Hi, I've been meaning to ask if anyone can help me find a little more about one of my great grandmother's. It is her life after her second marriage that I'm interested in. Noone in the family has any knowledge of her after 1900 or so. This is what I know. Her name was Mary Ann Hirst and she was born 19.7.1856 in Newcastle upon Tyne and was the eldest child of John Hirst and Sarah Ann Slane. She married my great grandfather Thomas Gornall 7.7.1873 at St.Mary's Catholic Church in Newcastle. She had 7 children in Newcastle and later at Snow's Green near Shotley Bridge. Her husband Thomas died at Snows Green in 1889. By 1901 she had moved the family back to Newcastle and was then livivng in Grey Street. She was living next door to her sister and brother in law. They were William Walton and Sarah Hirst who had married in 1878. They named one of their children Thomas Gornall Walton in memory of my great granfather. By 1907 Sarah Walton had died and my great gramndma married William Walton her dead sister's husband. They married 19.10.1907. William walton was the son of James Walton and was living in Napier Street at the time of the marriage. Mary Ann Gornall was living at 72 Grey Street. I'd like to know something about her after this marriage. Can anyone help?? Yours John Ayton _________________________________________________________________ Get Hotmail, News, Sport and Entertainment from MSN on your mobile. http://www.msn.txt4content.com/
