Hi Has anyone come across the Christian name PHEALIG and can they tell me where its origins lie. I have an ancestor that was christened Phealig Hayton and although born in South Shields the family originates from the Carlisle area.

Her father is George Wilcox and mother Maria (Burge). 14 June 1867. I wondered if anyone would be so helpful to do a look up for me to find her parents in the 1871 Census and the 1861 please. They lived at Eppleton Row, Hetton le Hole. Don't know if she had any brothers/sisters. In return, I have the Gloucestershire, Bristol, Somerset and Wiltshire 1851 Census and some on Devon for 1851. Will do look ups for anyone out there. Thanks in advance Louise

hi thanks to everybody whos given me suggestions on my Robert Sayers problem - its proving very elusive! Somebody has suggested a possible Robert on the 1881 census but the household does not have a father listed - whos name is about the only thing i know about Robert - i wonder whether somebody could look for this family on the 1871 census to see if the father was a Henry. the mother is a Margaret SAYER, aged 35 (so 25 in 1871), birthplace Newcastle on Tyne, occupation Grocer retired - none of the kids would be there in 1871, the census place was Caldewgate, Cumberland Also, from Roberts marriage certificate i have the witnesses as Adam Bell and Mary Ellen Fingey - if anyone has come across these people in their family maybe it will help in some way! thanks john

Hi David thanks for that do you have the image you can send me? its proving very difficult this one! i suppose it possible, with a bit of imagination that roberts age on the marriage certificate is actually 37 and has been written incorrectly as 31 which would give the right age for your suggestion - although i feel i may be clutching at straws! john On 29 Feb 2004, at 5:00 am, ENG-DURHAM-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > > > ENG-DURHAM-D Digest Volume 04 : Issue 74 > > Today's Topics: > #1 [ENG-DUR] Coroner Inquests ["Chris Lee" > <chris.lee7@ntlworld.c] > #2 Re: [ENG-DUR] SAYERS: im stuck aga ["David Atkinson" > <D.M.Atkinson@bti] > > Administrivia: > To post messages should be sent to > ENG-DURHAM-L@rootsweb.com > > To unsubscribe from ENG-DURHAM-D, send a message to > > ENG-DURHAM-D-request@rootsweb.com > > that contains in the body of the message the command > > unsubscribe > > and no other text.

Record searching service: you name the records, I search them!

Under the Home Office Circular 250/1967, a schedule of destruction of coroners records is laid down. While they are within the definition of public records and open to the public after 75 years many will not have survived those 75 years. Once 15 years old the records can be 'weeded,' that is destroyed or sampled by the individual coroner concerned. Only certain records are designated for permanent preservation. These are the indexed registers of deaths reported, all papers dated before 1875 and cases of general public, scientific, forensic, social, local, industrial or historical interest along with papers relating to treasure trove. Additionally, a random sample of other papers may also be kept, although coroners are free to keep all their records. However, from the nineteenth century a newspaper report is more likely to be the only surviving account. These can be seen in local libraries and the Newspaper Library, Colindale Avenue, London NW9 5HE. Regards Stan Mapstone

It includes a list of inquests (ie the names of the persons and the rough date) for which papers have been deposited. However, deposited inquest papers usually give only the bare details - the name of the person, the date and the verdict. Nothing about the circumstances or about the evidence given. That sort of detail can usually be found from newspaper reports, which will probably exist in local newspapers of the times. If found, remember to check other editions of the same paper for (a) the report of the death - either the conventional "family notice" or perhaps a news story about it and the finding of the body, (b) a report of the funeral and (c) a formal obituary. You are not likely to find all three but two (or even one) out of three could make all the difference!

I am writing to condemn the egotistical, self aggrandising, unimaginative, arrogant, boorish and self satisfied creature I have come across in many years. How dare you set yourself up to lecture and publicly humiliate another person who innocently made the error of inserting a c when asking for assistance. Those of us who do not deem ourselves to be either perfect or an ex-pert (a drip under pressure) had no difficulty in understanding the question or its' meaning. If this is your way of showing how erudite you are, you have missed your target; and if this is your way of being helpful and respectful, perhaps you should dip into your Oxford English Dictionary to determine the meaning of these two words. This missive is not a 'flame' just an attempt to point out your deficiencies in public/ awareness, in a, nodoubt vain attempt that you may acknowledge your lack and learn from your mistakes. I will, of course, avoid the temptation to use THE local expert in researching my family history, I doubt if I could be as precise as you expect us lesser mortals to be.

Hi Chris, Hope you will be lucky enough to find any Coroners Inquest records, as not many survived! I've tried several times, and not found any for my family! You are more likely to find a report of it or an accident/death report, in the local newspaper! The places where you could ask for any Coroner's records for Stockton is the Teesside Archives at Middlesbrough - here is their e-mail address;- teessidearchives@middlesbrough.gov.uk Or Durham Record Office;- record.office@durham.gov.uk. If you email us, please remember to include your name and postal address in case there is a problem in replying by email.

Not sure if this is of any use - there is one entry on the 1881 Census where the Father's name is Henry, and the son's name is Robert. The reference is RG11 4882/36 Page 11. Address is Ravensworth in Yorkshire. Robert is listed as being 11 years old, but Henry's Occupation is given as Limestone Quarryman. Don't know whether this is what you are looking for or a Red Herring. Might be worth a look. Good Luck David Atkinson Sheffield (UK)

Hi! All, Can anybody tell me where the Coroners Inquest records are kept for Stockton on Tees dates 1899 and 1908. Many regards Chris
