Durham Completed Look up Requests / Tamar Ross
« on: Tuesday 08 March 16 13:05 GMT (UK) »
I have found in the burial records for the Holy Trinity Church in Stockton upon Tees, details of the burial of Tamar Ross on 3rd April 1843. I would be grateful if someone has a copy of the published MIs if they can confirm whether or not there is a gravestone.
Thanks
Thanks

Suffolk / BIRT in Framsden/Ipswich
« on: Monday 01 December 14 21:22 GMT (UK) »
My proven information is of a Mary Birt being bp 4th Aug 1816 in Framsden, Suffolk the daughter of Samuel Birt. Although I have no proof, I suspect Samuel (may have been from Ipswich) married Mary Smith in Framsden on 30th Nov 1815. Mary had a brother William who was also born in Framsden in 1818.
The entire family moved to Marylebone, Middlesex by the time of the 1841 census and remained there for the rest of their lives.
I have no information of this family(or ancestors) while they were in Suffolk

Trying to find out some info on a Mary Birt who was born in Framsden, Suffolk in 1816. My understanding is she was the daughter of Samuel Birt, a carpenter,bricklayer/builder.

Thanks for all the contributions.
I am aware of the death date of Thomas and the death of 77yr old Matthew Bowser Smith's death in 1951 makes the relationship questionable. Thomas died when he was about 31yrs old in late 1874 and Matthew Bowser Smith's birth was registered in 2nd quarter of 1875 so yes, Thomas' wife must have been pregnant when her husband died IF the 1951 death of Matthew B Smith is the relevant one.
It is this uncertainty along with the problem of researching the surname Smith (the Bowser is not always used) which made me want to track down their burial places so that (with a bit of luck) the headstones might provide extra clues about relationships.
