Durham Completed Look up Requests / Re: Help me find G. Grandma Shield

Yes, the only other thing I thought of, was if she was suffering from depression or the like, maybe she was put away somewhere.........
Thanks for trying carole, maybe on my next trip back to the U.K. I should contact a medium and try to speak to my missing ancestors that way!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Carole,
I will have to look further into that one. Perhaps she didn't die, maybe she ran off with the coalman!

Hi Carole,
See she is a phantom!! As far as I know her first child was born in chester-le-street (Edmondsley) in 1921, he died in 1923 and my grandmother was born in 1922, followed by a sister I can't find, and my g. uncle, I have birth certificates for all these family members.  The story was that she died around about the time I said, she was definitely dead by the time the second world war started because apparently my g. grandfather left my 14 year old grandmother to look after the family and enlisted!! He was promptly sent back home.  She is supposed to be buried with the child she lost.  The child who died in 1923 is Miles Shield and he died in the same place he was born, but I don't know where he was buried.  I would dearly love to come to Durham, but I live in Spain (and it's raining)
Thanks again.

Hi Carole,
I think she was born in 1899 because there is a Pheobe Clarke aged 3 of Lanchester in the 1901 census  and yes I got her surname from birth certificates, although some say clark and others clarke, but I have looked everywhere for her death, which my G. Uncle told me was when he was about four and he was born in Dec 1932.  I can't find the marriage either. Unfortunately my G. Uncle died last year so I havenīt anyone else to ask.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Everyone,
I really need some help finding my Great Grandmother, I have looked everywhere to no avail.
Her name was Pheobe Shield, maiden name Clarke, my g. grandfather was william, I am looking for either her marriage or her death and I can't find either.  It looks as though my g. grandfather's first child was born in 1921 in Chester-le-Street.  She apparently died in childbirth in 1935 or 1936 and I think they lived in Claypath.  If anyone can give me some clues I would be very grateful.

Thanks Adam,
I was hoping it was my G Grandmother Pheobe, she is said to have died in childbirth in 1934 ish, but I can't find her death or even marriage, back to the drawing board!

Hi Adamand,
THANK YOU!
You have half solved another mystery I had.  In the 1841 census through till the 1871 census, a John Watchman lives, firstly with Thomas and Mary and then until his death I presume, with their daughter Jane. I wondered who he was,  I thought maybe he was the brother of Mary, but obviously not.  OFF HUNTING!!!

Hi Adamand,
Very exciting!
This could be mine because the two Thomas' and mary tie up and Elizabeth could have been the daughter they had just after they married.  You also mentioned George, is his name on the inscription as well? as I have a George who disappears after 1851.  Are there any other Shield burials in Lanchester?
Thanks a lot!
