Hi again - with an apology, sorry I re read the posts about the birth index and realise you were saying perhaps the original transcriber made the error. Sorry for that.

So this doesnt seem to be the birth. > > The family I have been looking at are Henry and Sarah Southry (as you say, various spellings) liviing in Bishopwearmouth.

This made me search for a marriage of Henry to Sarah Ann Wilson - and I found one to Henry Sotrine which is pretty close to the name Doris gives as her Great Grandmother's father. This marriage is in 1848 though - and they do not have a Mary with them in any of the census I've found. Of course she could be elswhere and if she is their daughter then perhaps she was born later than 1845 - or was illegitamate and perhaps registered as Wilson - or perhaps she could have a different mother altogether and the mother never married Henry Sotrin/e? > > Of course I could have the wrong family altogether - but he is a boatbuilder born in France and the marriage in 1848 does give the names Sotrine and Wilson. > > Hope I havent confused anyone. > > Heather > > > > > From: john.harker@ntlworld.com > > To: DUR-NBL@rootsweb.com > > Date: Sat, 19 Feb 2011 15:43:53 +0000 > > Subject: [DUR-NBL] birth > > > > Hello > > have looked for years for my great grand mother`s birth ,to no avail. > > Wonder if any one can help ,or point me in the right direction ,any help greatly appreciated > > Her name was Mary Ellen Southry ,but many spellings on this name > > Father to Mary Ellen was a French man ,one Henry Sontrin a boat builder > > Acoording to census she was born in Blyth Northumberland, date of birth about 1845 > > Many thanks for any information > > Doris, membership number 6933 > > ==== DUR-NBL Mailing List ==== > > To Post a message to this list send it to, > > DUR-NBL-L@rootsweb.com > > > > ==== DUR-NBL Mailing List ==== > > List Web Page > > http://www.communigate.co.uk/ne/durhamgenealogy/index.phtml > > > > ------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to DUR-NBL-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > ==== DUR-NBL Mailing List ==== > To Post a message to this list send it to, > DUR-NBL-L@rootsweb.com > > ==== DUR-NBL Mailing List ==== > List Web Page > http://www.communigate.co.uk/ne/durhamgenealogy/index.phtml > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to DUR-NBL-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
