The various census return images (on ancestry) all give place of birth as Northumberland but then
Holy Miers 1871
Hexham 1881
Holy Myers 1891
Holy Myers 1901
I put 2 & 2 together - did I get 5?

A couple of you have used Folio references. Can I use these to search on ancestry and if so how?
Thanks again

Could that place on the 1861 possibly say Mickley?

If and only if this is the Jane, there is a Jane Kirton on family search born 1832 to John and Sarah yet I can see no ther siblings, Jane was christened at St Andrews Brunswick Pl Formerly Orphan Hse-Wesl Mnew, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland, England. Does that mean anything to you at all?

Hi evie
Good find 
Brunswick Place is near Monument/Eldon Square in central Newcastle. It's a long way from Hexham but it's possible I suppose. Maybe they fell on hard times in the 1830s  and the first place she remembers is this Myres place

PS - I looked at her sister yesterday and she was down as born Wall, so Hexham would be the right area

On the 1891 RG12/4103 F 138 P 33 and the 1901 RG13/4682 F 49 P 26 it is very clearly Holy Myers.
Still can't find it though.

Michael wishes he had gone to the pub, instead of covering my floor in old maps ( and new ones) and head-bangers, getting nowhere for past few hours....and nothing to offer.
I think Jane was born between Thomas (c1829) and Elizabeth ( c1833),, but their birthplaces are just as tough !

Oops - might have been a bit hasty. It could be Twaddle, comparing the T at the beginning of Thomas on the same page. I stand by the rest tho' - until proved wrong!

I've been up since 5. 30 am this morning and I feel I'd quite like a drink too 
Not sure that I can find any of them in 1851. There's a family in Newfield, Durham with similar names but ages are all out except for Hannah. Places of birth look like West Yekim, Hexham.
The John Kirton, aged 20 on the 1841, looks as if he might have stayed in the area and is down as b. Ovin(g)ton.
Eyes have given up
