Hello
On the 1851 census Mary Davies, wife of Thomas Davies, is in Scotswood, Newcastle-upon-Tyne with their children Phoebe, Richard, Jane and Ann. Mary's place of birth is what I am struggling with. She died in 1854 so this is the only record of her birth place I can find and it is, to me at least, indecipherable. Thomas's birth place is given as Montgomery which together with the surname Davies suggests Montgomery, Wales. Phoebe was born in Sandbach, Cheshire which is near the Welsh border. So far so good.
Complications set in with the 1861 census which finds Thomas still in Newcastle with a new wife but with birth place recorded as Scotland. Newcastle of course is not far from the Scottish border.
Mary's birth place looks as though it begins Carr__ and possibly ending with ___tree and has a second word that at a pinch could be a squashed up Montgomery. Nothing fits that name in the Montgomery, Wales area.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Having  a lot of difficulty finding the birth and parents/siblings of James Everett who according to the 1911 census when he was living in Barnsley,Yorkshire was born in Normanton Derbyshire. In 1911 he described himself as a labourer aged 58 and married to Sarah Ann for 20 years, aged 48 b.Staleybridge, Lancs. Also present was their daughter Ellen aged 11 b. Heckmondwike, Yorkshire in 1900.
They were also in Barnsley for the 1901 census but their places of birth seem to have been transposed by one line. If so his p.o.b. is given as Derby and he was a stone quarry labourer aged 53.
Despite months of looking I have found no record of a birth for any of them nor a marriage. The Family hearsay is that Ellen never had a birth certificate. They seemed to travel around a lot and a few months after her birth in Heckmondwike they were in lodgings in Barnsley so perhaps she wasn't registered.
If the 1911 census is to be believed they were married around 1891 but no luck anywhere. The surname is variously spelled Everett, Everitt, Everatt and variations of those. They would have been in their 30s by that time so maybe they were previously married?
Can anybody help find James in Normanton in the 1850s?

I have a George Lockwood buried Barnsley Cemetery November 1958 whose register entry says he was "found drowned at Wombwell". I have tried the Barnsley Chronicle around that date for the circumstances of the death but have found no newspaper report.
An unexplained death such as this would presumably have been subject to an inquest and coroner's report. Does anyone know if these records are available and if so how to access them?

Trying to establish the father of John Cunningham born in Ireland around 1845 and who appears in the 1871 census in 10 East Queen Street, Leeds married to Margret also born in Ireland about 1843. A marriage to a Margaret Kennedy took place in Leeds in 1865 Jun qtr. which could be the correct one because I have another link to a Kennedy family but I can't find this marriage in the parish register. Do these include Catholic marriages?

Looking for parents of Patrick William Stone who married Kathleen Mary Davies Mar qtr 1923
(Kensington 1a, 251).  Other than buying the marriage certificate are the Kensington archives online?

Patrick was born in 1899 in Taganrog, Russia to British parents. He appears in the 1911 census as a visitor in Robert Ernest Scholefield's London home but no trace of him in 1901 so perhaps still in Russia.
Do overseas births of British citizens have to be registered in the UK?
He spent some time in the British navy in the 1920s so perhaps his father was in the armed forces or government service? In the 1930s he crossed the Atlantic several times as a merchant of some kind before settling in the US around 1930.
Any additional information about him or his parents would be very welcome.
