Hello there

Have been researching the Shillaw family name for some years now, if there is anything I can assist you with I would be only too pleased to help. As you can see from my earlier messages on this board my family line is also through Thomas & Mary Ann Shillaw (nee Cole), then to my GGrandparents James Cole & Elizabeth Ann Shillaw (nee Coates).
If you send a private message with the information you require, will see what I can do to help
Unfortunately I have no information on the Carney family.

Not sure if you have this info, but James & Mary Ann were married in Holy Trinity Church, Sunderland.
Unfortunately Sunderland Local Studies is closed until some time in August, where you would have been able to obtain a copy of the marriage.

Possibility it may be staffed for general enquiries you could try contacting them to see if someone could help.

I am researching the war graves in Ryhope Cemetery Sunderland. There is a CWGC headstone for Pte. William Marshall (service no. 25999) of the 3rd Reserve Btn. Sherwood Foresters. His battalion came to the North East as part of the East Coast Defence, sadly William died 28th November 1915 at was when then known as Cherry Knowle Asylum, Ryhope, Co. Durham.
Have struggled to find details about his early life, I have a marriage to Emily Alice Bowring at St. Mark's Anglican Church, Nottingham on the 13th August 1894 and found 8 children from this marriage. But I am a little unsure if this is the correct William Marshall.
Would be grateful for any information regarding William's early life.
When completed the research will be forwarded to the North East War Memorial Project website (www.newmp.org.uk) to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Thanks

I will be going to the Sunderland Local History Library on Monday. If you can send me a personal message with the details of who you are searching for I will take a look and see what I can find.
If you can provide the date of the deaths it would be a good help, if you only have the quarter and year it will take a little longer as the Echo's are not indexed.

Had some spare time when I was in Local Studies in Sunderland  today and had a look to see if I could find any information on your Proud family. If you send me your email address in a personal message I would be only too pleased to forward copies of baptism and burial records I came across.

Will briefly run through them:

Burials for John Proud (Farmer) died 1891, his wife Elizabeth (nee Oram) died 1913

Burials for Thomas Proud (Gardener) died 1925, his wife Elizabeth (nee Reed) died 1953

Burial for Isabella Proud (1868 - 1869) daughter of John & Elizabeth Proud (nee Oram)

All buried in Bishopwearmouth Cemetery, Sunderland

Baptisms for the six children of John & Elizabeth all baptised at St. Michael's Church, Bishopwearmouth.

Robert William Proud born 1858
Elizabeth Ann born 1860
Caroline Mary born 1864
Joseph born 1865
Isabella born 1864
James Oram Proud born 1869

John Proud & Elizabeth Oram were married in the June Q 1857 in Sunderland, checking records I have believe this could have taken place in the Register Office.

Checked for a baptism for Thomas either as Proud or as Oram unable to find anything, will have another look at other churches on my next visit. I do feel that Thomas was born Oram and took the name Proud when his mother married John.

Look forward to hearing from you.
