Hi Folks, I have indeed found my John Wilson marriage to Helen BOURHILL. His father was Thomas Wilson a shoemaker. John Wilson was born in Newcastle and Chr in All Saints about 1835. Can not find John or Thomas in 1841 or 1851 census. Although the marriage certificate from Edinburgh is quite hard to hear think his mother Margaret is deceased at the time of John's marriage 1859. I have no way of knowing if John's father Thomas was born in Northumberland. Can any one suggest where I could go from here????????? Regards Sue & Keep warm

I am trying to find my Great-grand father Thomas Kavanagh and having no luck at all. I have tried to find him for a lot of years now. I don't want to bore you all but the information to date seems to point to his wife, Margaret Mc Coy, hitching up with another man around 1902. On the 1911 census it states that her and her partner, Patrick McIntyre, were married for some 20 years, which I know to be untrue as she was first married to Thomas in 1894 in Lanchester Co Durham, giving birth twice to Catherine in 1896 then to John Thomas in 1898 - he died in 1900 in Newcastle upon Tyne. If this is the case is it possible to find him and if so how would I know it was he? Thanks for any help. E.
