Was Middlesborough in Durham or Yorkshire in 1901? From Diane Sowden

HI Pat, But so is M'bro! C

Diane I would assume that Middlesbrough was in Yorkshire as the dividing line between Co Durham and Yorkshire has always been the River Tees and Middlebrough is on the southbank of the Tees. Colin

Does svks know of the email address for the probate office in Hartlepool, because I am trying to trace someone who was adopted and they suggested that I emailed the Probate office of where they were born. TIA Diane Sowden

I now have a copy of the l85l Census page for my YOUNG family at Bishop Middleham Village. James BELL, my 3 x great grandfather, married Mary Ann YOUNG at Stockton Register Office in l850. Mary Ann was a daughter of John YOUNG, an excise officer - who would have been the same age as his new son-in-law, James BELL! James and Mary Ann were living in Hornby (nr. Gt. Smeaton) in l85l, with their new son Stephen age 1. HOl07 2384 fol. 7l7 page 2 John YOUNG, Head, Widr, 6l, Excise Officer (on Superannuation List), b. CBL, Hesket in the Forest Eliza YOUNG, Daur., Unm., 21, b. Leics. Earl Shilton James GRAINGE, Son in law, Mar., 27, Joiner - machine maker, b. Yorks, Kirklevington Elizabeth GRAINGE, Daur. Mar., 27, b. Leics. Earl Shilton Elizabeth GRAINGE, Granddaughter, under one month, b. Durham, Bishop Middleham Cn anyone link to any of these names? Diane Johansen

Does anyone know the email address of the main Library in Hartlepool, I need to write there about some adoption records in 1879. TIA From Diane Sowden

Hi Does anyone know where I can find someone to do some research in Northern Ireland? Mainly in the Maghera Londonderry Area Thanks Anne Thompson

Diane Try this link and then follow it through Colin http://www.communigate.co.uk/ne/hartlepoolcentrallib/index.phtml

If anyone has access to the l85l Census index for Middridge Grange, Co. Durham, could I possibly ask whether there are any BELLs mentioned? Many thanks Diane Johansen

Just to add The 1851 census index return that I have from CFHS has St. Helen, Middrige, Helmington Row, and Crook on, so can't tell where your Bells are from. Colin

Hello Diane If Middridge Grange equates with Middridge the following Bells are on there Bell Anne 63 Nbl North Shields 446 Bell Barbary 52 Yks Reeth 450 Bell Christopher 24 Yks Arkengarthdale 450 Bell Elizaabeth 09mnths Dur Darlington 450 Bell Joseph 01 Dur Brancepeth 459 Bell Mary 13 Dur Stanhope 459 Bell William 05 Dur Brancepeth 459 I am also looking for Bells in the Evenwood area, specifically Benjamin Bell born circa 1845 Hope this helps Colin Smith

Unsubscribing for a while, I'm not up to dealing with all the mailings at the moment......but I will still be glad to hear from friends, particularly if they have *cheery* stories. Regards - Patrisia Penmaenmawr, North Wales

There was no official adoption until 1929, therefore anything prior was ad hoc. There may have been something similar to fostering from the various homes for orphans but any records would be very elusive.

Can anyone suggest which port they may have landed at, when they arrived in England, and also would that be the same port they would sail from on their return to South Africa. Would they have purchased a return ticket, and returned on the same boat on its next trip ?? Also, can anyone steer me to lists of passengers, who would have sailed back and forth during that time period. Can pretty well find the date they sailed, although I don't have the name of the boat, as his new wife gave birth to twin boys on the passage to England, and their births were registered at Middlesbrough, N. Yorks, after their arrival. On the return trip they had a small boy with them who they had picked up at Middlesbrough, N.Yorks and took back to South Africa to live with them. Am trying to discover who this boy was. How long would a trip ,one way , from South Africa to England have taken in those days ?? Thankyou, Pam in Arizona. --part1_147.aae0098.2b7fb712_boundary--
