Title: White family in Shields
Post by: Holum on Monday 01 June 09 08:39 BST (UK)
Hi
Did find  the family in 1911 census when I did vissit Kew, London 1 of May

-----------------------------------------------------------
Background:

Father Theodor Catharinius Nielsen from Bergen Norway
Family moved and lived in North Shields as shipagent.

Gudrun Nielsen daughter Theodor Catharinius born 13 Feb 1885 in Bergen, bapt 17 Jun 1888 i Nykirken Bergen.
Gudrun married (Jack) John Thomas White. Jack born 1887 in North Shields
Northumberland England.

Gudrun was over 90 years when died.
(When her father Theodor Catharinius Nielsen dies 1919, he was a Surveyor, to sign deathcertificate D.W.Dobie son-in-law 14 Brislee Avenue.
Also Surveyor for the Norwegian Board of Trade, adress 21 Alma Place, North Shields, Newcastle.)

Hi Holum

Welcome to Rootschat!

I can't find a birth for John Lawrence in 1911, but there is a John L White registered in Tynemouth in the September quarter of 1910 - ref Tynemouth Sep 1910 10b/236 - which would be right for North Shields.

Apart from that I found Louisa H White (mother's name Neilson [sic]) in Newcastle upon Tyne in Dec 1911 10b/211

Other possible:
Stanley White Newcastle March 1913 10b/30 - mother's name Nelson
Gordon White Tynemouth March 1914 10b/655 - mother's name Nelson

I can't find a Joan at all.

The marriage for John and Gudrun took place Tynemouth Sep 1909 10b/323

Hope this helps

Ashley

Thank you.
Also got this, but IGI years can not be correct.

Not easy to search from Norway.

Welcome Holum,

I've looked at the IGI record you linked to and this has been submitted by someone researching their family.  The only true date is the birth of Gudrun, which agrees with your date.  The others are simply guesses or estimates and should never be relied upon.

Only the IGI records extracted from actual church records are likely to be correct and even these are subject to transcription errors at times.

The information provided by Deryck and Ashley is from official civil registers.  Do you need information on how to obtain birth/marriage certificates?

Also the marriage entry is incorrectly transcribed in freebmd

Transcription is:

NIELSSEN    Gudru_         Tynemouth    10b   329

it is in fact

NIELSSEN    Gudrun         Tynemouth    10b   323 on the ancestry image.

Hello
Joan Amelia, born january 1931  Forest Hall Longbenton, Tynemouth OK.
Then this is spot on....

And Gladys White is widow when John Lawrence dies in 1984.
And she is also daughter in law when John Thomas dies in 1950.
Also in Forest Hall

Can it be this?

Is not Allan a mans name?
Title: Re: White family in Shields
Post by: c-side on Sunday 21 August 11 00:03 BST (UK)
Hi Holum

Alan (various spellings) is a man's name but in this case it is the maiden surname of the woman John White married.  If you look further into the record you will see that he maried a lady called Gladys Allen who would, after marriage, become Gladys White.

http://www.marriage-locator.co.uk/cgi-bin/ML_search.cgi?year=1909&qtr=3&vol=10b&page=323&search=search

Marriage locator seems to indicate marriage took place between two Churches.  Blyth, St Cuthbert or Seghill, Holy Trinity.  Sometimes I have found that when using this site when two Churches are given marriage may (possibly) have taken place at one of them.

If you look at the marriage on Freebmd besides Gudrun's name is a little postem envelope.  The postem has some contact details for someone if you are connected to this person (Gudrun).   Click on this little envelope to open details.

This might sound like a daft idea but have you thought of putting a letter in one of our local newspapers with some of these ancestors' information and asking to meet up with your wife's family when you come.

The Newsguardian(covers NorthTyneside area and Blyth too I believe) or the Newcastle Evening Chronicle might be good ones for this ourpose.

Not so long ago I responded to someone overseas who placed a letter in the local Tyneside newspaper.

Newcastle Electoral Register 1965
2 Benton Lodge Avenue
There were three people registered at that address who were eligible to vote:
Davison, Joan
Davison William C
White Gudrun

There is a likely marriage registration
Q1 1955 Northumberland South District
William C Davison and Joan A White

This link:
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01ngy/
Indicates that a Joan Davison, whose husband was called 'Bill' (William) died 27th April 2018

and searching the Govt site for probate records gives this result

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01ngz/

Which shows that this lady's middle name was Amelia

Ermm, Joan Amelia Davison (nee White) is potentially the lady who died last year.
(looks likely as its the right name, area, age at death etc)

As for her husband and other names in the death announcements, there is a strong possibility that they may still be alive, but the forum rules (and courtesy as this is a public forum) say we are not allowed to post about living people so we won't be able to give further help with them, sorry.

Vidar, If you are trying to track down living relatives try https://www.192.com/ (https://www.192.com/). It has telephone information and electoral rolls. British addresses and telephone details are not as easily searchable as gulesider  :)

Hi Holum -
I believe you may be looking for me - I've just logged in to this site & I don't have a clue how to use it, but hopefully with my consent the site manager will pass you my email address - Joan Amelia White & William Campbell Davison were my parents - Gudrun was my grandmother. My sister lives in NZ now - she has 2 children in their twenties, the great great great great great grandchildren of Halvor Nielsen & Maren Houge. Now you know who who I am.
Regards to you & your family.
