given it’s in Chatton
-
Ann Elizabeth is a servant in 1881
Bedlington
Robert Fox, 32
Catherine Fox, 35
Mary E Fox, 4days
Ann Elizabeth Sheriff, 29, b Warkworth, nurse
And John Henry was born exactly on census day! That might be why Jane Ann was enumerated twice.
John Henry Sherriff b. 5 April 1891 Barrington, son of Jane Ann, a domestic servant.

Ah that is brilliant, thank you! ;D How sad she died so young, though.
Now that means the Tait/Rutter theory can be dismissed because she died before 1911.
-
its the same announcement with her name missing due to paper damage on pay to view sites ,good find ,and I wasn't at all convinced she had married as a Tait
-
I didn’t think she’d married under Tait either especially with John Henry being with her as a Charlton in 1901.
I am curious about her mother Ann Elizabeth’s circumstances since she seems to be single by 1881. But her marrying as Thompson to William Tait would imply a previous relationship. I can’t find anything else about Enoch Thompson apart from the marriage registration.
