Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: William Potts born ca 1844 in NBL
« on: Wednesday 30 December 09 21:07 GMT (UK)  »
I might be totally off the mark here but in 1861 in Gateshead...........
Thomas Wardle 58, born Heddon
Ellen Wardle 64, born Elsdon
Thomas Wardle 24, born Durham
Elizabeth Wardle 21, born Durham
*Ann Wardle 10, born Gateshead
*Isabella Wardle 6, born Gateshead
*Robert Wardle 4, born Gateshead
***grandchildren

As you can see it maybe just a coincidence that in 1891, staying with Ellen are a daughter Isabella and a son Robert, both of the right age to be the above children and both born in the right area................maybe coincidence ?

Sorry, I forgot to add that, courtesy of another descendant of the Reay family who lives in New South Wales, I have quite a bit of information on this line of descendancy and if it's of any interest to you then Hannah Reay (who married Andrew Reay (1818) was the daughter of Edward and Ann Reay.
Also........
Unassisted Imigration to Victoria 1852-1923
Andrew Reay (Kay) aged 37, Oct 1856
Andrew Steel aged 39, Oct 1856

Andrew Reay returned to England at some point before 1871 when he is recorded as living at Crofton Mill, Cowpen then returned to Australia 19th August 1876 via ''Samuel Plimsoll''
He died 13th December 1879 and was buried at Gladsville Hospital Cemetery, NSW. Cause of death: Pthisis and Melancholia (pulmonary tuberculosis and depression)

Best wishes

Hi Pat
Elizabeth Steel was my gggg grandfathers sister. He was John Steel (1785) Newburn, Northumberland.
Back to your search for Thomas Reay....he was born about 1812, Berwick Hill and died 15th February 1866, buried 18th February 1866 at St. Mary the Virgin, Horton, informant of his death was George Dickinson. Cause of death: Hypertrophy of the Heart, Dropsy

Thomas was the son of James Reay and Elizabeth Steel who were married 31st October 1802 at Stannington.
James Reay died in 1823 and Elizabeth remarried on 14th June 1828 at St. Mary the Virgin, Horton, Northumberland to Thomas Wright
James Reay was the son of James Reay and Grace Stafford

Elizabeth Steel/Reay/Wright born 1781, Plessy, Northumberland died June 1857 and was buried at st Mary the Virgin on 22nd June 1857
Thomas Reay's siblings were:
Jane Steel Reay 1804 -1883
