Hi Boo,

Many thanks for pointing me in the direction of that link. I'm sure it will be very useful for my research. I am looking for dates around 1930 and these are included. I'm looking forward to having a good browse.

Much appreciated :)

Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Got Me Stummped. 1851 Whitby Census lookup Please
« on: Thursday 14 February 19 16:17 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Carol,

I've been doing a little bit more digging and thanks to a previous post by Jennifer Porter I have cast my search a bit further afield.

A google search for Arabella Dora STONEHOUSE turned up a marriage in 'The Empire' newspaper' in Sydney, dated Saturday, October 24, 1874. Transcript as follows:
"Woollahra.
On September 26, at Trinity Church, Glen Innes, by the Rev. G. M. Johnson, H.A.,
William, son of William Henry Archer of Brooklyn, New York, U.S.,
to Arabella Dora, daughter of Matthew Charles and Elizabeth Stonehouse, of
Lithe, near Whitby, Yorkshire, England."

The newspaper can be found on the TROVE website - the Australian equivalent of the BNA.
I hope this helps in your search.

Find a grave also have mention of her burial in Rookwood Cemetery.

Kind regards

Joan

Hi,

I have looked up the birth registration for Arabella Dora STONEHOUSE on the GRO Online Index. The GRO ref. is as follows:
Arabella Dora Stonehouse, 1841, Dec Qtr., Registration District, Whitby Union, Volume 24, Page 497. Mother's Maiden Surname, JOHNSTON. My suggestion would be to apply for the birth certificate. I have had no luck with searches for death registration 1841-1861.

The GRO Online Index is a good place to search for free as it also gives the mother's maiden surname for registered births between 1837 and 1918. You can also search death registrations between 1837 and 1957.

Durham Lookup Requests / Jarrow Cemetery, Brogdon Family Grave
« on: Saturday 13 October 12 14:57 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I wonder if there is anyone who would be able to establish if there is a headstone on a grave in Jarrow Cemetery please?

My great-grandfather and his two sons are buried in Section 9, no 283 of Jarrow Cemetery. My great-grandfather was Robert Fittis BROGDON, died 20 January 1933, aged 72. His two sons also buried in the same grave were Cyril Robert Brogdon, died 6 June 1924, aged 21 and Robert Frank Brogdon who died 26 March 1915, aged 5.

If anyone could help and let me know if there is a headstone in place I would be extremely grateful.

Regards

Joan

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Hexham Courant: John Stratton Brogdon
« on: Wednesday 05 September 12 19:13 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

This is an update on John Stratton Brogdon. :)

I have just spent a very prodigious week in Haydon Bridge & Hexham. I visited St Andrew's Cemetery, Hexham and located the family grave where John Stratton Brogdon is buried alongside his wife and his parents. The manager of the cemetery was extremely helpful and as well as looking at the burial registers he also took me to the family grave. I also found a couple of other ancestors' graves.

I then went to Hexham library where I found the article in the Hexham Courant dated 16 April 1932 that Jen had so kindly looked up for me. This proved to be a lengthy article detailing John Stratton's life and his funeral. I cannot believe how much information I have gleaned from one newspaper report. However I am very proud to say that John Stratton Brogdon was a very highly regarded young man, both professionally within medical circles and also in the local community. It was a very tragic loss of a young life but he died doing something he loved, climbing in the Lake District.

I want to say thank you again to everyone who has contributed to this research and to Jen for the lookup, and Davidft for pointing me in the right direction to find Dr. Brogdon's wife, Adèle.

Regards

Joan

Hi everyone,

The detail on Scottish Records is fantastic. This is a summary of what appears on the death certificate of Adèle:

Adèle Constance Brogdon aged 26, died 21 April 1925 at 2.00 pm. in the Nordrach-on-Dee Sanatorium, Banchory-Ternan, Kincardineshire. Cause of death: Pulmonary Tuberculosis (1 year, 1 month). Informant: J S Brogdon of Brougham Terrace, Hartlepool. It also names her father and mother.

I had a bit of trouble deciphering the handwriting but Genuki.org.uk helped with the Parish name. I then googled Sanatoriums in Banchory-Ternan and I found the Sanatorium in question. It seems it was a private sanatorium for Tuberculosis patients and closed in 1928 due to new treatments for the disease and the decline in numbers of patients suffering from the condition. Sadly Adèle did not survive.
