listers, ...i have an 1881 census listing from earsdon, northumberland for a widow mary LARWOOD (born spittal), and son michael (born blyth). ...would anyone have access to a prior census that might show mary's husband? ...i believe him to also be michael LARWOOD, married to mary elcoat in newcastle-upon-tyne in 1799 at st andrews. ...i would be interested in any information that could be shared concerning the larwoods of north england and scotland. ...please, and thanks. -xXx- mona

Hi Mona, I checked your Mary LARWOOD on the Earsdon census, she was born in 1813, so could hardly have been married in 1799? Maybe she was the daughter of Michael Larwood/Mary ELCOAT? For your info, the Earsdon census entry were the only Larwoods in Northumberland in the 1881 census. There were no Larwoods in any of the Scottish border counties (Berwick, Selkirk, Peebles or Roxburgh).
