Durham / Re: Newspaper Lookup, John Leonard Raw d. 1896 of Durham
« on: Yesterday at 15:48 »
Hi Tilly,

Thank you very much for a copy of the death certificate for him, I'm very grateful.

General Paralysis, it seems like an awful, awful way to go; I can't imagine how horrifying that must have been. I remember my family telling me that he died of the "flu", all lies! I'll send you a pm regarding his birth and marriage certificate later on. I do have a photo of him somewhere, I'll try and find that later on.

Thank you,

JackB

Durham / Newspaper Lookup, John Leonard Raw d. 1896 of Durham
« on: Monday 10 November 25 22:48 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone could do a newspaper lookup for me please. I'm wondering of there is a newspaper death notice/obituary for Mr. John Leonard Raw, (1857-1896) of Darlington.

 He died on the 8th February 1896 in Sedgefield Asylum of "General Paralysis of the Insane" aged 38.

Additionally, on his death certificate he is just called Leonard. His names varies between John Leonard and Leonard; but never John.

Thank you,

JackB

Hi,

This is very interesting. Before John Blenkinsopp died, there was a record for Robert Henry Blenkinsopp (another son) at the Bishopwearmouth Boys C of E school, from 1897 (parent given as "John".) Then, in1899 John died, Eleanor moved to Blyth with the children and remarried to Frederick Watson. In 1902, a daughter Eleanor was born; and all of the family was living in Percy Street in Blyth.

Then in 1905, the family was in Bishopwearmouth, where Eleanor, the daughter died. In 1908, they were still living in Bishopwearmouth (15 Hopper Street), and then went back to Blyth. From Blyth they then went back to Bishopwearmouth; this time to Back Elgin Street.

But, on the 1911 census, James is living with the rest of the family at Gladstone Street. Lots of moving back and forth! Strangely, on the 1911 census, Frederick Watson is not with them and Eleanor has recorded her marriage as 32 years?! (It would have been 32 is John Blenkinsopp were still alive.) From 1911 until hear death in 1938, Eleanor lived at Percy Street in Blyth. It's very confusing.

Hi,

Thanks so much for this information. The 1905 one does look interesting. I know Eleanor Rodenby/Watson resided at Percy Street until her death in 1938, and I know at one point Frederick left her. Maybe he left her and took the child with him and went to Bishopwearmouth? I don't know. According to family Frederick "left for America", but I've learnt to take everything what older relatives said with a pinch of salt!

Thanks so much for the information on John Blenkinsopps' burial. I know he was buried in a pauper's/unmarked grave with 3 other people; probably due to lack of money and the circumstances they lived in. I'll look into that Eleanor Watson further.

However, there was an Eleanor Watson born in 1903 in Sunderland which could be a possibility for the above burial; but I think that that burial might be my Eleanor.

Thank you,

JackB

Hi,

Thanks for all of your information. I already have the birth certificate of her, but I'll buy both of those death certificates and see what I find.

Thank you,

Hi,

To be honest, I've barley researched the family of Frederick Watson. There was also a Frederick James Wallgreen Watson, mmn Johnson born in 1867 in Durham, and seen as I could not find another Frederick Watson born in 1867 apart from the one born to William and Eleanor, I assumed that my Frederick was the son of William and Eleanor Proudlock.

I did not look into the censuses of the Watson family.

I'll now remove that information from the original post.

Thank you,

JackB

Hi,
Thanks for that.
I don't know why I put her middle name as Rodenby. I'll amend the post.

Northumberland / Eleanor Rodenby Watson b. 1902 in Blyth
« on: Saturday 01 November 25 16:38 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

My 2nd great grandmother Eleanor Rodenby (1859-1938) married John Blenkinsopp on the 1st February 1879 in Sunderland. They had 7 children together (2 of whom died in childhood),  and she remained married until John's demise due to Liver Cancer aged 44 in 1899.

In January 1901, whilst residing with her children at 5 Percy Street, Blyth, she married Frederick Watson (1867-?), a boilermaker and shipyard labourer from Durham. Frederick died before 1938, I think in America.

On the 10th October 1902, they had a daughter together, Eleanor Watson. Sometime in the 1900s, Frederick left Eleanor and went to America (according to family). Their daughter Eleanor Watson does not appear on the 1911 census with the rest of the family, and I cannot find any marriage or death records for her at all.

If anybody can help me find what happened to Eleanor Watson, born in 1902, the daughter of Frederick and Eleanor I would be very grateful.

Thank you,

JackB
