Hi Jack: Sorry I cannot offer any information on your JACKSON/MAIN marriage, but am interested in any information you may have on the Sarah WALLACE you mentioned. My ggg Grandfather Thomas SIMPSON, born about 1785 Holy Island, married Eleanor WALLACE on July 29, 1810 on Holy Island, Northumberland. She was born about 1789 Holy Island. I don't know anymore more about either ancestor, and would be interested if you or any other lister has further information to share. Thanks, Marina Canada

I would like to thank Heather for doing the recent research work for me on the Davison's of Houghton Le Spring. I have heaps of leads and am about to request birth certificates. thank you the many contributors for all the assistance so willing given. Once I have some certificates I am sure I will be back for guidance as I am a complete novice when it comes to this stuff Thanks Alan D

Could someone with access to the 1851 census please look up William FAIRLESS born 1848, his parents are Joseph (born 1825) and Ann (born 1826) they were all born in Stanhope, Co. Durham. I have found them on the 1861 census living in Stanhope. Please note (for those going to check) there are two other William Fairless's born in Stanhope around the same time (both in my tree) one born in 1847 with parents William and Hannah, and one born in 1849 with parents Joseph and Alice, both of whom I have been able to find. Thanks in advance, Kevin Fairless

I am looking for the baptism and/or parents of George Snowball born c1836 Penshaw, Durham He marries Mary Ann Aittis in 1861 and tracing him after this is no problem Many thanks Christel Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

Hello Heather Look at the genuki pages for Stamfordham, the church records. There at the bottom you will see the parishes adjacent to Stamfordham. Newburn parish is adjacent to Stamfordham parish. Have you looked at the two Isabella Anderson's who appear on the IGI around 1792 and compared them against the Bishops Transcripts? My own Andersons were in Newburn parish for decades but there is no likely Isabella in my database.

STAMFORDHAM Bishops Transcripts give the following; Marriage 1 Feb.1813 Isabella ANDERSON of this parish,to William FORSTER of this parish(born StJohn Lee),by banns. Heather: From her age at death it would appear that Isabella Anderson was born c1791/92, probably, though not necessarily, in Stamfordham parish. However, my 1992 microfiche edition of the IGI does not mention her and, indeed, seems not to cover Stamfordham at all. My microfiche copy of the H M Wood transcript of Stamfordham parish registers to 1812 (not itself in Wood's handwriting but "out of that stable") does not show any Isabel(l)(a), Isobel(l)(a) or Isable/Isoble Anderson as having been baptised there between 1788 and 1797. This is disappointing, but perhaps we should think of why it is so. 1 Perhaps she was born elsewhere and her family only moved to Stamfordham when she was young. That way she would still have been "of this parish" when she married at Stamfordham in 1813. There are three ways around that one: 1a Search the IGI/Family Search site to locate where she might have been baptised. Problem - that will probably throw up very many possibilities. 1b Search Stamfordham baptisms during the "Barrington" period (1798-1812) and hope that her parents were still having children baptised at that time. If so, and it IS a long shot, you ought to be given the names of the parishes of which each was a native: they would both be clues. 1c Search Stamfordham baptisms for a wider period, say 1780-1800, seeking Isabella's siblings, and then hope that some of them were born early enough to have had their own children 1798-1812. In that case you would get the birthplaces of those siblings, which could well also have been Isabella's birthplace. 2 Isabella may have been baptised in a non-C of E church, in particular in one of the local Presbyterian ones, of which one was in Stamfordham itself, but don't forget the local RC church either - Cheeseburn Grange: its registers have been printed in one of the Catholic Record Society's annual publications. 3 Perhaps we have a clue in the, rather unusual statement that Isabella's husband had been born in St John Lee parish. Such mentions of the birthplace, as opposed to the place of residence, of the bridegroom are not normally given, but since it was in this case, perhaps Isabella was also "from" St John Lee. It could well be worthwhile checking it out. 4 A rather desperate suggestion this, but if any siblings were found, whether older or younger, it might be worthwhile trying to trace them in the 1851 census to find their birthplaces - if they were still alive then. 5 An even more desperate idea: Stamfordham churchyard is large and full of old stones, which have been recorded at least to 1851. I wonder whether any refer to Isabella's Anderson family. There are lists in the NDFHS Library at Bolbec Hall, Newcastle, in Newcastle Central Library and in Northumberland County Record Office at Woodhorn. Sorry I can't be more helpful, Geoff Nicholson

Pauline No, there was no requirement for the enumerator to explain anything. It was very common, particularly in coastal areas, for husbands to be missing on census night. They may be mariners or soldiers who were away for months or years, fishermen or commercial travellers who were away for day or two - or they may be working away because they couldn't get a job locally. I've come across dozens, if not hundreds, of married women heads ofhousehold. In some cases, the husband's occupation is mentioned - eg "Soldier's Wife" - but in many cases there's nothing at all.

Hello Geoff On the 1861 Census, my gt gt grandmother was listed as "Head" with two young children. The enumerator had very kindly written beside her name--"Supported by her husband who is employed on the Rail-India" ! I wondered if the enumerator had to give an explanation if a woman was the "Head" and with no husband mentioned. Regrettably my gt gt grandfather did not appear on any census, as in 1871, the enumerator wrote "absent husband" and by 1881 gt gt grandmother was described as a Widow, so he remains a mystery.
