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 Ive recently received evidence that my Jasper Smith was baptised at Grindon near Stockton 1765 thanks to that wonderful Barrington period when a child of his was baptised in Tanfield:) I can see from IGI his mam was Jane and that around that time there seemed to be a family of Smiths that can pretty much be connected. There are also however Smiths arriving from nearby Sedgefield circa 1768. If I were to see the parish records would there be anything in addition to IGI details to help me link families together or is it pretty much just down to taking a reasoned guess for want of a better description. I know that by early 1800s my Jasper was a pitman and that some Smiths still in Grindon at that time were Yeomen/butchers etc curtesy of wills on national archives(although these appear to be Sedgefield Smiths), other than that are dates and dads names all I will get? By the way if any Grindon, Thorpe Thewles or Sedgefield Smiths are out there, Id love to hear from you. Carol

Thanks for the very quick response Helen. Its obvious now you've told me!! The capital P is very different in the two words though isn't it. Clearly capitals at the front were given that special flourish!

HI Slyvia I have looked at the image of John Layburn on the 1851 census ref. HO107 Piece 1472 folio203 page40 and the place of birth of John looks to me as though it could be Sherburn, as in Sherburn Hospital. If you go to the genuki site at www.genuki.org.uk you can make your way to the pages for Co. Durham and then under the heading Towns and Parishes you will find listed under the letter S. Sherburn Hospital and a little information about the place as well as links to further information. If you don't already use this site I would suggest bookmarking it as it is very useful for finding your way around the UK with genealogy in mind. The whole site has been set up for Genealogists and Family History, the name Genuki stands for GENealogical UK Information. Regards Jenny DeAngelis.

Hello Lesley, I have a photo by the same photographer and studio which I can date fairly closely to 1895-1898. I suspect it was the earlier date when he enlisted at age 18, but certainly before 1899 when he went off to the Boer War. I hope this helps.

Hi Isabel, Any idea what regiment? or have any pictures of him in his uniform? There are some amazing military eyes out there, who can narrow uniforms down to a year or so, and this could help you find any military info, by targetting your approach, Re: marriage where he returned to, last address etc Jack_glad_to_be_contributing_following_all_the_help_i_have_had --- isabel adams <isabel.adams@ntlworld.com> wrote: > hi > I am looking for Henry Bleasdale born 1881 Seaham > I have him up to 1901, and I am told he went to > Gallipoli c1917 and survived > , but I can find no marriage or death for him.

If this was your Edward then he was born about 1896. It could be worth getting his death certificate. Also look in newspapers as there may be some mention of his family. Did he marry - certificate would give his father's name? There are a couple of Edward LEWIS in 1901 but it is hard to narrow it down further.
