St Hildas Church, South Shields - HART surname

[debrahdot]

Hi.  I am sorry to ask for help but I have come to a bit of a dead end on the Hart line and wondered if you could be of any help please. 

My great great grandfather was William Hart born about 1820 in South Shields, Co Durham. According to the 1851 census his name was spelt Heart and he is a French Glassmaker living at 14 Harrington Row, Bishopswearmouth and married to Isabella Lumley (married in SUNDERLAND in 1845).  I cannot find William Hart on the 1841 census. I have found a William Hart on IGI Search christened St Hilda’s, South Shields 8 March 1818 with parents William and Ann.  Can anyone check this for me or parents marriage dates etc?

William went on to have a daughter Isabella Ann Hart b 1848 on 1851 census and my great grandfather William Hart b1851 was born later in the census year .

Any help gratefully received.  . I hope you can give me any clues no matter how small! Regards Debbie

Hello Debbie

Welcome to Rootschat!

The full entry for William Hart's Baptism at St. Hilda's is as follows;

8th March 1818, William son of William and Ann Hart, South Shields, (father's occupation) Labourer.

You can browse through a lot of the entries for St Hilda's via the 'searchlabs' site http://www.rootschat.com/links/03oa/ which contains a lot of the Durham Diocesan Bishops Transcripts. To save you time, this entry can be found on Durham/South Shields 1816 - 1825, page 38. If you work backwards from this you might perhaps come upon the marriage.

Have you got William and Isabella's 1845 marriage certificate - presumably his father's name was William?
I see you have put a very similar request to this one on the Durham board so to save possible duplication of look-ups I will put a link on that request to this one.

Hope this is of some help.

Hi
Have you looked at the www.genuki.org.uk site?  I think they have a link to a very good marriage index for Durham so you should check on that as they might have married in the bride's parish.

Huge thanks for your replies.  Sorry about the duplicate posting but I'm new! Thanks for the link to search labs but I couldn't get to the Bishops transcripts - could some one advise me how - please? (I'll get the hang of this quickly - honest!)  I have checked the Joiner Index but no data

Thanks again

Durham Bishops Transcripts are listed on the right-hand side of the home page, under 'Vital Records'.

There is a problem at the moment with the Bishop's Transcript's on line.  I have heard they are working on it.  If you are tyring to get the images to come up and cannot get it to work probably has nothing to do with anything you are doing.

Janis,

I think they are OK at the moment - they were unavailable Thursday and Friday because the 'image server' had a problem, but they seem to have fixed it now.
