Hello, My Name is Lee Henderson I Live in Sunderland in Tyne & Wear and Iam researching any Information on my Ancestor as Follows: James GOUCH b 1818 Hull, Yorkshire I am aware he moved to Gateshead and Married Elizabeth Leary in 1838. Anyone who is researching the Gouch family I would be most gratefull if you could contact me at: [email protected] Kind Regards Lee Kind Regards Lee

Philip Many thanks for taking the time to help me. I totally agree about the need to verify the information. It's very interesting to see the original census documents themselves. I think a trip to Northallerton Records Office is now called for. I live in Staffordshire and it's about 160 miles from here so I guess it will probably in the Spring. Thanks once again.

Hi Doug Actually, I said the IGI entry was likely to be his. Although quite possibly correct, you can't accept that John's mother was Hannah simply because John's age and birthplace match an IGI entry of baptism. You need to do further research, for example: parish register; bastardy order, apprenticeship indenture. In 1851, there is a William Mason in the preceding household to John & Ann Mason in Ruswarp. William's wife Sarah is in Fylingdales with two children; William & Ann, in the household of her parents. Am sending you the census images. Good luck with your research.

Excellent, many thanks Barbara. Crayke, Yorkshire. Yes that was part of his family. Interesting to see a dob and birth place for Ann. Also his grandson John LOWDER (I have him as LOWTHER) To also find his mother's name (Hannah) is a real bonus. His son William, my g-grandfather, had married Sarah Newton of Fylingdales at St Mary's Whitby in 1847. Can you tell me if he is listed in Whitby in 1851? Many thanks once again.

Mary I spotted Crayke on an old map of County Durham. It was shown as an inset but I couldn't identify where it was. I've located it now, as you say, in Yorkshire but belonging to Durham. It is only 20 miles or so from Pickering where his children were eventually born. Many thanks for your contribution.

Hi Doug, The EYFHS translation of 1861 census has it as CRICK. However it does look like CREAK. If there is no trace of either then I would certainly go for CROOK. I looked in the 1851 census for Yorks and there is no mention of John Mason (52).

Thanks to Wren for my Longbone inquiry. Another piece of the puzzle! Best wishes Mary Lou

Joseph LONGBONE was born c1835 in Cottingham and married Mary Ann HUDSON in 1856. She remarried David SKOW in 1863 in Hull. I would like to find this couple in the '61 census to establish when he died and if there were any children. I cannot find his death in freebmd. Mary Ann was born 1836 in Hull. She may have already been widowed by '61. Thanks for any help! Mary Lou on a soggy day on vancouver island, canada

I haven't seen the transcript but have read the suggestions with interest. I have one of my own. Don't laugh! Could it be "Crayke"? (Parish Registers in the Borthwick). The apparent spelling would fit with some pronounciations of Crayke. And whilst Crayke is in Yorkshire it was not within the jurisdiction of York but was a liberty under the Bishop of Durham. Would be interested to hear where you eventually find him. Mary >

Graham I wondered about Crook, that would have had a larger population than most of the other likely matches, so has a higher probability. You also answered my un-asked question about the accent. That "Folk Talk" is a great resourse. It's almost an exact match "Crook, a. C. (pr. creeak, sometimes crewk)." Thanks Graham. Ever onward.

Hi Doug, Are you sure it's not CROOK? That's a town in Co. Durham, and it might have been given in a local dialect. Which, in East Yorkshire would be CREEAK, as in BEEATS for boots!

Thanks for that Judith, yes it does look like CREAK but I can't find any reference to such a place even with an open search on Google. I wonder if he is listed on another census?

Hi Doug It would seem to be CREAK, Durham. Never heard of it but it could be that it was a small area which no longer exists. Some of my ancestors were born in Tottenham, Durham and this place was just 2 very long terraces of houses. Tottenham no longer exists. Perhaps someone else may know more.
