FITTES and HISLOP 1851 1861 1871 1891

[Kiwi007]

Hello!

I am helping a lady research her family. So far, I have found Sarah FITTES who married in Tynemouth in 1873, then re-married 1875 Newcastle on Tyne to George HISLOP, a mariner.

George and Sarah HISLOP seem to be in Liverpool in 1901 - George says he is 55 so birth about 1846. He also says he was b Nth Shields, however, I cannot find a birth on Free BMD to match.

I am hoping to find him in an early census to locate his parents - tricky I know!

I am also after Sarah FITTES family - all the children were born in Wooler, Northumberland_

Parents John & Sarah - no other details

Sarah b 1851

Mary b 1853,

jane b 1854

James b 1856 ( found him in 1881)

George b 1859 ( found 1881 )

Queenie b 1861 ( found 1881)-she married John Robert DAVEY in 1882 and died 1906

Ann b 1864

I am wondering if the family moved to Newcastle on Tyne after the birth of Ann - I found a death for an Ann b 1863/4 there which could be the girl above


Also found a death for a Sarah FETTES aged 70 , in 1899 in Berwick- b abt 1829 . I cannot find her in 1881 though

The name gets mispelt  ALOT, so I am hoping we can narrow things down by using Queenies name as a good-ish clue!

Fingers crossed.

Kind regards
Kiwi

I can't seem to find either John or Sarah after 1891 .. therefore your death for Sarah in 1899 looks like a good possibility.

In 1901,  John their son was living with his wife Jane and family in Wooler but no sign of the his parents .. 

RG13/4849, Folio 64, Page 34

Indexed as Fettis.

If you would also like the above details, please don't hesitate to ask ..

The 1851 census is confusing me with regard to the marital status
of John .. this looks like a birth for his daughter Sarah .. ?
