Hi All, I've just rejoined this list after a long break from this branch of the family. On revisiting my information I noticed a discrepancy in some dates and have discovered my 2 x great-grandfather Andrew McCAFFREY / McCAFFERY was married twice. Andrew a coal miner was born in 1867 in Armagh, Ireland. He came England with his parents (Owen & Margaret) and siblings (Owen, Michael & John) in about 1870 and they settled in Felling, Durham. In 1881 the family had moved to Gateshead. By Andrew had married Mary TURNBULL and had a daughter Margaret Elizabeth born 1889 in Felling. By 1891 the family had moved to Seghill and later the same year Agnes was born, Ellen followed in 1893. According to the 1891 census Mary was born in Eckford, Scotland about 1871. I believe Mary died between 1893 and 1898. Andrew married Ellen McCORMICK (born c.1871, Scotland) in 1898 and they had 2 children Mary born c.1898/1899 and Owen born 1901. I've tried to find a marriage for Andrew and Mary as Mary was my 2xgreat-grandmother (their daughter Margaret being my great-grandmother). I haven't been successful yet unless a mistake in the index is the answer as I've found an Alexander McCAFFREY marrying a Mary TURNBULL in the June quarter of 1888 in the Gateshead district. I have had incorrect names in the index for another family marriage but it was the surname that was wrong. I also don't know when Mary came to Durham from Scotland so if anyone can help with this it would be much appreciated although if I find the marriage I guess having her fathers name will help. If anyone has identified the above family as being part of their tree I'd love to here from you.
