Hi, To start with, would like pictures of headstones of my great grandparenrts who were buried in Redcar cemetary, which is near the racecourse, later on might be interested in others. Thanks. Sorry tried the websites for William and Mary Lonsdale, but it came up no records found. Thanks


Are you still looking for photos of these headstones?

Oh Martins explanation for growing up without a mother was she died in child birth.

Hi keyboard 86 yes they lived in Scotland after Hannah's death.....departure....its all a bit murky i was told as a child by my grandfather who was explaining the family connections (ie his daughter was my mother etc) that he grew up without a mum i was heartbroken as a child would be and it has always stuck with me,when my grandparents died they had every birth,marriage,death certificate going along with photos but nothing on Hannah except the name on my grandfathers birth certificate.

I have been on Scotlands people and found 78 births for a Hannah Brown 69 deaths.....just trying to narrow down the possibilities and cost.

i also thought that the Hannah death in Durham was out of the natural child birthing times of the era.

On another note.....depending on how you look at it....i was told by a spiritulist that Hannah in fact left the family with an older son after a dispute and monies went walking with her,but i have found no evidence of this

there is a possibility of an older child but none that i have heard about within the family.

Hannah's maiden name on the birth certificate is Beck and married Brown,its a kind of Scottish tradition to use mothers maiden name as childs middle name hense Martins name.

I understand the dressing up for the photographs just thought that with the mention concert hall connection maybe something in it,as i have photos of James' parents who were in the salvation army and photos of an aunt who was a fortune teller.....(crystal ball and all )

 Good afternoon,i have been doing my family tree on and off for a while now and i am totally stuck,i have grandfathers birth certificate which gives names of parents but i cannot find his mother (B,M or D) the family story is that she died in childbirth with my grandfather......or shortly after.

To add to the problem grandfather was born in England but his father and rest of the family is Scottish,so i am not sure where grandfathers mother was born or where parents got married ( if they did) or where his mother died.

thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you in advance for any help given.
