Stuart/Stewart of Gateshead

[WolfieSmith]

On the Gateshead baptism, father Williams occupation is Tinner and Brazier, ie a Tinplate worker.

This will probably be them in 1841 census :

Easington Lane, Hetton le Hole.
William Stuart, 45, Tinner, b. Ireland.
Martha Stuart, 35, N (Not born in County)
Peter Stuart, 14, Y (Born in County)
William Stuart, 12, Y
Ann Stuart, 7, Y
Isaac Stuart, 4, Y
John Stuart, 2 months, Y
HO107/312/8/9/12

Next door is :
Isaac Stuart, 30, Tinner, b. Scotland
Jane Stuart, 35, b. Ireland
John Stuart, 13, N
Henry Stuart, 11, N
William Stuart, 8, Y
Thomas Stuart, 5, N
Eve Stuart, 2, Y
Jane Stuart, 3 months, Y

Next door again is :
Mary Stuart, 60, Ind., b. Ireland
Ann Stuart, 35, b. Ireland
John Stuart, 25, Tinner, Y
Mary Stuart, 25, b. Scotland.

No guarantee its your Peter, but it looks like this family originated in Ireland and made their way to Durham via Scotland and Northumberland.

Thank you for this Alan.  This looks to be a serious possibility.  I will take a look at the 1841 UK Census.

How common were Braziers / Tinplate workers?

I have information about the family of William Stewart, aged 32, 42 & 50 in the 1861 Censuses, when he was described as Brazier, Tin Plate Worker and Tinsmith, respectively. He was living in all those years at Littletown, Durham, with his wife, Jane, and children. He was born at Tantoby [Tantobie] / Collierley Dykes [Dikes] - which is near Tantobie.

Could he be the William who, aged 12, was listed as the son of the Tinner, William Stuart, and his wife Martha, who were living at Easington Lane in 1841?

(I haven't found him in 1851, though there was a William Stewart (27, born Scotland [sic]), visiting the household of Anne Ashton (widow, 43, born Newcastle upon Tyne, Dressmaker), at Oakwellgate, Gateshead). He was described as Tinsmith.)

This William's son Henry was one of the first blacksmiths at Bowburn Colliery, Durham, (which began to be sunk in 1906).

Mike,

Its probably him, but you may need his marriage cert to confirm his father, unless someone can find his baptism.

This looks to be him in 1851

Easington Lane, Hetton le Hole (same place as the William in 1841, same place as the William in 1861's oldest children are born)

Billy Steward, Lodger, Unm, 21, Tinner, b.Shield Row, Durham
HO107/2393/372/11

Shield Row is near Tantobie. I notice he called two of his children Peter and Isaac.

Peter Stewart who married Hannah Wild was the son of William Stewart and Jane Smith

William Stewart was the son of William Stewart (born Ireland) and Martha Wilson (born Yorkshire) they married 1824 in Yarm, Yorkshire


Jane Smith was the daughter of Henry Smith and Alice Francis (both born Ireland but married Gretna Green)

thankyou for the information I already heard of a Martha Wilson who married at Yarm but didn't know how it fitted in as my great grandad was called Peter Wilson Stewart.
