Hi List, My great grandparents were married in Liverpool, and brought their family up in Liverpool. However, on the BMD the only William Thompson Kay birth is for 1853 Stockton registration. I'm happy to accept this, as I had his full name from a certificate, and I can't imagine that there would be many other boys given the same name. The date would make him about 17 or 18 years old when he got married to Margaret Green, which wasn't unheard of. So, can anyone shed any light on William, his sibblings or his parents? Perhaps from the appropriate census? Eternally greatfull for any help!, Helen

Dear Raymond, The Armstrongs, I am unsure where in Durham they came from. The Corcorans are said to have originated in Ireland but when is the question I have yet to find. My grandmother Mary Agnes Corcoran was born in Sunderland Durham in 1902. Her father was James Joseph Corcoran and her mother was Anne Stanley. Cousins have said they came from Ireland but the 1901 census of Sunderland yielded no sign of this family so I am now back to square one, with no idea of the age of my great grandfather - james to even get a starting link. cheers, Ann

Hello, I am interested in knowing the background of Archibald Ramage who married Smithson Peverell in October 1750. At that time they were in County Durham. Have not been able to know where they were born. Also interested to know about the line that they produced. Thank you, MS Ramage

My ancestors lived in or near Leeds at the end of the 18th century and up until about 1850. GGGrandfather Thomas Ferguson was Christened at St Peters parish Church in 1798 and most of his 8 children were also Christened there as follows: Matilda (1831) Mary Ann (1833) William Dawson (1836) George G. (1839) - my GGrandfather Charlotte (1841) Emma (1843) There were also 2 other siblings who were born in London but grew up in Leeds: Elizabeth Bashford (1826) John (1828) George G. came to the United Stated before 1861. I'm looking for information on his siblings and their descendants, some of whom probably stayed in Yorkshire. Any help would be appreciated. Earl Ferguson Atlanta, GA USA

Hello everyone, I am researching my Kay family. William Thompson Kay (my gggrandfather) b1853 in the regisration district of Stockton. The only thing I know about him is that he married Margaret Green in 1870 in West Derby district, and raised a family in Toxteth. Are any of you also researching William? Alternately, would someone be able to look on the 1861 census for him and his family? I would very much appreciate any help. Kind regards, Helen

#2 [D'hamYorks] Twyzell Johnson ["Rose Morrison" #3 [D'hamYorks] ______________________________ Hi I researched the surname Blench a few months since, one of the Blenchs not connected to my Blench line was a Mary Blench who married an Innes. Mary Blench's mother'd maiden name was Wheatley and some of the Blench/Wheatley families lived at a place named Twyzell. Could your Twyzell Johnson be a connection to this family? Here is some of the information I have. Thomas Wheatley BLENCH (AFN: 2XGH-W5)

Dear Rose, I know nothing of your family but I was born and brought up in Stockton on Tees. The old Play House was for many years a factory making sweets, most of that area has been demolished and redeveloped but the Play House is now back in use. I have a book of old photographs and some other books on Stockton I will see if there are any records of you family and if you wish I will try to send some of the pictures.

After not receiving any response to my posting on John Baker married 23 Nov 1851 Hartlepool Dur to Susannah Innis/Inniss I decided to look at the witness to their wedding, Twi(y)zell Johnson. Found on the free online bmd the marriage Stockton Dur 1849 March quarter of a Twyzell Johnson to Ann Inness and as Susannah was bap 1834 in Stockton I believe Twyzell & Ann are her brother-in-law & sister. Also was send this by a kind lady researching Innes/Inns.(Sadly she has not found a connection between our Inniss families) 1851 census----Stockton-on-Tees (taken on 30th March 1851) Play House yard 45 Silver Street Twizzell Johnson H M 23 painter North Newcastle Ann " W M 25 Dur, Stockton Cordelia dau 5 scholar " " William Inns bro in law U 19 Fisherman au? " " Susannah Inns sis in law U? 7 " " --------------------------------- Could the age of Susannah be a mistake and should read 17 because why would there be unmarried listed for a 7year old child. What is the age does it mean when stating full age on a marriage certificate? Would be happy to hear from other researcher interested in the same family lines. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Rose Morrison Qld Australia
