The Common Room / Re: Help Finding a Will on Ancestry

Ah - that explains it!

I was a bit surprised when my tree took a turn to Kent - it's nearly all northern - so I'm still getting up to speed.

Thank you for your help and the links

The Common Room / Help Finding a Will on Ancestry
« on: Thursday 03 July 25 13:10 BST (UK)  »
Hello!

I have an ancestor called John Brett who died in 1599 in Kenardington in Kent.
On the index site for the PCC Wills I can see the references for the will and inventory which are:

Will: PRC/17/51/378 [PRC/16/114 B/11] the latter seems to be a previous reference
Inventory: PRC/10/30/62

I have a subscription to Ancestry which in theory has the PCC wills for this period but I simply cannot find them at all on the site.  Can anyone else find them please?

Thank you in advance

Durham Resources & Offers / The Sunderland Site

I don't know if this has been posted before - if so I apologise.

The Sunderland Site https://www.searlecanada.org/sunderland/sunderland001.html seems to be run from Canada but it has lots of good stuff including information on the ships made in Sunderland. 

Worth checking out

Hello there

George Robinson married Eleanor Wright at Monkwearmouth St Peter on 4 August 1806.

If anyone has access to the original register, rather than the BTs which are available online, could they please let me know if her father was named?  Witness names would be helpful too.

Thank you

Thanks everyone for all the fantastic information and links!  Brilliant stuff!

I think I'm still being bit behind everyone though - on which document is the latitude and longitude, please??

Hello there

My ancestor, Wilson Orwin, died at sea 4 Jul 1858.

Looking at his final seaman's ticket record - the one which records the death - I can see that he was master of the C Morrison (I presume the Catherine Morrison registered in South Shields, as Wilson lived in Sunderland) and that the ship left on 24 May 1858 and returned 27 Jan 1859. 

There are numbers above which are 14.793, but I don't know what they refer to.

I'm just interested to know where in the world Wilson may have been buried, and if I can learn the route they were trading on it will give me an idea

Many thanks!
