My great grandmother was Isabella HULL b. St. Helens Auckland l853. Her elder sister was Mary Ann HULL, b. St. Helens Auck. l846. Mary Ann married Edward SURTEES, Clerk, in l872 at St. Helens. Edward was born in Darlington in l849 son of William SURTEES, Clerk. By l88l the family were living at 26 Charles St., Hedworth Monkton, Jarrow, Durham, where Edward was a police constable. It would appear the family moved to Jarrow around l878. Children: John Edwin, b. l873-4 St. Helens Auck. Mary, b. l875, West Auckland Annie Isabella b. l877 St. Helens Auck. Jennie, b. l879, Jarrow William, b. l883 Jarrow Helen, b. l885 Jarrow Frederick, b. l888 Jarrow By l90l Edward was widowed. He was now a driller at the shipyard, living with his younger children at l30 Ellison Street, Jarrow. Intriguingly I have found the death of John Edwin SURTEES (b. l874) on the IGI. Date of death given as l9 Feb. l9l8. I checked this out in the Birth Register and his death, is indeed, to be found in the March Qtr of l9l8 aged 44. On the IGI it says that the "record was submitted after l99l by a member of the LDS Church. No additional information is available". I suppose this also means that someone else has been researching him? Would be delighted to hear from anyone else with links to this family. Regards Diane Johansen
