Hi

Anyone with any info on MORTON family sometimes found in North and South Shields and in Kyloe Parish, Northumberland 1800's - 1900's.

Any help much appreciated

Hi Nataz,

Welcome to rootschat 

Is there any specific person you are trying to find?

Hi Tanya

Looking for Edward and Jane Morton who got married at Kyloe parish, one of their sons Andrew (born 1839 in South Shields, I think) was my gggg-grandfather so any info relating to them would be great...

Hi Natalie,

The nearest match I can see on the 1851 census is this, which you may already have 

HO107/2400 13 19
South Shields Jarrow
Dean Street
David Cook, head, 36 (or 30?), Mariner, b. Durham South Shields
Mary Ann Cook, wife, 29, b. Northumberland Alnwick
Elizabeth Cook, dau, 1mo, b. South Shields
Andrew Morton, brother, unm, 13, Tailor, b. South Shields
Jane Morton, sister, 19 or 9, b. do.

This looks a little mysterious. They could be either half siblings to David or in-laws, I guess. Hmm, not much help, I'm afraid

Thanks for that, I have seen this record and have managed to work out that Mary Ann is Andrew's sister and for some reason Andrew and his other sister Jane were recorded with Mary and David when the census was completed. But thanks anyway

I can't identify the parents in 1851. Have you already requested a 1841 census look-up?
 

[nataz]

Hi
Yes I have found them in the 1841 census, living in Union Alley with around 3 children, one being Andrew but before then all I know is when they were married...

Hi

I am also trying to work these Mortons out.  I have Jane and Edward as Godparents 1800s.  Definately the same ones given the area.
