Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Change of surname on 1901 census
« on: Saturday 07 June 14 12:04 BST (UK)  »
Long awaited marriage cert. arrived!!
Marriage date: 21/11/1854 between John Maley age 29 & Margaret McHugh age 19
Condition: Widower/Spinster.      Profession: Collier
Residence:  Wheeldon Mill Brimington
Father's Name: John Maley & Michael McHugh both Labourers
Witnesses: William Edwards & John Limb

Looks as though it is the correct cert., but no indication of the Gannon surname, also looks as though John Maley was peviously married!

I have Margaret Mellia's birth certificate 1868 born Rainton and states the mother as Margaret Mellia formerly McHugh. Wondered if they were maried in Ireland, but have been looking for ages for a McHugh Mellia marriage, should I be looking for Gannon? Is this unusual or have you come across this before?
Thanks again
Jenny

Brilliant, many thanks for your help, never thought to go backwards from finding John Gannon in 1901, just presumed they had always been Mellia up until that point!  Still curious why they have used two surnames as Gannon has never appeared on any of the Baptism/Marriage etc certs. I have obtained.

Suz, you are correct, sorry I should have put John Walter Cant in my first post, and yes that is the correct birth year for John Joseph Mellia.

Once again many thanks.

On the 1891 census I have my Gt Gt Grandmother Margaret Mellia living with her parents, John and Margaret, sister  Eliza and son Joseph with the surname Millia. In 1901 my Gt Gt Grandmother is married to William Thompson, and I have a marriage certificate for Her sister Eliza marrying James Cant in 1891, on which it states her father as John Mellia.  I have been unable to find John Mellia since the 1891 census, presuming he had died.  I then found on Family Search the same marriage for Eiza Mellia and James Cant stating her father as John (Gannon) Melia. I then looked for John Gannon on the 1901 census and found him as widowed living with another daughter Hannah Murphy, Eliza who is now Gannon and not Cant and her son Walter Gannon. I do know that Walter was brought up with my Grandmother and is on the 1911 census as Walter Cant living with my Gt Gt grandparents.
Has anyone any idea what could have possibly happened?
many thanks for any ideas

 I would just like to say a huge Thank You to Christine for all the research on the Thompson branch of my family she has done for me.  It is much appreciated.

Hello Christine

Just to cornfirm I have the details of a GRO death cert for Margaret Thompson 10th September 1839 at Folly age 36 wife of John Thompson, Tailor.  Informant John Thompson present at death.  So, if this is the correct death cert it means she was born in 1803, casting doubt on the 1815 marriage, I'm beginning to think someone has made a transcription error somewhere, as the dates for all the children seem to fit in well with the 1815 marriage.  What do you think?

Jenny

Thanks for the update, was away all last week so just picked your message up this morning.  You are correct in your assumption the chap with Margaret in his tree assumed that Landshot was her birthpalce, like us he couldn't confirm it.... Grrr!!

Once again many, many thanks for your help with this mystery.
