Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Orton and Brown family of Sunderland
« on: Wednesday 17 October 12 17:42 BST (UK) »
Thank you for your reply. All I have is a copy of a birth cert for Ann issued for the purposes of the Widows Orphans and Old Age Contributory Act and issued on 6 June 1930. This is how I know the details about Catherine and James and the address at the time of the birth. I have not found them on a census yet but I am more interested in the father of Catherine nee Orton. Thanks

Durham Lookup Requests / Orton and Brown family of Sunderland
« on: Wednesday 17 October 12 17:28 BST (UK) »
I am interested in finding out about a Mr. Orton. I do not know his first name but I know that he had a daughter called Catherine who married a James Brown, Bottlemaker Journeyman. They had a daughter Ann who was born 29 July 1865 and they lived at 12 Gerald St Ballast Hills Sunderland. But it is the father/grandfather Mr. Orton I wish to research. I have tried bmd and census but so far no luck. I do not know for certain that he lived in Sunderland but presume he lived there or somewhere in North East, presumably Co. Durham. Please help!

Thankyou to everyone who posted information about my grandfather Frederick William Spackman It would seem likely that it is him and I will continue to research him and my grandmother whose name I did not know but as my father had a sister Alice then this matches pretty well. This has set me on a journey as if this is him then his origins are very different from what I was led to believe by my father and I intend to find out as much as I can.
I also think that this is going to be fun and it's great that my children have got involved too!

Using FreebMD I have think I have found the birth of your father, giving his mother's maiden name as LEE, which fits with the Frederick's mother-in-law in the latest census.
This looks like the right marriage,
Frederick William SPACKMAN Dec Q 1909 Shoreditch 1c 171
Alice Dorothy LEE
Putting in the surname SPACKMAN with mother's maiden name LEE brings up quite alot of matches 5 of which are in the same registration district as your father. I cannot find another SPACKMAN/LEE marriage so they could all be siblings.
We are not allowed to list details of possibly living people here so I'll leave the FreeBMD/Ancestry search to you to see if you recognise any of the names that come up.
Regards,
Daisy

I am looking for my grandfather Frederick William Spackman born 1874 died 30th December 1949. His address when he died was 21 Verney Road, Dagenham. I do not know where he was born, I only know that he went to Cambridge, married in 1908, was blinded in the First World War and had, as I have been told, 22 children including my father Charles Henry George Spackman.
