    1. 1871 Census Darlington
    2. Mary Hart
    3. Dear Listers Would some kind person with access to the 1871 census for Darlington look up William KING born c1870. His father is William George or George William KING and his mother Ann. In the 1881 census young William's birthplace is Darlington, Ann's birthplace is Newport Wales and George's is Warminster, Wilts. In the 1891 census Ann's birthplace is still Newport but William's (who is now William G) is Warmenaster Wales! Hoping someone can help. Kind regards Mary Hart Australia mhart@iinet.net.au

    1. 1891 Look-up Durham
    2. brian ROBINSON
    3. Hello, I would be gratefull if someone could look-up "Joseph Taylor" and "Eleanor Ann Padget" on the 1891 census please My friend has obtained the birth certificate for her grandfather "Charles Taylor" born April 29th 1901 The place of birth was given as "Etterick Buildings" North Hylton, Monkwearmouth, Durham. We have searched the 1901 census twice at our local Archives, but there is no record of this address. On the 1871 census it is "Etterick Hall Buildings", it's in the Castletown area of Sunderland, Durham. "Charles Taylor" was baptized in the Monkwearmouth Parish on May 29th 1901, his father was "Joseph Taylor" and mother "Eleanor Ann" (formally "Padgett") "Joseph" and "Eleanor Ann" had quite a few children before "Charles", some of the names were Charlott, Elizabeth, and Ethel ! Trying to find the birth place of "Joseph" and "Eleanor Ann" ! Thankyou Carole Robinson

    1. Re: [ENG-DUR] Northumbrian Brigade
    2. Peter Fellowes
    3. Hello Irene, Most likely your ancestor belonged to a sub branch of the Royal Artillery known as Royal Field Artillery (RFA). From what information you give it is possible that the "3rd Northumbrian Brigade" that you refer to may be CCLII ( III Northumbrian ) Brigade RFA. They with other certain Royal Artillery units formed Divisional Artillery for 50th (Northumbrian) Division which was a Territorial Force Division first formed in 1908, it moved to France on 16th April 1915 and served on the Western Front for the whole duration of WW1. Some units of the Divisional Artillery had slightly mixed fortunes and by 20th January 1917 III Northumbrian Brigade RFA had been broken up. Do you (or your husband or his family) have any other service medals belonging to George Allen?, if so look around the outer rim (or on the back in the case of a Star) and you will see his service number and unit details this will help you identify which George Allen to search for on the medal rolls. You say he had a wooden leg, (when he played in the band in 1939) was this caused during his service in WW1, if so he will have been awarded a Silver Wound Badge during his discharge. Each SWB had a serial number and you can also track your man or find his SWB serial number. He may (or of course may not) also have been awarded a disability pension. If you have enough information it may be just possible to also find a citation for his MM, HOWEVER don't get your hopes up, sad though it may be MMs were issued by the handful, this is not to dismiss the value or bravery of the men who received a MM but during WW1 it is a fact of life that MMs came up with the rations sometimes. Hope this may have been some help Best Regards Peter Fellowes ----- Original Message ----- From: <irene.marlborough@syngenta.com> To: <ENG-DURHAM-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 3:42 PM Subject: [ENG-DUR] Northumbrian Brigade > My husband's great grandfather George ALLEN won the Military Medal for > bravery in World War I. > > I would like to get the medal record from Documents Online but there are a > lot of George ALLENs on the list.
