    1. [DUR-NBL] Death of Ellen Ann/Nancy/Ann O'Rourke/Rourke Wardley Jarrow
    2. Dear All Please can you save me and my sister's sanity? We're looking for the death of our 2nd Ggrandmother last known at Reservoir Street Wardley FellingJarrow in 1901 census living with sons Michael and Patrick and daughter Elizabeth Ann. She has been called various first names - Ellen Ann, Nancy and Ann and various spellings of surnames. Rourke, Orourke, Orooke and possibly any other variation you can think of. She was born in Ireland about 1835 and married an Andrew Rourke in Wigan in 1859. They moved to Quarrington Hill, Cassop and Wheatley Hill. We've searched the BMDs for all variations we can think of from Jan 1901 to June 1911 as we can't find her in 1911 but we have found her children still living in the Wardley area. Anyone with access to Catholic parish records for that area or possible pointers as to where to go next??? I live in London but my sis lives in Durham County. Cathy
