Hope everyone had a great Christmas! I have found my ggg-grandmother was Susan JAMES, born 1806 in Alnwick Northumberland, daughter of George JAMES and Susannah MAULE. George's parents were John and Sarah WARD JAMES of St. Helen Auckland Co. Durham. George was born c. 1760 and had eight or nine siblings. The family disappears from the area after 1800. Does anyone have connections to either the JAMES or WARD families from this area? Mark Bell Nashville Tennessee USA

> I heard someone mention that there is a birth, marriage and death CD for England and Wales. Is it for civil registration starting in 1837 or is it church records from earlier than that? Is it available through most Family History Library centers? < Hello Stephanie, It is possible that someone was referring to the British Vital Records Index put out by the LDS. If so, then yes, it will be available through LDS Family History Centres - they will have it at the Centre, you won't have to order it in. While useful and very moderately priced, the CD set has a small fraction of the available records - it is by no means complete, nor does it purport to be. The CD set comes with a list of the number of records per county. There are 33,766 births/christenings for Co. Durham & 2,919 marriages. There are 316,301 births/christenings for Northumberland but only 917 marriages. The CD set consists mainly of parish and other church records (it includes some non-conformist records) of baptisms and marriages, from memory dating from the seventeenth century on to the late nineteenth century. There may be some earlier and later records for some areas - I would have to check. There are also some civil registration records for Ireland, again incomplete. Hope this helps. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Ingrid, NZ

Hi all, I heard someone mention that there is a birth, marriage and death CD for England and Wales. Is it for civil registration starting in 1837 or is it church records from earlier than that?

Hi All Ive finally tracked down my George Lowthers death. It seems he died Roddymoor Colliery Crook Co Durham 16th March 1862 aged 33. He was killed in the pit by a chain- instantaneous death -and William Ditchburn was charged with manslaughter. I would love further info- especially as Ditchburn was Georges mams maiden name. Can anyone tell me how I would get info eg inquest, newspapers. The coroner covered Darlington and Durham and the inqeat took place on 16th March 1862- the same day he died. The death isnt on Durham mining museum or Ian Winstanleys site so no info there- Ill be forwarding the cert to them after the hols. Thanks and Merry Christmas. Carol
