Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Corsenside St. Cuthbert's
« on: Sunday 17 August 14 15:31 BST (UK)  »
Many thanks Christine,

I'm sorry for my late reply, been away for a little while.  I've just received a microfiche of the monumental inscriptions, so need to have a good look at it, but a quick glance didn't reveal anything on either of my two John Forsters buried inside the church. 

Back to searching ......

Kind regards, Shirelass

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Corsenside St. Cuthbert's
« on: Sunday 03 August 14 10:01 BST (UK)  »
I visited St. Cuthbert's at Corsenside last week.  Most beautiful situation, and I was hoping to find some old memorial inscriptions for my Forster family, two of whom, both John Forsters, in their wills, had requested burial within the church.  The floor is now concrete, so nothing to see underfoot, but I wonder if any memorials were noted by anyone before the floor was repaired, I think c.a. 1914?  Any ideas where I might find the information.  I've emailed Northumberland Archives, but haven't had a reply yet.

Kind regards, Shirelass

US Lookup Requests / Re: Hudson Robinson Moffit - Murray Township, Alameda, California, United States

Hi barryd,

Hudson Robinson Moffitt baptised in 1832 is buried in South Shields in 1833.  The next Hudson Robinson Moffitt's birth is registered in the July/Aug/Sept qtr of 1840 in South Shields, and he appears in both the 1841 and 1851 South Shields census.  Thereafter, he vanishes from UK records.

Thank you for your reply.

Kind regards, Shirelass

Thanks, Shellyesq,

I'll try and trace his baptism in Maine, to see who his parents were.

Kind regards, Shirelass

Hi Sandra,

Many thanks for the reply, but the Hudson Robinson Moffit I'm looking for was born in the U.K.  I think he may have signed up for the American Civil War.

Kind regards,
Shirelass

US Lookup Requests / Hudson Robinson Moffit - Murray Township, Alameda, California, United States
« on: Saturday 03 August 13 18:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi folk,

I'm trying to identify a Hudson Robinson Moffit who shows on Ancestry as in the Voter Registration in 1867 in Murray Township, Alameda, California, United States.

One of my ancestors was Hudson Robinson Moffit who last appears in the 1851 UK census.  He was born in South Shields, Co Durham, UK in 1840, son of John Thompson James Moffat and Jane Nicholson.

Does anyone have him in their tree, or have any knowledge of him in California?

Any help very much welcomed.

Kind regards, Shirelass

Durham / Re: BROWN burial in Benfieldside/Blackhill Municipal Cemetery
« on: Sunday 21 July 13 16:51 BST (UK)  »
Dear PatB,

I'm utterly stunned with the wealth of detail you've sent me!  Thank you so very much for taking the time and trouble to reply so helpfully, and so quickly too!  Many of the entries will help me so much.  I'm fascinated by the fact that John Brown may have married twice.  I was very much hoping that one of his children would be named Catherine, and here is the burial of his child Katherine, as I think his mother was Catherine too!  I'll chase up the marriage certificate to confirm that it is a first marriage for him.

Again, I can't say thank you enough for all this wonderful help.

With my best wishes, Shirelass

Durham / BROWN burial in Benfieldside/Blackhill Municipal Cemetery
« on: Friday 19 July 13 09:22 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

John BROWN, b.c. 1856 Hexham, Northumberland was living at 6 Dale Street, Blackhill in the 1911 census; at 15 Furnace Row, Benfieldside in 1901 census and at 4 Furnace Row, Benfieldside in 1891 census. 

In 1911, he shows as having had 6 children, 3 who had survived.  On a recent visit to Durham Record Office, I found burials at Benfieldside/Blackhill municipal cemetery for 2 of the children who had died:

20/11/1889 Phoebe Ann, dau. of John Brown, 2 months, 4 Furnace Row
24/5/1894 Eliza, dau. of John Brown, 2 months, 4 Furnace Row

Can anyone possibly help with the burial of the third child of John Brown?  Somehow, I've missed it, and can't get back to Durham Record Office for a little while.

Many thanks for any assistance.

Kind regards, Shirelass
