If you can get this link to work (I have to disable my firewall) you could try doing your searches. http://nd.durham.gov.uk/gro/newgro.nsf/search?open&C0668...$

It must be my firewall, but I have to switch it off before I can get the search to work. Otherwise I just get "form processed"

Good luck.

Hi If you're gathering history of Hetton, I've been tracing a friends gt.grandfather, as she doesn't own a computer. He was a very prominant figure in Hetton, during the early 1900s.
Would you be interested in the info I have.

I am Paul Morris Hilton of New Brunswick, CANADA and I have connections to Durham Co., England via Hylton Castle and Washington Old House, which are next door to each other. If you contact the SUNDERLAND LIBRARY SYSTEM, they will probably help you out or give you a possible connection to the folks you are looking for. I will look in my files and see if I have any data on these fol;ks for you. i would also like to know of the Hilton Gray and from whom he may have received his given name and if he might be possibly connected to me. I will get back to you if I can locate any data. Thanks very much for the chance to do some further research. Sincerely Yours, Paul

Burial of Crosby GRAY possibly Jarrow Co. Durham

IanShuttleworth58 — 2009-11-05 18:11:48Z

Hi,
I am trying to find details of my GGGG Grandfather. He was named Crosby Gray and was born in Botany Bay,Australia abt 1807.
Last records I have is 1881 census when he was living in Jarrow, Co Durham.
I assume he died and was buried in Jarrow area.
Hope you can help.
Cheers Ian

Re: Burial of Crosby Gray possibly Jarrow Co. Durham

dianemarshall203 — 2009-11-05 14:38:23Z

Hello Ian
I am researching my own family tree, my grandfather was hilton gray- the son of george gray. George Gray was born in 1838, the son of Crosby Gray and Jane Oxberry. I am not sure that the Crosby Gray you are researching is the same person, although they all lived in Jarrow or Chatham
in Kent. I wuld be interested to know how you researched the Australian link.

Maureen,

Some of my lot still live on Mortimer Rd. And I know that one of them was a "confectioner".

They seemed to all be christened, married and buried in St Michaels Church in South Shields. (or St Stephens)

The Smiths come into my line back in the mid 1800s, if I come across your Annie, I'll drop you a note.

I'm also in your boat, I live in Wellington, New Zealand.

Good luck,

I have one of those. Have their marriage, and then daughter born in workhouse and later father is listed as single later at his brother's house in a census and the wife and daughter visiting at a friends. Never found them again. Did find his death some year's later. And the daughter getting married. Nothing on the wife.

The 1911 census has a James W. Duggan age 4 with widowed mother Jane Ann Duggan, age 38, brother Alexander age 20 and a sister Edith who is 10, all born Jarrow.

You don't give us much information to work with.

Hello Patricia,

I have no record of a Thomas Murphy marriage, but looking on the Free BMD website, there is a marriage of a Thomas Murphy in the quarter-ending Sept.1861 in the Gateshead area and on the same list there is an Elizabeth Davison. This could be a possibility.

I know that this post was made a long time ago, but thought I'd better reply anyway.

My friend's great grandparents were Thomas Burns (c 1875) and Agnes Dalgarno (c 1876). They were married in the South Shields district in 1896. My friend's grandmother was one of their daughters - Jessie Burns.

Hi Janis,
Sorry to take so long to get back to you. Thank you for the info on Jane.
I have the marriage certificate for Mary Ann and John Thomas (they are my gg grandparents).
I'm just very curious to find out what happened to Sarah, her husband John is living with his brother in the 1891 census and he is classified as single. I can't find her under her married or maiden name - it's a mystery.

Hi Kevan, Just looking at my tree and realised I had not replied to your last message on Ancestry. I am sure there is a connection somewhere, especially with the confectioner link. I remember going on holiday and spending time behind the counter in the shop.

Hope you are still on the same email.

birth of Sarah E. A. BAINS in South Shields

turnerronaldn — 2009-10-28 13:07:13Z

I am trying to find birth of Sarah E. A. Bains in South Shields. The 1861 census has her at age 12 yrs. Father is Joseph Bains and Mother is Sarah Stafford. Can anyone help me with this, I am not fiding her on Ancestry or FreeBMD.
Thanks

Re: Sarah E. A. Bains

BryanHoggarth — 2009-10-28 13:09:02Z

Ron, your problem may be the same as one which had me flumuxed for a few years.

There is a 50% probable marriage in Q3 1852 Tynemouth 10b 192 between Joseph Tunnicliffe BAINS and Sarah STAFFORD.
So try looking for the baptism of a Sarah E. A. STAFFORD - the illegitmate child of Sarah STAFFORD who later married Joseph BAINS and therafter was know by the surname of her stepfather.

You might also find Sarah STAFFORD and her mother Sarah STAFFORD in the 1851 census.

Re: Thomas BURDON & Alice MADDEN Married 1920, Durham

crusoe123 — 2009-10-25 22:15:43Z

The Durham Archive centre will probably have copies of old newspapers, but you would have to attend to get a copy. It is unlikely that the Durham Advertiser (which still functions) will have a copy of a newspaper from so long ago.

Durham Archives can be contacted as follows:-

Durham County Record Office
Durham County Record Office
Durham County Council
County Hall
Durham
County Durham
DH1 5UL email: record.office@durham.gov.uk
Tel:0191 383 3253
Fax:0191 383 4500

They will be able to tell you if they hold copes of the newspaper, and what their opening hours are. You need t book an appointment to go through the archives.
