Christine,

As far as I know, in 1871 they lived in Chirton, North Shields and at this point the census states Mary from Blyth as William Dye's wife.

In 1881 census, they lived at 69 Prosperous Street, Longbenton, though I cannot find this road name now. Their son William was 8 at this time, and records say he was born in Longbenton, so it's possible they married in Longbenton.

I did find a marriage record for a William "Day" in 1873 Oct-Nov-Dec Newcastle upon Tyne to either Mary Toole or Mary Ann Jones. This matches with William Dye Jnr's birth in 1873 but not the 1871 census, though it's possible they lied about being married in the 1871, I of course am speculating here.

What's also interesting, I found a birth certificate for William Dye listed as William Gills in 1873 Oct-Nov-Dec Gateshead, but of course we know that Mary Ann Gills died in 1867 so that's another confusing point. It is also very likely incorrect, mainly because the record is Gateshead rather than Tynemouth.

Hi All,
I've been reading your comments and wanted to add my two pence:

Mary Ann Gills did have two children Joseph b.27 Aug 1855 and John b.27 Jul 1858 prior to marrying William Dye.

She can be found in the 1851 census : http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tynesidehistory/census1851.html

1851 MARCH 30   WEETSLADE   24 Low Weetslade   Giles   Mary Ann   SERV   U   18   Farm Serv.   N. PONTELAND

It was here whilst working as a servant she fell pregnant with Joseph Gills Young b. 27 Aug 1855 in TREWICK, a township in Bolam parish, Northumberland; 7 miles SW of Morpeth.

John b. 27 Jul 1858 took his mothers name Gills, no mention of father, but it wasn't long after he was born that she married William Dye on 25 Dec 1858.

"William Dye: Labourer, Residence of Bingfield Comb, F: Daniel Dye (labourer), Mary Ann Gills of Bingfield Comb, F: Robert Gills (labourer). Witness: William Smith, Frances Gills"

She died during the birth of Mary Ann Dye in Jan-Feb-Mar 1867

Her widowed husband William Dye of Ardleigh, Essex, remarried abt. 1870-1873 to a second Mary (surname unknown) born abt. 1832 in Blyth, Northumberland (not Ponteland like Mary Ann Gills). Re: 1871 census as wife in Chirton, North Shields, Tynemouth, Northumberland, England along with Williams other children Jane and Meggy/Margaret.

They had one child together William Dye b. Oct 1873 in Longbenton. They can be found in the 1881 census at 69 Prosperous Street, Long Benton, Northumberland, England.

If anyone has any information about William Dye b. 1819-1902 from Ardleigh, Essex, his father Daniel Dye, and/or his second wife Mary Dye nee. ? b. 1832-1904 from Blyth - I would be most grateful.

Happy Hunting!
