Emma Ord

[Dazey999]

Perhaps Emma Indria was really Emma Maria Ord - birth registered Q4.1949 Houghton Le Spring?
This would be the little Emma Maria you found in the 1851 census with Isabella Hudson

There are at least two Robert Ords.  Ord is quite a common name in the region.  Looking at the first few years of BMD there are dozens of entries in the north of England for Robert Ord so you will have to be clear which one is yours.  Do you know his occupation?

To Dazzey99 and Sillgen
Thanks Elizabeth Marie strong possibility of being correct, always chance of an error in the transcribing.  Original ships logs may confirm this for me.  I have been told that Ord was a very common name around Country Durham, as I said my Robert was the youngest son of Robert Ord and Ann Bell.  They were either ship owners or ship builders.

When I have a moment I will check the census as I am sure that I saw  another Robert Ord who was in ship building somewhere. Have you thought of looking for wills?  They sound quite affluent.  The one who died in Sunderland in 1874 was aged 61 so born c1813.    Do you have that death certificate?  It would be interesting to know who the informant was.  The marriage that you mentioned to Margaret Moon is obviously wrong so there is a possibility for muddle here.

Andrea.  I have thought at looking for wills, however think that it would be a little difficult for me as I live in Australia.  Do you know if this can be done from where I live?  I think that I will get the death certificate for Robert Ord who died aged 61, I can of course do that from Australia. using Free BMD/ Now sure that the marriage I had to Margaret Moon was incorrect.

Before you order that certificate I should start another post in the Common Room asking for look ups in the wills index for Robert Ord - died in year .... and place .....
Check freebmd and see which ones are possible and then quote them.  The probate index is available at lots of libraries and record offices (probably in Australia too) and gives a brief précis of the contents.  Address and executor also so you can usualy tell if it is likely to be yours.  All post 1858 wills can be odered from the York Probate Office if you decide you want the will.
Another option is to search the census an eliminate any other Roberts that you might find by seeing if they still appear in 1881.

The Emma Ord
visiting Isabella Hudson was born in Woolwhich Kent,

 her two children are

Elizabeth 6

Emma 1 1/2

both children born Durham.

I have looked at Isabella Hudson and I think the possible connection is That she was Isabella Wilkinson that married Lancelot Hudson 30th Jan 1836 Sunderland they had a son Horney Magee Hudson Bishopswearmouth and a daughter Isabella  29Th October 1841,a Emma Wilkinson marries a Robert Ord in Newcastle 1845 ,I cant find the note I made of it at the moment sorry,the other Robert Ord that married in St Dunstans and all Saints Stepney Middlesex Tower Hamlets 12Th Jan 1845 also married a Emma Wilkinson,

I cant read the street address ,
Bishopswearmouth ,
St Michael,
Sunderland,
 it doesn't mention that they are related to Isabella who is a mariners wife ,he her husband is away at sea,

Sorry I made a mess trying to post a messagage using quote,hope you understand what I am trying to say,

That is interesting.  The Middlesex marriage does not show on freebmbd though.  Where did you see it?  Could it have been banns?  Certainly worth getting the certificate for the Newcastle one.
