The Lighter Side / Re: Finding out that you've made a mistake

Not sure if this might be repeating something already stated but the GRO now show the mothers Maiden name on their birth records which can be searched for free. This means that you are now able to identify siblings more easily. I was finally able to put a name to a great Aunt who I knew existed from the 1911 census but hadn't been able to name. Eureka!! There are a few pit falls to watch out for though. I was very confused for a while during one search. I wasn't ablle to find a marriage that fitteed until I realised that the lady in question had been married previously.
I have PARDOE relatives in my tree  to( Worcestershire) can I help at all.

Regretfully I was actually responsible for chopping off a whole branch of some one trees. We had entered into correspondence about an ancestor when I realised that some thing didn't quite add up. We infact didn't have a common link. He had identified the wrong Edward Nicholson on his tree. I debated long and hard about revealing his mistake to him but in the end knew that if it were me I'd rather know. He did seem grateful but I still feel quite guilty about my drastic pruning of his tree.  Elaine

Dear Tilly,
Thank you for your response and offer of help. I currently live in the Czech republic and my friend lives on the south coast, though I beleive she does still have distant family in Darlington. Any additional information to further our research would be greatly appreciated. She quite firmly beleives there is a connection between her Kitchings and the iron founders ( family  stories etc. though I am aware that myths can abound in such tales)
Perhaps if you are visiting the records library etc I could give you some names.
Thanks again for your interest.
Elaine

Thanks for the links. The photos are very interesting. Though I believe that there is an error in the information. John & Annie Elizabeth didn't have a daughter called Phoebe. They had a daughter Anne Isabelle born around 1885 but she died with in a year. The 1911 Census indicates they had 10 children and 9 were still living by 1911 and I have all their birth details No daughter called Phoebe.

My friends ancestors are indicated and descended from 
3 x Gt. Grandfather. William Kitching 1825 -
Married 30/ 5 / 1846 to Rachael Chambers -1900
Children
Thomas Kitching. 1847
William Kitching. 1849
Maria G. Kitching. 1852
John Frame Kitching. 1854
Mary Jane Kitching. 1857.
Ann Jane Kitching. 1859.
Emma Kitching. 1862.
Alfred Kitching. 1865.

I am unable to establish any relationship with the others buried in the cemetery but they descend from William Kitching 1752 - 1819. who was a weaver intially in Darlington and established a shop in Darlington in the 1790's which eventually became a small foundry and hard ware shop, passing to his sons Alfred 1808 - 1882. & William 1794 - 1850. and eventually to Alfred alone on William's death. Alfred was the founder of what later became the Whessoe foundry. Interesting history is provided by Grace's Guide for anyone interested in industrial histroy. http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/The_Engineer .

I would be very grateful for any additional info which might provide the link my friend believes exists between the two families.

Durham / KITCHING. Darlington, Durham
« on: Monday 13 February 17 14:28 GMT (UK)  »
I am helping a friend with her family tree and have come across a road block if not an actual brick wall. A cemetery in Darlington contains several Kitching graves all in close proximity. They appear to be from two separate branches of the family. One, the graves of my friend's ancestors the other graves from Kitching's of Branksome Hall, who are members of the Kitchings who founded the foundry now known as Wessoe. She believes that they are related but I have been unable to identify a common ancestor. Does anybody out there have access to information that I haven't yet uncovered.
