« on: Sunday 03 June 07 18:57 BST (UK) »
Looking for the household and address of George Metcalf and his wife Elizabeth (Betsey) Melvin in 1841-51 and 61. They were married in 1831 in Sunderland.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Joan and Pam

Not easy to read but I think that this might be them (especially with the Melvin relatives living in the household).

1851

Sunderland HO107/2397 Folio 131 Page 52

George Metcalf Head M 41 Mariner Durham Sunderland
Elizabeth do Wife M 37 Essex Manningtree
Dorothy do Daur U 17 ? Maker Durham Sunderland
Elizabeth do Daur 14 At School Durham Sunderland
Robert Plummley ? Lodger U 20 Mariner Norfolk Mundsley ?
David Melvin Nephew 14 Blacksmith App Durham Sunderland
Ann Melvin Niece 4mo Durham Sunderland

No 25 Malings Rig, Sunderland

Betsy appears on the 1871 and 1881 censuses as a widow (shown as born in Essex each time)

Hope that helps.

DS ;)

Hi I am a direct descendant of the Metcalf/Betsey Melvin you asked about on Roots. The Metcalf had no e on the end until 1893.
George Metcalf ships mariner married Elizabeth Melvin(Known as Betsey) on 01/08/1831 in Holy Trinity Church, Sunderland, witnessed by Thomas Noble who was Georges stepfather, and David Melvin,  Betseys father.
Georges parents were Dorothy Wilkin born 1783 Bishopwearmouth, Sunderland, and George Metcalf they were marrried on 03/01/1809. Dorothy died at 21 Church Street Sunderland of bronchitis,  on 13/05/1850.
If you have any information to share please let me know. I am interested in going back to Dorothy and George Metcalf, as I have Dorothys date of birth and death, however I am struggling to find information about the George she married in 1809.
