I looked later and I wasn`t logged in !I was with FindMyPast last year - so it`s the turn of A this year...... I miss FindMyPast.
Too many results with Ancestry, even with the old search.
Thanks for the replies

Good episode.
Reminded me of the Armstrong and Miller sketch where a census occupation was given as "whore"

Northumberland / Re: Where is James Hewson pre 1891 census ?
« on: Monday 02 July 12 20:50 BST (UK) »
Thanks for your replies 
I`ve looked on FreeBMD and found Hewson, Hewitson and Hewison possibilities.
Catherine HEWITSON 1875 Ncl
Margaret HEWSON 1879 Ncl
Peter HEWISON 1882 Ncl
Sarah Elizabeth HEWISON 1888 Ncl
Mary Ellen HEWISON 1890 Ncl
James HEWSON 1892 Gateshead
Anthony HEWISON 1896 Gateshead
A possible marriage for Kate HEWSON in 1900 in Tynemouth to James Stuart Flett or Henry Ruscoe.
Plenty to keep me occupied for a while
Thanks again for your help

Northumberland / Where is James Hewson pre 1891 census ?
« on: Sunday 01 July 12 18:47 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could spot my James Hewson (born 1853/1854 in Rickergate, Carlisle) in any census before the 1891 ?
I have tried every spelling of Hewson I can think of and some wildcards but can`t come up with anything that looks like him. Here`s what I have so far -
1891 living at Westgate with wife Sarah (1854 Wigton) and 4 children. Occupation is coal miner
1901 Gateshead, with wife and 6 children. Occupation is retail grocer and fruiterer
1911 Gateshead, with wife and 3 children. Occ is given as `chiefly dealer`
From these sources I think these are the children. They were all enumerated as born in Newcastle, apart from James and Anthony who were born in Gateshead.
Kate 1876
Margaret 1878
Peter 1882
John Robert 1886
Sarah E 1889
Mary E 1890
James 1893
Anthony 1895
I found a baptism for a James Hewson on FS of 22nd May 1853, St Cuthberts, Carlisle with parents Anthony Hewson and Ann Rutherford.
There is a marriage of an Anthony Hewson and Ann Rutherford Cunningham in Carlisle in 1853.
I can`t find a marriage for James and Sarah which should be in about 1874 if the 1911 census is correct.
I`ve run out of ideas so anybody elses would be much appreciated

Thanks for your replies
My G Grandmother Hannah Porter, died on 30th November 1909 at Elswick, aged 39 and there are whisperings in the family that my G Grandfather Robert Porter, pushed her onto the fireplace, she hit her head and died, maybe a couple of weeks afterwards. The cause of death on the cert is convulsions, paralysis and syncope.
I was hoping to be able to find 1909 newspapers online to see if I can find any mention of it as Robert Porter was a bit of a local `character` (by that I mean he was a bad boy
)
I`m going to have to plan a trip to the Central Library aren`t I
