Hi,

Welcome to Rootschat.   :)

Two thoughts:   how clear is the writing; could it be Town Hill, Newcastle?   Could it be a caretaker's flat at the Town Hall?

Hi ,Nanny jan


Just been looking at the marrage certificate again and it still looks like it says Town Hall. However my great gran dosnot seem to exist before she got married no birth or census records seem to match whats on her marrage certificate. I thought getting the certificate would make it easier to trace her ,ha ha I'm learning.

There are 7 families living at Town Hall Buildings in the 1881 census, Newcastle St. Nicholas. One is the family of the Town Hall Superintendant.
Who are you looking for, maybe someone on here can find her.

Cumberland - Irving, Hill
North Yorkshire - Layfield,
Ireland - Collins

A distant cousin of mine was an official called a town sergeant in Aberdeen and lived in a flat in the Town Hall (or Town House as we call it).

The surname is strongly indicative of Irish origins.

There is a Mary Giblin, age 10 b. Middleton Yorks with a sister Catherine, age 7 b. Newcastle-on-Tyne as an inmate in the Ragged School, Newcastle in the 1871 census.
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.
