Cumberland / Re: Would he be a colliery blacksmith?

Thanks GeoffE

I really meant it when I said I am thinking things through! I am currently following through on your suggested possibilities. I'm a little slow at the moment because I am enjoying doing a really interesting on line geneology course with Pharos that is taking up a bit of my time.

I appreciate the help and the time you have taken to research for me - thanks. I'll let you know what I find (unless you beat me to it)

Hi

I live in the Ashbourne area and would be happy to try and help out - looking for gravestones etc.

I know that the local registrar in Ashbourne has local records that I can look up if you have some specifics you want to check.

Let me know iof I can help

Thanks for your responses - they help me think this through.
 
On Williams marriage cert. he is living in BArrow in Furness - he was married March 27 1863 at the parish church to MAry Ann MAcmillan

All his census inf. is, as you thought, after his marriage where he keeps stating his age and birth place. The only William Tyson I can find in 1841 is of the right age and living with his grandparents( HO 107/156/15) - the Mossops- I found the marriage of an Abigail Mossop to John Tyson in 1829 Gosforth Cumberland but I am not sure whether I should follow it through (or how far) since I don't know what I am looking for to find the link!

 I couldn't find an Abigail and John in the same census so you could be right and his mother is dead (the marriage cert does not say the father Jonathon is deceased). As his name  is Jonathon on the cert. I don't know whether he will have used Jonathon or John ....and there are loads of John Tysons.
 Any suggestions would be very much welcomed

Cumberland / Would he be a colliery blacksmith?

I am trying to trace Jonathon Tyson with very little information. No wife's name, marriage,  no birthplace or parents.

On his son William's marriage certificate ( 1863)Jonathons occupation is given as blacksmith. I have no birth cert. for William but all the census info points to him being born about 1837 ( I have no mother's name). William gives his place of birth as Workington so I am assuming the family lived in Workington. I travelled up to the RO at Whitehaven but had no luck finding William's birth registration/baptism.

As there are mines in Workington would the blacksmith bit be a colliery blacksmith - and would there be any records I could check?

Any help to break through this brick wall much appreciated
