I'm trying to research my wife's family and have a relative who is born in Percy Main (I assume this is a coal mine). Can someone tell me where this was please as I suspect in other census the town/village/area was used.
Thanks
Harry

I hope you don't mind me butting in but I was going to ask the same question as Harry! I wasn't sure where to look as I don't know this area at all!
I have a Margaret Scorer who was born at Percy Main abt 1833 and I have been trying to find her siblings. Her father was John Scorer who was a coal miner in 1854. I wondered if Scorer was a comon name in that area?
Any help gratefully received!

Hi,
Here is the 1851 census for the only Margaret SCORER I could find in Percy Main (bearing in mind that your Margaret may have married by then).
1851 HO107/2409/247:
Charles SCORER, Head, Widower, 53, b. Longbenton
Ann PATRICK, Daur, Married, 25, b. Percy Main
Charles PATRICK, son, 1, b. Percy Main
Margaret SCORER, daur, unmarried, 17, b. Percy Main
Charlotte SCORER, daur, unmarried, 14, b. Percy Main
Charles SCORER, son, 11, b. Percy Main.
Not sure if this helps?
Regards,
Trini.

Trini,
Thanks for the reply - sorry for the slow response, I've been away on business all week.
To a certain extent, I have solved part of the problem, as the initial reply narrowed my search, however, this is the family.
William ROBINSON, b ca 1840 (unreadable) Durham, married Ann LITTLE b ca 1844 Percy Main Northumberland. I believe they married 1865 - 1868 and had a son Richard Little ROBINSON b 1868 Percy Main. Ann's mother was Jane b 1804 Percy Main.
I know that William had been married previously and had a son John W ROBINSON who is listed a b ca 1855 Coxhoe Durham.
I have 1871,81,91 census covering Richard and John and also 1861, 71 covering Ann's mother, although by 1861 she was a widow.
I would like to try and find the marriage for William & Ann and if possible any earlier census information on any of the family. Also if someone with local knowledge can decifer from the 1871 census where William was born - that would be great.
Any help gratefully received.
Regards
Harry

Hi Trini
Thanks very much for that. It does help but it means that its not my Margaret 
Her dad was John (on her marriage cert) and she married after the census in 1854.
Will have to look in local villages but thanks very much for your help

Hello Harry,
I couldn't see William Robinson on the 1851 census for Percy Main, but if you could give me the ref for the 1871 census, I will take a look at the birth place then perhaps I could find him elsewhere on the 1841 or 1851 census.
I did find the following:
HO107/2409/295/2 (Brunswick Place, Chirton, North Shields, 1851)
Richard LITTLE, Hd, Married, 50, Trimmer, b. Tynemouth
Jane LITTLE, Wi, Married, 47, b. Tynemouth
Jane LITTLE, da, Unmarried, 11, b. Tynemouth
Mary LITTLE, da, 10, b. Tynemouth
Ann LITTLE, da, 5, b. Tynemouth
James MASON, Lodger, Married, 29, Engineer, b. Tynemouth
Margery MASON, Lodger, Married, 23, b. Tynemouth.
I don't know if these are yours, but thought I'd let you know.
Regards,
Joyce.

Hi Trini,
Thanks for the information. The reference on the 1871 census (for William ROBINSON) is:
RG10/5115/43 page 23 (the family continues onto page 24)
The information you posted for the LITTLE family ties in with the information I already have, so this is the right family.
Regards
Harry
