All, I sent this e-mail this morning from home but it does not appear to have arrived, so I am sending it again from work. I apologise if anyone receives it twice. Good Morning, I apologise in advance for this being so long, but I have realised from recent postings to other lists if you only give half the information, you can only expect half answers, so here goes. My GGGrandmother was born Jane Worthy on 27 Sep 1852, daughter of William Worthy and Sarah Worthy formerly Kirkbride on Victoria Street Southwick. On 15 Jun 1874 she married Robert Chapman he of 12 Paley Street aged 21 a glass cutter, she of 36 Cumberland Street Bishopwearmouth aged 22. The birth certificate of their first daughter gives Elizabeth Hannah Chapman born 9 Dec 1874 at Hawthorn Street Monkwearmouth to Robert Chapman A flint glass cutter and Jane Chapman formerly Worthy. The 1881 Piece 4990 Folio 84 Page 72 for 18 Cornwall Street Bishopwearmouth gives Robert Chapman sheet glass cutter aged 28, Jane Chapman wife aged 27, Elizabeth Chapman aged 6 plus 3 other children. The 1891 Piece 4130 Folio 91 Page 69 for 17 Alfred Street Bishopwearmouth gives Robert Chapman brilliant glass cutter {he was obviously getting good at it by now ;) } aged 38, Jane Worthy aged 36, Elizabeth Chapman aged 16 plus 9 other children. Finally her death certificate dated 5 Jun 1898 for 16 Oswald Street gives age 46 years wife of Robert Chapman Glass cutter. Now my questions, I know her age varies from document to document by up to two years, but that does not seem uncommon for the time, however the constant changes of address does seem peculiar. Can anyone tell me whether it was common at this time for people to move house on such a regular basis? Also the last document I received was their marriage certificate and that threw up one strange thing, her father on the marriage certificate is Robert Worthy a carpenter on her birth certificate it was William Worthy a ship wright, could these people be the same, maybe he was a Robert William Worthy or a William Robert Worthy or could this be a marriage of another Robert Chapman glass cutter to another Jane Worthy? If you've read this far, thank you and any help hints or advice will be gratefully received. Thanks Richard
