Hello, I am wondering whether your George MAW has any connection with my GG Grandfather, John MAW. He was born 1810 in Whitburn and his parents were John MAW and Elizabeth ALDERSON. If you think there is a connection, I have some information about the parents which I could send you. I haven't looked at this line for a while, but I do seem to have traced them through the census records previously.

I have been unable to find any references to his birth/Christening or parentage. Various census's shows his birthplace as Whitburn, Durham and working on the ages shown on the census's I'm estimating his year of birth at around 1814. He had a son, Thomas in 1842 in Stockton with an Ellen Waring. He and Ellen then had a daughter Jane in 1847 while residing in Derby. Ellen died shortly after the birth of Jane in 1847. The 1851 cenus shows he was in Lincolnshire in lodgings with son Thomas. Jane was in separate lodgings, also in Lincs. 1861 aged 47 born in Whitburn Durham Living in Brighton with Wife Mary 47, Son Thomas 18, Daughter Jane 14 1871 aged 56 born in Whitburn Durham living in Brighton with wife Mary 56 1881 aged 66 born in Sunderland. Living in Brighton workhouse. Wife Mary also there. He died in 1882 in Brighton Any help on George's parentage would be greatly appreciated. ==== DUR-NBL Mailing List ==== To Post a message to this list send it to, [email protected] ==== 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 [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
