Thanks for the replies.

Unfortunately the married name is a common one too, which makes it difficult to get a second marriage for her. Paternal grandfather had a unique first/middle name combo which made him traceable.

My estrangement includes all family members on the paternal side. For safety reasons I can’t do direct contact.

Admittedly not the best circumstances to be building a tree with :-[

Durham / Ramshaw - trying to link potential siblings
« on: Friday 26 December 25 13:40 GMT (UK)  »
My greatx5 grandfather was Robert Ramshaw b. 1816 Pelton, coal miner, who married to Eleanor Coxon in 1839. His father’s name was Joseph Ramshaw. He went to the USA in 1869.

1841: John St, Kelloe w/ wife Eleanor & daughter Mary
1851: Main St, Monk Hesledon w/ wife Eleanor, children Edward, Jane Joseph
1861: Dragon Villa, St Giles w/ wife Eleanor, children Jane, Edward, Joseph, Francis, Mary A, Robert

Next door to him were Joseph Ramshaw & Elizabeth Laing nee Ramsay, who I think could be his siblings.

Elizabeth Ramsay b. 1818 Penshaw. She married Joseph Ritchie in 1836 and then William Laing in 1838 at Newcastle. Her father was named as Joseph Ramsay. However, in 1871 census at Low Moorsley her father is named as Joseph Ramshaw, b.1791 at Callerton.

1841: Quarry Row, Kelloe w/ husband William & dau Ann
1851: Houghton-le-Spring w/ William & children Ann, Marshall, John, Joseph
1861: Dragon Villa w/ William & children Marshall, John, Joseph, William, Robert, Jane A
1871: Low Moorsley w/ William & father Joseph Ramshaw

Joseph Ramshaw b. 1825 Northumberland. (Just started researching him so my only info is the 1861 census)
1861: Dragon Villa, living w/ wife Jane and dau Elizabeth (6)

I would like to try and find if these three could be connected in any way. Any help is appreciated  :)

Was there a newspaper account of the marriage?

No newspaper account as far as I can tell.

George Aubrey is separate from George Alder (if that is what’s being implicated)

Difficult having to be ambiguous but will try!  ???

They married in 1968, Durham. Cert states she (grandmother) was aged 18, born around 1949-1950.

They had three children born 1969-73 but they had separated by 1980.

Previously I’ve had trouble with finding out about my paternal side (estranged). I managed to piece together a path and successfully ordered a birth cert for my father and marriage cert for his parents.

Paternal grandfather has been easy enough to trace. On the other hand, paternal grandmother has a very common name and there are lots of possible births in her age range.

I’ve tried matching up these births to a marriage that matches MMN and her father’s name, but nothing. I would really appreciate any ideas on how to proceed. This is in Northern England.

George Snr buried at St Peter Cambois on 5 Oct 1956, aged 67. Address 11 Marshes Houses West Sleekburn (FreeREG)

Also a “Corporal Logan” aged 22 buried 3 July 1940 which given death date, I assume is Robert

Had hoped a will might’ve been in George’s name the estate is for a widow instead

LOGAN George of 11 Marshey’s Houses West Sleekburn died 2 Oct 1956 at RVI Hospital Newcastle to Ethel May Logan widow

Thanks, I’ve previously looked at William Lynn Harper but I couldn’t find anything conclusive that would link his mother to my Jane Jr. :-\

I believe his father was William Lynn b. 1832 at Murton. He married Sarah Smart in 1860 at Tynemouth and died in 1861.

Jane Snr was in 1851 listed as a coal miners widow living off the parish relief. I don’t know when Thomas Harper Snr died though.
