The Common Room / Re: Mary Ann Graham Newcastle upon Tyne missing records
« on: Wednesday 18 June 25 20:51 BST (UK) »What does unconsecrated imply,
Unconsecrated simply means that he wasn’t buried in the section which had been consecrated for use by those belonging to the Established Church, I.e. the Church of England.
The Unconsecrated section of a cemetery was reserved for use by members of non-conformist churches and for members of faiths other than Christianity.

Looking at the description of the enumeration district on page 1 I’d suggest it was some sort of small lane or court.
There are several mentions of it in old newspapers including one in 1878 describing it as containing tenement buildings.

As per my previous reply, I found him on FindMyPast. I searched William Dov*r living in either Hartlepool or Stockton Registration Districts, and had only three results, two named Dover and the third Doverner

Yes, I think 2 Jas 1 is correct, I.e.2nd year of the reign of James 1 (of England)
The spelling is heafer, which must mean heifer.

« on: Saturday 07 June 25 09:08 BST (UK) »In 1871 I search for DOONER but only get DOWNER & DEGNER.
That is strange because he is transcribed as William Dooner on both Ancestry and FindMyPast. I just did a simple search for William Dooner on Ancestry and he came out top of the list
To find him I noted that the two daughters with him in 1881 had been born in Stockton. So it seemed possible that he'd been living there in 1871.
So i searched for a William D*r in Stockton born c. 1836. Dooner looked like a possible match, and so it was
In 1891 I get "Your Search for Doverner returned zero good matches".
Did you search using the census reference I gave? That should find him.
If you are using Ancestry you will find him as William Doveanes.
I found him on FindMyPast where he is transcribed as William Doverner.

No sign of the boys
Don't you think the William I found in 1891 is the right one?
