The Common Room / Re: researching the female line
« on: Monday 09 August 04 18:47 BST (UK)  »
I started family history when I realised too late that I had never heard my mother mention her mother's name! So I started with mother's birth certificate and then traced her mother's family name [Shipley] back to 1780.
I have also been struck by the fact that the 2 names I am most interested in are Shipley and Nethercott, which is my mother-in-law's mother's name i.e. both maternal lines.
Within 2 generations these names are lost. This should not be so. Let the maternal lines live on!
My roots are in "Shipley" and my husband's are in "Nethercott"!

If he said northumberland he meant north shields. South Shields is in County Durham, south of the river, and was also in 1881-91. Having said that, they are very close together and my ancestors who married in South Shields baptised some children in North and some in South Shields!

No connection to yours I think, but I have a Hughes family from Holywell.
Joseph [mistranscribed 1881 as John] and Charlotte b.c.1826.
Known children: Ruth, John,Thomas,Mary Ann,Edward,Philip,William and David.
They later moved to Wigan area and then to County Durham.
Ruth was my great grandmother.
