Hi Alan,

Thanks very much for all of this information, it's very interesting, yet so so tragic.

Thank you very much for this.

So it seems like an apparent suicide because he was in ill health. How unfortunate that is, I really can't believe that.

Thank you,

Durham / Drowned At The North Dock In Sunderland, 1902?
« on: Wednesday 17 September 25 20:47 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I'm trying to find information about my great great granduncle, Thomas Pigg Blenkinsopp. He was born in 1857 the son of George Scott Blenkinsopp (1827-1869) and Mary Pigg (1830-1905). He married Mary Louisa Wright in 1887 and lived in Victor Street, Monkwearmouth, Durham, England.

I know he died in 1902 in Sunderland, and I've heard something about him drowning in a dock in Sunderland. Was this accidental? Or was it a suicide? Would anybody be able to try and help me find newspaper reports (if there is any) into the death and drowning of Thomas Pigg?

Thank you very much,

JackB

Lanarkshire / Govan Poor House Burial Records
« on: Wednesday 10 September 25 16:05 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

My 3rd great grandfather George Scott Blenkinsopp died on the 23rd June 1869 at the Govan Poor House. He was living with the rest of his family at 12 Marlow Street, Kinning Park, Glasgow, but fell ill with Typhoid and was admitted to the Govan Poor House where he died aged 41.

I'm trying to find the burial information for him, but I've really hit a brick wall. His grave would probably have been unmarked (they were very poor and all 10 of them lived in a 2 room tenement) but I would still like to know where he was buried.

I presume it may have been in a mass grave.

Would anybody be able to help me with this?

Thank you,

JackB

Census and Resource Discussion / Re: Can't Find Somebody on 1881 Census
« on: Saturday 06 September 25 12:55 BST (UK)  »
Hi Alan,

Thank you very much for your information. Yes, I remember my grandfather telling me the story of Mary Blenkinsopp being burnt. From what I remember, she also had a sister, Sarah who died of Diphtheria in 1896. From what I can gather, prior to 1888, the family was at Johnson Street, from 1888-1896, the family was at 14 Exeter Street, and from 1896, to the death of John in 1899, the family was residing again at 17 Johnson Street.

Census and Resource Discussion / Can't Find Somebody on 1881 Census
« on: Saturday 06 September 25 12:02 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I'm unable to find my 2nd great grandfather, John Blenkinsopp on the 1881 census. He was born in 1854, and in 1879, he married Eleanor Rodenby at Monkwearmouth. In 1880, he and Eleanor had a daughter, Elizabeth Jane, and they were living at Johnson Street, Monkwearmouth Shore, Durham.

He was a rivetter in the local shipyard, and died on the 18th August 1899. Interestingly, John and his family are on the 1891 and 1871 census, but I'm having some trouble finding him on this census.

If anybody can help me find him, I would be most grateful.

Thank you,

JackB

Durham / Re: Mary Ann martin
« on: Wednesday 03 September 25 18:35 BST (UK)  »
There is a Mary Ann Martin baptised at Durham, on December 28th 1862 at St. Cuthbert, Darlington, the daughter of Richard Martin and Jane.

There is another Mary Ann Martin as well, the daughter of Christopher Martin and Jane, also baptised in the same church in 1861, but I'm sure this one died in 1929.

Hi,

If anyone has any people in their family tree with the last name "Blenkinsop" and any of the variants etc. especially in the Northumberland, Durham and Sunderland areas I would be very grateful to hear from you. I am specifically interested in Blenkinsopps between 1700-1900, especially in the parish of Bishopwearmouth.

If anybody has any connections, documents, certificates, or information etc., please send me a pm and I'll get back to you.

Thank you,

JackB
