Dumfriesshire / John Hall - Dumfries
« on: Wednesday 03 August 05 12:14 BST (UK)  »
Hi

At last I have my first Scottish Ancestor my 3rd Great Grandfather John Hall born 1795 in Dumfries.  He states this on all Census transcriptions I have seen not just entering Scotland as most do.  Never having ventured past the border whilst researching I am now at a standstill

He married a Ann Harle in Newcastle in Jun 1823 and produced 3 little Halls and was a Customs Officer/Tide Waiter from at least 1841 till 1871

Can anyone help me on finding his parents or pointing me in the right direction, I have spent a fair amount of time googling and checking a lot of Dumfries links and come up with a blank.

Any help/hints/tips would be appreciated

Would some kind person please tell me any information they can on the following:

Robert Hall married Sarah Gregg on 15 May 1843 their fathers were:

John HALL, born 1805 (could be a lot sooner but not much later) he lived in Forth St, Newcastle in 1843, was listed as a Customs House Officer and probably Robert born c1825 living with him, Robert was listed as a Brushmaker. 

William Gregg, birth year not known but probably same roughly as John above, he lived in Rosemary Terrace, Newcastle and was listed as a Cork Cutter (new one on me)

any information on the above John or William would be greatly appreciated.

I have Robert in the 1851 census and onwards thru 1891

Durham Lookup Requests / 1851 Census Lookup - Stockton - Robert Hall
« on: Saturday 30 April 05 04:34 BST (UK)  »
Looking for a Robert Hall Occupation Brushmaker born c 1825 Northumberland (probably Newcastle)

He married a Sarah Gregg in 1843 in Newcastle they had a child Sarah quite soon after their marriage but not sure of date.   They had at least 3 children in Stockton, twin boys born in 1853 John and William E and Elizabeth in 1855.  The last 3 children were born in Paradise Street, Stockton.  Cant find any trace of William E in 1871 census so maybe he didnt survive childhood and nobody has ever mentioned him in my family.

Dont know when he moved to Stockton and would like to know if they were in Stockton in 1851.

Thanking you in anticipation

Cumberland Lookup Requests / David Kirkup
« on: Monday 31 January 05 18:29 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

Looking for help on a David KIRKUP b c1820 in Brough Cumberland according to his census entries from 1861 thru 1891.   He married a Mary Carr b c1820 in Berwick on Tweed.   They married in Gateshead 10 Nov 1849 then produced 3 Children:

Walter Kirkup b 1851
Margaret Kirkup b 1852
John Carr Kirkup b 1856

all 3 were born in Durham

Im trying to find out when he was born and who his parents were.

His birth date is a bit suspect as he changed his age in each of the censuses although I believe that might have been to attract a new wife as he remarried a Alice Thompson in 1890 and in the 1891 census he said he was 61 but in the 1881 one he said he was 60 and she was only 55.

Any help or pointing in any direction would be greatly appreciated.
