As she was so young, I wonder if the heart disease was a result of bouts of childhood rheumatic fever or possibly a congenital condition?

Lancashire / Re: Robert OLIVER date and place of birth query, Liverpool 1879?

Some other ideas..

Could sister Norah actually be a sister in law. What do you know about Mr Rodger's parents?

A long shot...There is also a Robert Oliver who has the alias James McDonald mentioned in the newspaper in 1903.... What became of him?

Robert Oliver's military papers mentioned an anchor tattoo. Was he ever in the merchant navy?

The ancestry entries come from Familysearch films. Using the film number 576998
given for the marriage it looks like this is a record from the British factory at St Petersburg

https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/532557?availability=Family%20History%20Library

Notes from above page

Microfilm of manuscripts in the Guildhall Library, London.

First volume, 1706-1815 includes index.

Factory was the term used for a trading station or an establishment for traders carrying on business in a foreign country. The British Factory in Russia was located in Moscow from 1706 to 1823, at which time it was moved to St. Petersburg.

Guildhall Library nos.: Ms. 11192 B; 11194/1-45 (or Vol. 1-4)

Or may be able to view at a Family history centre if a trip to London is not possible.

Family History Beginners Board / Re: John Hunter born about 1806

Looks like George and Mary married in Tynemouth 1 jan1796.

The quickest way to find siblings is to search on Familysearch.org as the Tynemouth baptisms are indexed, and you can input the parents names using the "more options" on the search. Then look for the children   in the BT once you have the exact baptism dates, as this will usually give more information, especially between 1798-1812 known as the Barrington years after the Bishop who stated what information he wanted written in the registers.

Who witnessed John and Ann's wedding? Any of his parents or siblings?

Is he the John who is a painter & glazier in 1851 living in Tynemouth ?

There is a baptism of a John Hunter b. 1805  on the same day as his sister Eleanor on 16 may 1806 at Tynemouth, see this copy of the Bishop's Transcript on familysearch. If you do not have a " log in" it is free to set one up.

Father George is also a painter, which is what caught my eye. Mother is Mary Atkinson, both natives of the parish.

Do these names occur amongst the children of John & Ann?

You will need to eliminate these from your enquiries :-

There is another John Hunter of N Shields listed on Durham records online, b 1807 and Christened 1810, son of James.

Also John son of John Hunter a miner of Shiremoor,& Elizabeth Porteus  chr. 28 sept 1806 Tynemouth see below BT page:

Last entry on same page is John chr 15 Oct 1806, father is James Hunter a master mariner, mother Elizabeth Scott, see here:
