Jan I don't think the Volume is I. I looked on Ancestry, which has a lower-contrast image. There is a vertical stroke, but there are 'header' and 'footer' strokes extending well to the right suggesting at least one other character. However that is completely blank. The registration district seems to be quite a long word, but is indecipherable. Has Ralph no other information - census, parents etc? I couldn't myself find him in 1851, or any death in 1849-1851.

Hi Ralph, Like you, I was unable to read the place where Mark was registered, but I did read that the Reference no. was I, which is the registration district for London and Middlesex.

My Great Grandfather, Robert WALTON died 10 Nov 1903, 19 Co-Operative Terrace, Windy Nook, Heworth and was buried 14 Nov 1903, St. Albans Churchyard, Heworth. Would SKS be able to check for me to see if my Great Grandmother, Margaret WALTON is buried with him and if so; I would be interested to know when and where she died and when buried; if that's not to much to ask, as I've no idea whatsoever as to when she may have died, as she was still alive in the 1901 Census as living 19 Co-operative Terrace, Windy Nook. If you can assist in any way; I would be ever so very grateful. Kindest regards; Robert KEMSLEY Australia.

Hi Jenny Not just indexes but full transcriptions, no images as you say but fully searchable unlike Scotlands People. Ancestry now have 1841 to 1871 and 1891 for Scotland.

I think you will find they are just indexes to the Scottish census on Ancestry, But you can get the references from the Ancestry index and the results of your search of them. Then use that reference to find the people more easily on the census images on the scotlandspeople site.

Carol, the names are German (or Germanic at least) but the forenames are Latinised so could be Roman Catholic.

Carol Since there are no British names there at all, I think it must be a mistake by the LDS.

Hi listers One of my real sticking people is Elizabeth Sedgewick born approx 1807 in or around Hutton Henry. Have searched Durham County Hall for her birth/baptism ( on a flying visit last week) but no luck. I think she married Henry Ramage in 1830 in Bishopwearmouth and had my 3rd G grandmother Isabella Ramage in 1831. I thought her parents were William Sedgewick and Isabella Myers but now think this is wrong. I was mixing Hutton Henry ( Durham) with Hutton Rudby( Yorkshire). If anyone has any ideas or links I would be most grateful. I also think Elizabeth may have been Catholic but not sure if that is correct and if it is where she might have been baptised? Monk Hesledon??? Cathy (London)

Goodday all Can anyone help me with descendants of David Fife b 1868 at Berwick on Tweed. I have one pos lead William Smith Fife (thats mine), but know there are others. would be grateful for leads Regards Roy Fife

Hi In our quest to find the elusive George Burdess born circa 1769 we are looking at all parishes near to allendale where he later said he came from. Using Hugh Wallis we found C000543 Stanhope The surnames are somewhat strange, were there immigrant workers in the mines back then? Did the parish write in a foreign language- im tempted to say latin but it looks more like German Can anyone think of an explanation? carol

Hi Im hoping for a breakthrough re my Elizabeth HUNTLEY who married Edward LAWS in Gateshead St Marys 27 June 1763. The marriage record states both were of "this parish" and one of the witnesses was Isaac Huntley. The name Isaac continues throughout the Laws family from this time. I cant find anything on Igi re Isaac Huntley prior to a marriage in 29 JUL 1771 All Saints, Newcastle Upon Tyne, the couple then appear to move to Gateshead to have kids. Is anyone looking at huntleys at around this time period and if so any Isaacs knocking about? I have found several Elizabeth Huntleys who could fit the bill but no Isaacs. Any suggestions? Carol ps Hi to "DixyMick" if you are reading this- it was lovely to meet you at Tyne and Wear Archives yesterday:)

Hello all, Could someone please point me in the right direction. I have obtained the death certificate for Thomas Scott a second engineer on the merchant vessel "The Mildred". The date of death column shows "Missing since 28/9/1880" and the cause of death column shows "supposed drowned" Can anyone tell me how I can find information about the ship please? TIA Patricia

