Mitcalf/Moir marriage help
« on: Friday 13 October 17 11:33 BST (UK) »
Hello

I've been unable to find a marriage between this couple who are my direct xGrandparents. Please could I have some help with this family?

James Midcalfe/Metcalfe and Ann Moir, both of Wallsend. Probably married around 1860.

Their children:
Birth registered 1859 for Hannah MOIR, no mother's maiden name (called Hannah Metcalf on the 1861 census)
1861  Ann Isabella MITCALF  mothers maiden name MOIR
1862  Thomas MITCALF  mothers maiden name MOIRS
1864  James MIDCALF  "  "  "  MOIR
1866  Alexander MITCALF    "  "  "  MOIR
1867  Mary METCALF    "  "  "  MOIR
1869  Margaret METCALF    "  "  "  MOIR
1871  William METCALF    "  "  "  MOIR

I have seen James and Ann (Metcalf) and children on the 1861 and 1871 census at Willington, but nothing more recent for the couple and the younger children.

Have I missed anything out that would be useful?

According to the 1861 census

James was born Wallsend 1832
Ann was born Newcastle 1835
Hannah was born Wallsend 1859
Ann was born Wallsend 1861
James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

Durham Records Online free index shows the burial in 1874 of a James Metcalf of Wallsend, aged 42, i.e. born c. 1832, which fits with the death David has noted.

Durham Records Online free index give this as Ann Metcalf of Wallsend.
