There are a few John Hall marriages between 1861-1871 with possible Elizabeth A brides

Sunderland 1864
Chester le Street 1867
Durham 1870

You could work through those seeing if you can match up the marriage partners

Thank you for the suggestion, I will work through these and get back to you.  :)

Does the 5 month old grandson listed in 1861 belong to him?

James Falconer Hall mothers maiden name Dickinson



No, son of brother Storey Hall.

Yes you are correct. Storey Hall and his wife Jane Dickinson (my 3x great grandparents) are the parents of James Falconer born 1861.

Family History Beginners Board / What happened to John and Elizabeth?
« on: Friday 19 December 25 11:59 GMT (UK)  »
Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is well.

Lately I have been revisiting my paternal grandfather's tree (Hall) and I have come back to my 3x great grandfather's older brother once again, and hoping that turning here we might be able to solve what happened to John and Elizabeth.

What i know: John Hall was born in 1839, South Shields, to John (Master Mariner) and Ann. He was last recorded at home with his parents in 1861 as a Mariner at Cornwallis Square. He was a widower. (I have not found out who he married first). The next census, which I believe is him, he lives at Cornwallis Street as a Mariner with his wife Elizabeth A. who was born Waterford, Ireland. I cannot find a marriage though...

Then I hit a brick wall.

I would appreciate any help in finding out what happened to them.

Thanks,
SkyeSpotter.

Family History Beginners Board / My Gran in the Newcastle Evening Chronicle
« on: Thursday 11 December 25 18:40 GMT (UK)  »
Evening everyone,

The other night I was scrolling through newspapers on FindMyPast, putting random family members names in (as you do on a cold December night!) and I came across one for my late Gran, Marion Wilkinson. I know this is definitely her as her address was next to her name.

She was in the Newcastle Evening Chronicle in the 'Gloopers club' part of the newspaper. I was wondering what this club was all about and maybe someone on here might be able to shed some light on it?

There is also 'Uncle Nick's Special Postbag' included in it?

Her short story (written in 1931 when she was 10 years old) won a 'postbag prize' that week and was published. I shall attach it here for anyone interested to read! (Let me know what you think!  :))

Thanks for any help!
SkyeSpotter.

Thanks so much SkyeSpotter.

Yes, that’s definitely her! She was my Aunt by Marriage to her first husband.

No worries! There is also a probate i found on FindMyPast for Gertrude Ivie under 'Collings' too.  :)

Found a reord on FindMyPast for Henry Marshall, born 1814 Shields - one of the ships looks like the Jenny, 1835 voyage. 1835 Lloyds has a Jenny, 82 tons (my earlier effort at Jessy?). His other ships as Captain, 1835-1837, look like Cumberland, Alpha, Salus, Thames (these records often hard to read)

That's interesting, I have found it on FindMyPast. Do you know what the numbers mean? (e.g. for Cumberland it has "Feb '38 75/171")


Thanks for the link to the research guide also!  :)

That's what the link is for -eg "75/171" identifies the ports sailed from/sailed to. Check the list.

Great, thank you!
