That’s a great help and thanks so much for doing that for me. I’ll get in touch with the archives.

Thanks. I have the GRO entry, I was just looking to confirm the church register to corroborate. This is a particularly troublesome family who changed surnames frequently!

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Lookup request - baptism at St Mary's

Hi,
I have a record of the baptism of Catherina Morrell, 7 Nov 1883 at St Mary's RC, Clayton Street Newcastle. Her parents are listed as Ric. Morrell and Catherinae Donay. However, I believe the mother's surname should be Dowey. I'm in Canada, so going to the Tyne & Wear archives is not an option! Can anyone help with the original image?

John, you did indeed crack it. I just received the birth certificate for Catherine Morrell, who you suspected was actually Catherine Daley, nee Collins, my g-grandmother, whose death triggered this thread.
The birth is in 1883. The father was Richard Morrell (cartman) - Richard Collins was also a cartman. The family lived at 39 St Nicholas' Churchyard, and when I checked the 1881 census for my Collins family, they were indeed at the same address. I think that's proof enough. Thanks again.

I'm going to have to review that whole Collins ancestry prior to Richard. But I'm still wondering why they would have registered the R+C marriage and the daughters' births as Morell yet the census returns and the 2 daughters' marriage certs, that I have, as Collins. Some interesting family dynamics if this is correct.
Many thanks to all of you for your time and effort on this - it is very much appreciated.

The Margaret / Sarah / Emily & Catherine dates tie up, although I'm not seeing any Bella or Elizabeth Mor(r)ell births.
But I wonder where the Morrell name would have come from, assuming this could be our man? It's not one I've come across for any of Richard's ancestors (Collins & Amour), so there's no earlier family connection.

« on: Saturday 17 February 18 16:29 GMT (UK) »I've been searching for births for any of the Collins girls or a marriage for Richard but no luck.
As suggested they could be under the mothers name and she and Richard never married.
There's also quite a gap between Emily and Catherine where one or more children could have been born.
Definitely not just you but at least we have some census entries for them.
I can't find the parents in later census but Catherine may have died in 1893.
Wish I could find daughter Catherine and the little boy in 1911 but I can't
I have that death certificate on order although the age looks to be out by a little. There was an alternative in 1891 but that turned out to be a different Catherine.

« on: Saturday 17 February 18 16:12 GMT (UK) »ancestry suggests it was William McFee - marriage 1903.
I noticed that 1901 and wondered if Isabella was daughter Bella but she wasn't Collins.
Richard there is down as single not widowed but if he was boarding with strangers they may not have known his marital status.
Yes, it was William McFee. 1911 has the two of them at home, married for 8 years and records no children in the marriage.
