Daniel Watson Richardson and Eleanor Reed of Longbenton

[Christianmpoulsen]

I need some help please. I need to identify who the parents of Eleanor Reed born between 1834 and 1837 in Meldon/Collerton
What I know for certain is she married Daniel Watson Richardson on 28 Nov 1859 in St Andrews, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne
He was born Oct 1838 in Longbenton to George Richardson and Jane Craike (any leads on these 2 would be great as well!)

Regarding Eleanor Reed, I've become confused due to the different Eleanor Reeds and the variations in birth dates / locations on census. Perhaps fresh eyes and more experience will wield better results. I'm new to this!
Thank you

Do you have the marriage certificate, that should give her father's name?

[Christianmpoulsen]

On the online transcription of England Marriages 1538-1973 the father is listed as William Reed.
This hasn't helped me progress any further.

The marriage cert would give you the father's occupation which may, or may not, help to narrow down the family in census returns. With luck witnesses may be relations and their names could help to narrow down the choices too.

An alternate to an official cert would be the parish register. If you are in the area then the registers can be viewed on microfilm at Tyne and Wear Archives  and also at Northumberland Archives at Woodhorn.

There were two St Andrews in Newcastle, one Anglican and one Roman Catholic.

I presume that you found Eleanor's birth place on the 1871 Census? I can't seem to see her on any othr Censuses.

There is a baptism in Newcastle in 1834 for an Eleanor, daughter of William, a shipwright, and Ann, at All Saints. Abode St Peter's Quay.

You ned to get the marriage certificate to confirm William Reed's occupation. the ref is

Dec 1859 Newcastle T vol 10b p 46

If you don't already have the information George Richardson married Jane Craike 28 May 1836 Newcastle All Saints.

If the marriage took place at St. Andrew's parish church then I can look at the record for you tomorrow - save the expenditure on the certificate.

I'm not sure where the records are for St. Andrew's RC church.

Christine, I believe it is the parish church of St Andrews. If you are able to look without too much trouble and it's near you, I'd really appreciate it!! What an offer, Thank You.
