In this case he appears to have been taken ill and was in the Dispensary on the Sunday Night and, correctly has been enumerated at that address. You also get cases where people are visiting relatives over the weekend and are also enumerated at two addresses. In Sunderland Monkwearmouth & Southwick Hospital started life as the "Monkwearmouth and Southwick Dispensary" in 1873, on Roker Avenue. Changed its name to "Monkwearmouth and Southwick Dispensary and Accident Home" in 1881, and to "Monkwearmouth and Southwick Hospital" in 1890. Stan Mapstone

The names I am researching in County Durham are descendants of Philip Duffy and Barbara McCarrick immigrants from County Kilglass Sligo Ireland in 1850/1851. The children were Patrick Duffy James Duffy Anthony Duffy Catherine Duffy Francis Duffy Bridget Duffy Philip Duffy John Duffy

Does anyone have access to the parish records for St John Lee? Isabel Scott married John Waggitt there on 15th Feb 1704(5). I am looking for her baptism presumably around 1684. If she and John used the standard naming pattern for their children I would expect her father to have been called William! John

Members may be interested in the 'Your Archives' initiative which has been set up by the National Archives. http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php?title=Home_page This is a 'wiki' based initiative, allowing registered users to submit and amend articles according to their knowledge, or access to records. A couple of areas which are expanding rapidly are: - Users submissions of transcripts of PCC wills, which have usually been obtained via documents online, another of the National Archives initiatives, which you may be aware of. - A series of articles on the records available for individual Royal Navy Ships of the 18century - Addition of all the census street indexes held by TNA, those for 1851 are well advanced, and 1841 has started. Some examples of street indexes are: http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php?title=Place:Sunderland _Registration_District%2C_1851_Census_Street_Index Articles/pages can easily be created, and need not necessarily be highly polished, as collaboration is one of the keys (as with Wikipedia). I have added a number of transcripts of wills, extracts from chancery cases, and have started to add some small pages (to be expanded) on some of the more obscure place names within Longbenton parish which occur on the 1851 street index. Eg http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php?title=Place:William_Pi t%2C_Longbenton%2C_Northumberland As well as being able to use this as a source of information, please consider submitting pages, and thus sharing some of your valuable local information. For anyone interested in contributing, there are help pages to assist, but if I can answer any questions I would be happy to do so if I can. Dave

Barb, presumably you have William Hall's birthdate from a reliable source. If so and you are looking for a birth registration, eg to obtain a birth certificate, then you may need to consider where the birth was registered and whether he was registered as William Hall or with another forename combination. Using Ancestry search there are 4 William Halls registered in the December quarter 1894 in Stockton, Easington or Gateshead districts in Durham. Also George William Hall in Chester le Street and Joseph William Hall in Gateshead. If there is any doubt about the year, then there is, for example, a William Hall registered December quarter 1895 in South Shields.

Hello, I am also researching this name. My great-great grandmother was Margaret Hindmarch (born c1843 in Sunderland and married James Wilson Hogarth in 1863. Margaret's parents were Thomas Hindmarch and Margaret Milner who married in 1840 in Sunderland. Thomas was born c1825, but I have been unable to find his baptism. I do however know that his father was also a Thomas. I would be very interested to hear from anyone with information on this line. At Thomas' marriage in 1840 his occupation was recorded as Superintendent of the Durham Railway. Does anyone know if records exist for this railway and where I might find them? Any help greatly appreciated, Mark Etheridge.

Hi Barb I was going to say you could check yourself on freebmd but just checked to see if they were there first and neither event are No births registered for a William HALL in South Shields 1894 or a marriage for a Mary HALL to an Alexander SWAN at any time anywhere I don't see them via Ukbmd either Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > Would anyone on this list be able to help with a birth lookup for my > grandfather William HALL born October 20, 1894 in South Shields England? > > I am also looking for a marriage of Mary Elizabeth HALL to a Alexander > SWAN between January 1903 and October 1903 possibly South Shields. > > Thanks > Barb > Nova Scotia Canada

Staff at The General Register Office in London have transcribed my 3 X Gt Grandfather's job in 2 different ways on an 1850 Marriage Certificate. The reason I have 2 copies of the same certificate (one transcribed in 1977 and one in 1990) is that the earlier one was obtained by an uncle of mine and has only just come to light. On the earlier certificate his rank or profession is given as Waistman and in the latter as Hoistman. Assuming that it is difficult from the handwriting to decide on the first two letters of this job, I wonder if anyone can give me a best guess. The man, Matthew STOKER (1794 - 1867), father of the bridegroom William STOKER (1831 - 1869), was 56 years old. In earlier records he was described variously as a Pitman, a Coalminer, a Collier and, on one occasion in 1841, as a Sinker. He lived in Philadelphia, near Houghton le Spring and had apparently worked in coalmines from the early 1800s until the 1850s. Mike Stoker

The first Isabel(la) Scott I could find in my index and transcript of St. John Lee was 23 Sept 1705 d/o John of Buckley. Janis

Dear all,   Someone on these lists is bound to have had a bellringer amongst the ancestors. Here's an interesting article from yesterday's Journal.     "the ledgers reveal some fascinating insights into the history of the Durham and Newcastle Diocesan Association of Church Bell Ringers, who commissioned his work. Unlike their respectable image today, bell ringers were “a rowdy bunch” during the 18th and 19th Centuries, says Duncan. “They would bring strong drink into the belfries, which was frowned upon by the church authorities, and they were looked upon as a disreputable bunch. “The Durham and Newcastle Diocesan Association was formed to bring them to order.”   See balance of article here: http://www.journallive.co.uk/north-east-news/todays-news/2009/03/24/rowdy-history-of-bellringers-revealed-61634-23217420/ __________________________________________________________________ Instant Messaging, free SMS, sharing photos and more...

Hi Adi I have no idea where the a, b, c etc came from in Sandi's mail but there are only 6 questions This is what it should look like :- Copy and paste the questions below into an email, add your answers and send your responses to [email protected] Q1. If the probate calendar was available on the internet, would you use it? Q2. If you would use it - how often would you use it? Q3. What probate information would you be interested in seeing online, and why that particular information? Q4. Would you like to order copies online, and be prepared to pay for them online? Q5. Would you prefer to access the calendar online, but order and pay for copies by post, or by telephone? Q6. Would you be prepared to pay a premium to the fee, in addition to the normal cost for a more immediate service? Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) Hello Sandi, I started out to reply and then realized that not all of the questions are in your post i.e. 'b', 'd', 'f', 'h' and 'j' are missing. Can you repost please? Regards, Adi

Would anyone on this list be able to help with a birth lookup for my grandfather William HALL born October 20, 1894 in South Shields England? I am also looking for a marriage of Mary Elizabeth HALL to a Alexander SWAN between January 1903 and October 1903 possibly South Shields. Thanks Barb Nova Scotia Canada

I would bet on it being Waistman or more correctly Wasteman, a Durham term for a man who kept in repair the ventilation roadways in the mine, http://www.dmm.org.uk/educate/mineocc.htm#w. Hoistman does not appear to be a mining term. Stan Mapstone

Hello Ray, I have a HINDMARSH/HINDMARCH connection, but all instances seem to be around the Pittington, Littletown area. don't know very much about them, except that I have a marriage notation for William HINDMARSH and Jane TURNBULL on Feb 12th, 1826, at Lamesley, Durham.
