Title: 1861 Lookup request Durham
Post by: chartreuve on Monday 16 August 04 00:41 BST (UK)
Hi,

I'm desperatly searching for this family :
The 1st april of 1862, their daughter Isabel was born at 128 High Conside, Conside & Knistley, and the parents of Deborah (Richard and Isabella Pratt) seem to lived in the surroundings at that time

Thomas Halliday (or Holliday), 25-30, born Cumberland, metal refiner
Deborah Elizabeth Halliday, about 25, born Birtley
Thomas Halliday, 7, born Lanchester
William Halliday, 1-3, born Port-Clarence

Thanks in advance

Greg

Hi Greg

I have found the person you are looking for on the 1861 census i am also giving you details of a second person i believe must be related to the first even though the surname is spelled differently, i believe this is only because there is two enumerators and they have spelled the same name differently. Here are the details.

John,

YOU ARE MY SAVIOR !!!

I was searching for the information you gave me for months.
I'm French (nobody's perfect  ;), and it is not so easy to get information from the other side of the Channel.
I have two questions for you (sorry for the quizz, nothing to win  :(
- Where did you find this information (in a local archive center, CD-ROM, Internet...)
- Do you have any reproduction of it (image, scan....) ?

Anyway, thank you again for this.

If you ever need something in France... I'm your man !

Best wishes for 2005

Greg
