Mamakaz

Thank you for Archibald's death reg and dying so young, that would certainly explain his disappearing off that Census as head of the household?!   

Is South Shields anywhere near Durham?   

Cheers

Um, I don't think so.  This must be the son of Archibald & Christina.  Archibald senior would appear to be dead by 1911, but I can't be certain without seeing the transcript.

Little Nell

And Mamakaz,   yes,  you must be right, Mamakaz's posting of Archibald's death, must be the Jnr Archibald..........   

And, yes, I found that South Shields isn't far from Durham     

cheers

morning Dan, x

                       it takes ages to go through every quarter of every year, i think my mind must have been scrabbled when i thought that was archi, lol

and yes, i think i found my Charles, i was suprised to find a C B Aitken death registered in my neck of the woods (about 3 miles away)  the death age fits,
i might pop down to the reg office and pick up the death cert, x

[Danchaslyn]

 

Mamakaz

You have the spirit and tenacity to keep going and you deserve to have found the huge clue you were searching for.................you have a reg office nearby?  Thats great!   

You are also a wonderful and inspirtional help to others, thank you for all your help.   

Can't tell you how much I'm crossing fingers for you that its the C B Aitken you are looking for       

cheers