Hi I wonder if this could be him- or at least the family. IGI 2. JOHN KERMICHAL - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 17 FEB 1782 United Presbyterian Cheviot Street-Nc, Wooler, Northumberland, England Carol

Dear Members, I have just joined this website. It looks like a very active one. I am looking for CARMICHAEL`S. My grandf.was William, b. in Gateshead, Heworth,Co. Durham, Dec.1861. He came to USA abt.1878. His father.Wm. was b.1813 in Wooler, NBL Co. and his father John was b.about1790 in Wooler.John married Jane JOHNSON in 1812 in Ancroft, NBL.She was from Berwick.I am looking for John`s record of birth and his parent`s names. Their names would be Wm. and Catherine if they followed the Eng. custom when they named the children, but I don`t know if they did. I would appreciate any help offered. Betty of USA

Peter, I was interested to see your contribution to this list and wonder if you have any link with Joseph E Hall born c 1880. Isabel Earnshaw was my Gt. Aunt who was born in 1889 and married Joseph E Hall in 1920 Ref 10b 204,she died and was buried in the Earnshaw Grave at Heaton & Byker Cemetery aged 58 on 7th March 1947. I have been cooperating with a distant cousin with this research and Joe Hall and one of the puzzles we have encountered is that we cannot find out what happened to her husband. We know they travelled the world and worked in Canada and went to Australia and little more is known about them. Joe died before Isabel and she returned to Monkseaton (or close to it) where my Gt. Grandmother lived with her unmarried siblings the last of the family died in the 1960's. I was 9 years of age at the time of her death and remember my Grandparents, my father and uncle struggling to travel to the funeral because of the severe winter conditions of 1947. I only know the Halls N.E.

I am researching Joseph Hall ( born 1813 Monseaton) married to Jane ? (Born 1811 Alnwick), living at 2 Dock Street Monkwearmouth in 1871 (census 1871). Son George was living with them, he was a grocer. In 1873 George married Margaret Foster Allen ( Allen Foster?). In 1874 still living at 2 Dock Street, they had a son Verner, by this stage George was a Master Grocer. Joseph and Jane also had 6 other children, Ann,Elizabeth,James,John,Joseph and Thomas, some born in Willington. Filby is another connection.Is anyone researching this family?

HI Carol, I have my family SMITH at Sedgefield and have also seen those Smiths at Stockton and found some evidience on the Durham CRO Database that there is some link between at least a couple of the Smiths from both Sedgefield and Stockton. John Smith of Stockton a Butcher mentioned his nephew Smith of Sedgefield in his will. I am wondering if some of my Smiths from Sedgefield had moved to Stockton. I have found that one Thomas Smith married a Mary Smith of Portrack Stockton and that Samuel Smith of Sedgefield, my 3x Gt. Grandfather married a Rebecca WHITFIELD of Stockton, though the two places are not very far apart and marriages between people of both places would not be unusual I still think that there must have been a family link between the Smiths of both places sometime earlier on. The trouble is finding that link. This particular Samuel Smith of mine died in 1820 and the will on the Nat. Archives site for Samuel Smith is not for this same Samuel Smith my ancestor. I have the copy of that will from the site and it has left me more confused than ever about these two Smith families. I have Samuel Smith of Sedgefield's family going back through Bishop Middleham into Durham City where an earlier Samuel Smith was born in St. Margaret's parish there. If you want to give me a few details of some of your Smiths I will see what I can find in my notes from having looked at LDS films and see if I can help at all. The parish registers usually do give more detail than what is given in the IGI, the IGI is just an index and indexes are never a full transcription, you need to look at the original source. You probably are aware that you can click on the source call no. in the IGI entry you have found and it will lead you on to find the relevant film number to order a film or two of those PRs. The Barrington period as you know is one where the PRs give much fuller details about the child and his parents and very often his grandparents. Some of these entries give a little more detail than others, it depended on the incumbent and his interpretaion of the Barrington ruling it would seem. So well worth making the effort to use the LDS films, the hire fee is very reasonable. Regards Jenny DeAngelis.
