You will also need to have a look at the censuses on Ancestry or Findmypast.

So I need to use that link to get my dads birth certificate using DOB Jul/Aug/Sep Gateshead Vol 10A page 1066 ? Will it have my grandfathers address on?

Just looking at the 1891 census 1901 census and there only seems to be on William R Stevenson but this one is born abt. 1887 and he is born in Collierley, Durham.

RG13/4666/94/page 45

Perhaps this is them - if so they are living with their son in law and presumably a daughter, Edward & Mary Oliver and their 3 children

John Stephenson, father in law, age 54, Mason's lab., born Ovingham, Durham
Christiana Stephenson, mother in law, age 51, born Collierley, Durham
Robert Stehenson, son, brother in law, age 27, Mason's lab., born Collierley
William R Stephenson, brother in law, age 14, born Collierley

Welcome to RootChat

(correction on year of census - apologies for any confusion I may have caused  )

Hi John,

The 1911 would probably be the next step, once you have more details of your father's family, as, with the birth certificate you should get details of both parents names and a recently declared occupation of the (grand)father as well as your father's name.  Your father's second name does not seem to have been listed unless he is in the part not yet released (or mistranscribed which unfortunately is quite likely, from experience).

It's at:

http://www.1911census.co.uk

Free to search but need to pay to view transcription or original page unless you can get into the National Archives at Kew where it's free to view and only 20p per page to print out.

You may need to wait a week or two though as I understand Gatehead was included with Northumbria for some reason and that's not released yet, but other parts of the North East are already on-line.

Also, once you have both parents' names then you will be able to search for their marriage on FREEBMD, and so on.

1901 - William R Stephenson, brother in law, age 14, born Collierley


t would make him very young (but obviously not impossible) to be father in 1903.  

I'm still looking in 1911.  there is one William R Stephenson 22 , no Thomas in the family.   Will carry on looking.

But the easiest and most reliable thing is to get the birth certificate.

Hi again,

you can usually get certs from either the GRO or from the local register office for the registration.

GRO charge extra unless you provide them with the full reference from the national index.

Local register offices can be more flexible (they don't use national index references and sometimes provide a certificate that is derived from a photocopy of the original entry) but some make a charge for postage costs.

Either way it should have the address of the informant (usually a parent in England and Wales) and the full name (including maiden name) of the mother.

As so -

There's a Rose E. Smith b DecQ1913 Gateshead 10a p2076 mothers name Fisher, that fits with an age of 27 in 1940. Don't know if it fits with anything else
