Hello Listers I have been endeavouring to trace a time of death in respect to my 3 x g.grandfather Alexander Robertson. All that I know of him todate is that he married at Jarrow on 26th June 1791. His wife Mary ROBERTSON, nee SAMPSON, baptised Alnwick 30 July 1769 survived him in South Shields until 1844. At the time of the 1841 census she was living with her youngest son Thomas Robertson(1795-1872). My next lead will have to come from a signature on the indenture documentation for the two sons, William Robertson (1792-1861) & Thomas Roberston (1795-1872). Both these sons were originally shipwrights and lived in South Shields, so would surely have been apprenticed. On another occasion, my grandmother's g. grandfather, Wynham RENNISON aged 11 years, was apprenticed on deck on the 3 April 1795. Fortunately the original of this document has remained in the care of my immediate family and it revealed that his mother had signed these indentures. This action confirmed that her husband, Ephraim Rennison, had passed on earlier. I have now established that Ephraim was buried in St Hilda's cemetery. As you will note Wyndham was 11 years older than the William mentioned above. Could some kind person direct me, if possible, to a source which could provide me with access to indenture information for South Shields resident apprentices say in the years 1805-1815? Kindest regards Alan Bird Brisbane Qld Aus.

Hi I understand that the numbering of the houses in Spohr Terrace in South Shields was changed, perhaps in the 60's. The older houses used to all have even numbers and they now all have odd numbers. Does anyone know what the numbers 42 and 44 of the 1920's now correspond to? Likewise, I have been told that what was number 9 Madeira Terrace in the 1940's and 50's is now number 18. Can anyone please confirm this? Duncan Rippon

Hello Listers I'm trying to find out what happened to Adam Shearlaw. Adam Shearlaw was born in Belford in 1874 to Moses Shearlaw and Margaret Stewart (Stuart). In 1894 Adam married Margaret Ann Murdy (my Grandfathers sister) in Newcastle on Tyne. In 1901 census Margaret Ann is a with her parents in Newcastle as follows RG13/4771, Folio 106, Page 13 George Murdy, Head, M, 62, General cartman, Northumberland West Weetwood Mary Do, Wife, M, 61, Do Chester Hill Margaret A Do, Daur, Wid, 26, Do Benwell George T Do, Son, M, Son, 24, General cartman, Do Benwell Mary E Do, Grandchild, 6, Do Elswick Elizabeth E Do, Grandchild, 8, Do Elswick George T Murdy Do, Grandchild, 3, Do Elswick John Moran, Boarder, S, 26, General labourer, Durham Shincliffe George T Do is listed as married - he was a widower at this time Elizabeth E is Georges daughter Margaret A Do listed as married - (depends on Adam Shearlaw) Mary E and George T Murdy are children of Margaret Ann Murdy and Adam Shearlaw. Birth certificates give Adam Shearlaw as father. Margaret Ann had another daughter Beatrice Ellen in 1903 and the father is shown as Adam Shearlaw In 1905 Margaret Ann remarries to a Joseph Blaylock So what happened to Adam Shearlaw. Did he die, go abroad..... If he died was it before 1901? Or later between 1901 and 1905 (when his wife remarries)? Was there a divorce? I have checked Army death lists (Boer war etc and later for WW1). I have also checked migration lists but no sign of him. I have several references to other Adam SHEARLAW's and SHERLAW's around the Northumberland, Durham and Berwickshire areas but details do not seem to fit the individual I'm looking for. If anyone can shed any light on what happened to Adam please let me know. Ideas of where else to look would be appreciated Many thanks Bill Murdy Clinton, Michigan

Amongst my late mother's books I found one inscribed 'Annie Tough St Hilda's Coll Durham'. She was not a relative but I know that she was born circa 1877 and her parents were James and Jane. They had at least 11 children between 1859 and 1880. Annie never married. Her sister Caroline (who married William Beavis Grieves in 1903) took my mother in after her own parents died. If anyone is connected to the family I would happily send them the book for the cost of the postage. It's a small book! John

Joyce Carr Thank you for your advice on the death of a Mary Robertson in South Shields in the qtr. ended June 1844. I have now examined the burial entry in the Pilot Scheme and it reveals that the Mary Robertson resided at King St, and she was aged 47. This indicates that she was not my Mary Robertson. So the barrier I described in my first email now rises even higher. Mary Robertson age 70 years appeared in the 1841 Census as living at 3 West Pan St South Shields with her son, Thomas Robertson, but there is no mention of her in the 1851 census. Meanwhile for many years her son lived in West Pan St., as did other members her family. In the 10 year time frame within Co. Durham only a very few deaths occurred for a Mary Robertson. The only one that I could not search in the Pilot Scheme was a death at Sunderland in the quarter ended Mar 1843. Joyce Carr thanks very much for your advice on this subject. Has anyone one else any thoughts on this matter? Kind regards Alan Bird Brisbane Qld Aus JOYCE CARR wrote: > I found the following in the National Burial Index: > > 18 Apr 1844, Mary Robertson, 47, Durham, South Shields, Holy Trinity > > Regards, > Joyce Carr > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > **

Russ I have Jonathon Hogg, wife Mary, with Children John, (died young) Thomas Jonathon Uzzan and Elizabeth. My connection is thru Elizabeth who married James Nelson. Gwenda Hello, I've been researching my HOGG ancestry recently, and my question is more historical than genealogical, but I think that it falls within the guidelines for the list. This part of the HOGG family, and related families, lived in the Rothbury, Longframlington, and Netherwitton areas in 1740 to 1800. They were mentioned in parish records as living at Hope, Woodhead, Ritton White House, Hazon High House and other places. These appear to be farms, and are remote from other settlements. I would imagine that farming in such a period would be a laborious, dawn-to-dusk business, so there would not be much time available for socialising. All of the settlements are reasonably distant from one another, perhaps 3 to 6 miles, so how did prospective partners meet? Once a week at market? How did they manage to visit each other? My thinking is that an ordinary farm worker would not have been able to afford a horse, but could they have borrowed a farm horse? Could marriages have been arranged, or semi-arranged, by parents? Regards, Russ Hogg

Today's blog entry on the 1911 census site says that Durham plus the North and East Ridings of Yorkshire, and possibly other remaining counties (English I presume), could be uploaded by the end of this week or early next. Ian
