Thanks for the information I have no other information at moment, as I am new to this and I don't understand how to look up information in records what all the codes mean.

Any help you can give would be great.

Many thanks

Hi Karen,

a good place to start is the Beginners board on Rootschat, click on this link for some good ideas, lots of help and tips:

Is Joseph your direct ancestor?  If you'd like a copy of Joseph's birth certificate, you can order it through this local register office website http://www.middlesbrough-indexes.co.uk/search.php or through the General Register Office (GRO) online at www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ using the reference numbers I gave you ealier for his birth

Birth marriages and deaths 1837 onwards can be looked up on the free site freebmd and there's a link from there for ordering certificates.

Census information can be found on paysites like ancestry or findmypast.

If you'd like to have a look on these sites - it's much more interesting to do it yourself!
Otherwise I can look up other census for you 1841-1901, just ask

I see you have another thread about John Parr, and so may already have the right 1841 census for him, so I've linked it to this one in case we all look up the same census information.   other thread here http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,356858.msg2341448.html#msg2341448

You can see the 1881 census free for him here:

Interesting, because now we see that children William, Samuel, Robert and Hannah are stepchildren and surnamed Shields

Marriage:  Dec 1878 Middlesbro'    9d   1007
 PARR    John           SHIELDS    Mary   
this record is also available through Tees Valley indexes http://www.middlesbrough-indexes.co.uk/search.php
The marriage cert should show John's father's name and occupation, to confirm the 1841 census I've posted on your other thread

1901 census RG13/4579 Folio 32 Page 6
388 Canon Street, Middlesbrough

PARR
John           head mar 63  Grocer   Beaford Devon
Mary        wife  mar 56     "        Cumberland
Hannah M  dau unm 21 Grocers Assistant  Yorks Middlesbrough

Joseph       "            15     "                          "         "


I think this may be Mary Shields in 1871:

1871 RG10/5241 Folio 27 Page 48
No.22 North Side, Seaton, Cumberland

SHIELDS
William    head m 30 Iron Worker  Ireland Armagh
Elizabeth   wife  m 29                             "       "
Eliza          dau       8 Scholar         Durham
David        son       6     "                   "
Samuel       "         5     "             Cumb. Workington
William        "         3                      "              "
Bella         dau       1                       "              "
Samuel  brother m 22 Iron Worker  Ireland Armagh
Mary  sister.in.law m  20                      "         "
William  nephew   1 month             Cumberland Workington
Joseph Muldrew    boarder unm 32 Shoemaker  Ireland Armagh

This may be their marriage:
Mar 1871  Cockermouth    10b   623
Shields Samuel       Muldrew  Mary   

and first husband's death Sep 1875 Stockton    10a   41 
SHIELDS    Samuel aged 25
