I have an Ordnance Survey map of Scotswood for 1895 and there's still some farmland around even then. I'm not sure Elswick would be much different. Elswick Works opened in 1847, but I'm not sure how quickly Elswick spread because of it, or when it was swallowed up by Newcastle.

From 1861 to 1881, he's always listed as a cartman and he's moved closer into Newcastle, around the Westgate area. Maybe the farm's gone by then. In 1891, he's back in Elswick, still a cartman.

I have an 1851 census sheet I downloaded from Ancestry way back when, but I'm no longer subscribed to them. In my infinite wisdom, I never noted the lookup info for it and now can't find it at all on Find My Past (I won't go on about how bad they are now, that's for another thread).

The person I'm looking for is James Pye, 24 years old, born in Newcastle on Tyne and he's a farmer's son. He's listed with his wife Ann, son John (F. ?), daughters Hannah and Jane A. and a visitor, Arthur M. Howard. They live on Elswick Lane, Elswick, Newcastle on Tyne. The piece number on the sheet is 2404 and James appears right at the top, schedule #183. The number 45 is on the top of the sheet, but I don't believe that corresponds to the page number (?).

Since I have the piece number, all I'm really after is the folio and page numbers.

P. Jones/Pryce Jones was performing baptisms and burials  at St John's in September and October of 1838.

The marriage was on 13th of October, so I think we'll say Pryce.

Thanks for the vicar. First witness, anybody?

First, I'm after the name of the vicar. I get Jones, but not his first name.

Second, is the first witness. William is easy enough, but the rest has got me. Is that a middle initial, or "le"?

Any help appreciated.

I need some help with the condition on this marriage certificate. I can read 'formerly the husband of Agnes Calder formerly Burnley (?) (?) from whom he obtained a divorce'. Can anyone read the missing words?
