Family History Beginners Board / Re: How to order a Birth Certificate from the GRO England

Hi All

As mentioned i will be ordering a copy of the Birth Certificate I want a copy of by post.. however from what everyone is saying here, it seems like another money making exercise?

So you can do the research yourself, and then provide the GRO index ref. and other details, and then get charged to actually get a copy ??

What do they then do? the GRO I mean... If you can search online and then find what you want, why not be able to buy it online... securely of course.. and traceable if needed to see who took what...

Just putting it out there.

I just put family research, works for me . . .

I believe it may just be the name of a farm, but I thought I'd ask in case it rings bells with anyone - this is in the parish of Inveravon.

Found this:

BURNSIDE OF AYEON    Burnside of Ayeon.

Ayoun
Ayeun    Valuation Roll 1866 & 1867
Mr Fleming Factor
John Hay Tenant
Black's Directory for Morayshire 1863
Estate Map    029.03    A small crofters dwelling near the Railway station. the property of Sir George McPherson Grant. Bart [Baronet] of Ballindalloch Castle

To add to the mix . . .

Maybe something like the Morpeth History Matters Group.

That is a brilliant facebook link Carol, I am in awe at the photographs on the page, and the right place to find the folks I want as there are other families we knew in the mix, many thanks for that one . . . : )

Diary > Wednesday 23rd June

Talking about Freezers, last winter we had a rather cold one and I awoke to the freezer part of my fridgefreezer being off and that was in the house, I found out that under 10c it can knock your freezer off because it is actually to cold for it, the fridge part on the other hand was still working, so when buying one that says not suitable for garages, or for outhouses, it means just that, so just why was my house so cold, I had in December adopted 2 abandoned cats, at that time the tomcat did not like to be to trapped in the house in any way, so I left a window open in the kitchen so he could slip in and out anytime he liked and this dropped the temperature in the kitchen where the fridgefreezer was kept, so I had to move the fridgefreezer into the lounge to keep it warm, I thought my fridgefreezer was a total gonna until I read the manual that came with it, then it was "Phew" all round as the freezer part was chocker with food, then after a few hours in the lounge where it was warmer the freezer part kicked in again, happy days, a live and learn experience, and certainly a day in my diary  . . . : )

Any information of the Shaw family, Donald and Nora Shaw living at 21 Station Road, known as Moorhouse Farm would be also gratefully received . . .

Exactly what type of info are you looking for?  Unless somebody has personal knowledge of them there are no census records for the period you are looking at.

When did this couple marry and what was Nora's maiden name?

Are they on the 1939 register - when were they born?

It is to families living around this area I am looking for, whose children might remember them, all other information as for birth, marriage and death are not needed, they are my Grandparents, and I'm looking for any information of them prior to my birth in 1959 at 21 Station Road, known as Moorhouse farm, and also to the farm known as Moor Farm, at 38 Station road, Stannington, Morpeth, which I frequent many a time in the 60's, I just wanted information as to who we were visiting in regard of that address, and could it have been it a rellie, no research is required, all personal, cheers . . .

Northumberland / Moor Farm, 38 Station Road, Stannington, Morpeth 1960/75

Ello,

Is there anyone who lived/lives local to Moor Farm, 38 Station Road, Stannington, Morpeth, in the 1960's and 70's, I believe it was a live stock farm with cattle on it, not to be confused with Moorhouse farm up on the main road on Station Road, though it seems our family did resided there up to 1959, I have done all the normal checks on Moor farm, 38 Station Road, Stannington, Morpeth, but alas, coming up with nothing . . . : (

Sorry for the late reply, Dad was just 21 when he got married, I did all of this 30 years ago, but, after your prompt Tickettyboo I went over it all again, including the Quinn family surname this time too, and got no where . . . : (

The only way to fill the gaps now are to get both my younger Uncles birth certificates, 1950 and 1957 respectively and see what addresses they come up . . .

Part of this was to find at what point my Grandparents came down to live in Stannington when I remembered something, I am not sure if my Grandfather knew I would hit this point in my life, but, he gave me some old photos, from those photos we now know they lived at Moorhouse farm, but, he also gave me something else, it was a school certificate of achievement for my uncle T, 1st uncle, and I thought later why has he given me this, this is for my Uncle and not my Dad, and didn't I later throw it away, silly me, if Uncle T, 1st Uncle was still attending school in Aberdeen it narrows the gap down to when they moved, so add 4 years to 1942 when he was born for hitting nursery, that brings us up to 1946 at least, add another year at the minium to have received his school certificate of achievement award we are at least at 1947, Uncle A, my 2nd Uncle was born in 1950 in the area of Morpeh, leaving just a 3 year gap, so anywhere between 1947 and 1950 they moved down from Aberdeen into the Morprth area, I know in 1958 when my Dad got married his home address was Moorhouse Farm, 21 Station Road, Stannington, Morpeth, but, could they have also been living somewhere prior to Moorhouse Farm before arriving there, again 2nd Uncle birth certificate needed to finalize the missing pieces, then maybe 3rd uncle D, whats holding me up is that I have 14 boxes all the same size packed up to move, a move that fell through, and in one of them I have a box holding 3 file boxes with their exact dates of birth, and to which to part of Morpeth they were born, and I am in no mood to unpack them all, as my 3rd Uncle has since died Familysearch gave his birth date and year, but guess what, my computer which is now near to extinction Familysearch won't open up to me anymore making it hard to apply for 2nd Uncle A birth certificate, just have to hope the registry office is nice to me when I apply for it . . . ; )

Just to conclude, this is the modern day  'North Moor' Postcode: NE61 6DY  :)

I found the actual address, I pumped in 3 other addresses for 36, 36a, 36b Station Road with the Land registry, and the last title plan gave more information, it states the propetry I am looking for is Moor Farm, 38 Station Road, Stannington, NE61 6DU, but, no information could be found to its owners so I couldn't get the title deeds or plans . . . : (

In regard of Moorhouse farm, 19 and 21 Station road, Stannington, The Shaws of 21 Station Road, looking at an ariel view photo, the Quinns would have been at No.19, and the land boundry was split directly through that building seen at the back of the house, so the left half belonged to Quinns at No.19, and the other half to the right No.21 belonged to the Shaws . . .

I have no information prior to 1970 where No.21 was sold to a William Huddleston and Doris Huddleston, then bought by the now owners in 2001, who at some point also bought No.19, if I am correct John Quinn died in 1971, and Mary in 1974, so not sure when the rest of the Quinns would have left and sold up, I will get that title deed for No.19 later . . .

242 Miles from Aberdeen where my Grandparents resided anywhere up to 1950 when their 3rd son was then born in Morpeth area, what prompted them to move, I have no idea, other than I know my Grand Mother's Uncle also resided in Northumberland area, it can have nothing to do with her father, as he was away residing in Edinburgh in this time period, 3rd Uncle birth certificate required, he he he . . .

That's where I am up to now, now I am off to stroke the cats, my little stress relievers . . . : )
