Trying to Trace Parents and Grandparents of John Todd

[MaureeninNY]

Welcome to RootsChat from me as well!

Trying to keep up with Trish is impossible  but there's a small newspaper notice for a death:
On the 22nd John Todd, baker, 82.
January 28, 1853 - Durham Chronicle - Durham, Durham, England,

Yes it's tempting to be pulled along by the trees of others but I ignore the best I can. Thank you Trish ,the Hannah Wearmouth line all figures, your information is the same as mine but I've become super confused now with her husband John Todd. I have their marriage as 21-11-1801 at St Michaels All Angels Bishopwearmouth and Hannahs father Joesph as witness but Johns birth, death and parents have me baffled. Hannah died in 1847 and it's seems her husband John went to live with their daughter Margaret (married name Tindle) as he can be seen on the 1851 census at 37 Burleigh Street Sunderland so we know he is alive in 1851 (census says he is 78 and born in 1773 but dates can be inaccurate)So John is still my stumbling block.Trish, you mention GRO, what is that please?

Sorry I forgot to say thank you for all your welcomes. I'm not great at this but I love it.

I hope you saw my post regarding the death of John TODD-baker-aged 82-which matches Trish's findings.

GRO is here:

You do have to register but it's free and VERY useful .

Burleigh Street

Eventually, in the 1960s, the streets around Holy Trinity Church were demolished in a massive slum clearance.  They were replaced by tower blocks that carried the names of some of the former streets, such as Burleigh Garth which covered the area once occupied by Silver Street and Burleigh Street. In turn, these were demolished some twenty years later, replaced by a mixture of tower blocks and modern terraces.

Hi fincagirl,

Sorry I dont understand why you are still confused re John Todd.

1851 he is born c 1773 Billingham

I have given you his Baptism;

John TODD
Baptism 30 Aug 1772, Billingham, Durham
Father: JOHN Todd
Mother: JANE
(Entry on Anc)

+ his Death Reg;

TODD, JOHN age 82***
GRO Reference: 1853  M Quarter in SUNDERLAND  Volume 10A  Page 183
Birth c 1771

Maureen has confirmed his Occp is a Baker from Newspaper Info re his Death
+ explained what the GRO is and given you the link.
(as Maureen said you have to register but free to search)

Also John/Hannah name children Margaret/Jane/John/William etc.
John has siblings with the names Margaret/Jane/William.
His Parents are John/Jane.
It all adds up.

When I started my research I was inexperienced as well and now 12 years later enjoy helping others.

Dear finca girl,  Have you ever considered doing a male DNA sample for your husband to see if his male DNA matches any of the other Todd families in Scotland or Northern England?
