Family History Beginners Board / Re: Watson's of Durham
« on: Sunday 25 February 24 08:48 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks Neale,
 I have looked at Mary Byers but can't yet link her with William, Thomas or Ralph. Will keep her in mind.
As William & brothers were baptised at Hart in parish of Grindon I looked for marriages in the area and came across John Watson's marriage to Anne Young in 1762 in Hart along with baptism of their son John also 1762. I am just guessing this is my John.

Thanks again.

Thank you both.

 I have looked at Mary Henderson but I haven't been able to link her to Thomas, William & Ralph as yet.

The same goes for Mary Denton.

Thanks again

Durham Lookup Requests / watson's of durham
« on: Sunday 30 October 22 14:54 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

Can anyone help me please as I am not having any luck with my family history search.

 I am trying to trace my 5x great grandfather John Watson.

My 4x great grandfather Thomas Watson was christened in Grindon, Durham in January 1788 son of John & Mary Watson.  Thomas's brothers William & Ralph were also christened in Grindon.

As Watson is a common name I am not having any luck identifying John & Mary.

I would be most grateful for any help

Thank you

Thank you Daisy Petal,

I looked at Thomas but ignored it as name and ages didn't match but I will look at the links you provided.

Thank you Heywood,

Yes I think this my Jeremiah & Ellen, I will look at both places you provided.

Thank you both once again

Family History Beginners Board / Leahy/Lahey, Hagan, Gurran family
« on: Tuesday 05 April 22 17:59 BST (UK)  »
 I am researching my family history but not getting very far so would be grateful for any help.

What I know so far.

My great grandfather John Leahy married Mary Hagan at old Roman Catholic Cathedral in Middlebrough in1896 their parents were Jeremiah Leahy and James Hagan.

Jeremiah Leahy/Lahey married  Ellen Gurran in1874 registered in Stockton but was probably Middlesbrough, they were both born in Ireland.

Thanks

Jeremiah's father was Jeremiah and Ellen's father was Martin
