Hi all,
I have just returned to this site after many years away from working on my family history.. in fact its 3 years!!And now I am back 
I was looking through some information i had gathered and for the life of me I do not know how or where i got it.  I am hoping that some one may be of help...
I have traced back by 5xggrandfather Samuel Ord christened 30.11.1783 married Christian Robson 26.03.1805 then remarried Sarah Fisher 25.05.1818.  I have all the relevant information from this date forward.. then I noticed I had Samuels brothers & sisters ... I need this confirmed if I can
 Father EDWARD ORD (looks like wife Mary???) Lamesley St Andrew
Children THOMAS ORD (Chowdean) 27.06.1773
             JOSEPH ORD  (Chowdean Foot) 07.04.1776
             MARY ORD (Eighton Banks) 23.03.1777
             GEORGE ORD (Eighton ) 02.05.1779
             ALEXANDER ORD (Eighton) 10.05.1781
             EDWARD ORD (Cow Close) 29.01.1786
             JOSEPH ORD (Cow Close) 15.03.1789
             JOHN ORD (Cow Close) 22.01.1788
             
Can I ask....1)  Are the Birth places close to each other
                  2)  Can anyone confirm these are Samuels brothers & sisters or am i barking up the wrong tree lol!!  As I said not sure how I got this info 
If I am on the right track how then will I find any information on the father EDWARD ORD - I have literally searched every where I know to no avail... he does not seem to exist - that is why I thought maybe I was wrong..
Cheers for any help

Hi Ali - long time no message, I have just got back into looking again (the winter here is keeping me inside!!)
Are you able to look into the Inverboyndie Cemetery for me? Any Watson/Downie/Lovie
headstones would be of great help and importance.

Once again thank you for your help with my query

With kind regards

Hi all
Am not sure if the census is complete for Durham yet - if it is - can I please have a census look up for:

Jane Ann Ord born 1878 South Shields

in 1901 living with husband Ralph Watson Ord in Thornton Street Westoe
children Eleanor & Sarah J
Ralph died in 1911 so I am not sure if he was at census night or not???

Thanking you in advance
Kind regards

Hi Barbara,
Thank you very much for your information.  It would seem that from 1777 with the birth of Mary at Eighton Banks to 1788 with the birth of John at Cow Close these may be the children of Edward Ord as we have the names of Mary, George, Alexander, Samuel, Edward right through our line, however, no Joseph or John seems to follow the line.  I was searching on IGI and may have the marriage of George Ord b 1779 to Martha Robson on 28.5.1803 with children Mary, Ralph, Luke, Joseph, Jane & Isabella all born Chester Le Street.  The above names are also following our line (Ralph is my fathers name,  my ggrandfather name and gggrandfathers name) and I actually wondered where the name originated from as it just appeared, so it could have been from the childred of Edward Ord & Mary.............. with my research so far (at least 3.5 years) I have noted that names are very important in the family line.

My 5 x ggrandfather Samuel Ord born 1783 Lamesley also married a Christian Robson (bastard daughter of Mary Robson) in 1805 in Chester Le Street and have been trying to make a connection with the Martha Robson that his brother married in 1803??  - Its very tenuous at best, but stranger things have happened in our family (my ggrandfather Ralph Watson Ord married Jane Anne Ranson and his brother Edward Alexander Ord married her sister Margery Ranson) so it does happen!!

I understand you have furnished me with a heap of detail, however, do you have access to any other marriages for Edward & Mary......

With kindest regards for all your help
