Thanks that's information I didnt know.

Daniel Price was a carpenter and lived at no.3 in 1841,  1851, 1861 and 1871

Thanks you could be right as the census entries all show carmarthen then (mothvey, montay etc) which could be myddfai.

Could you please tell me where you searched to get that info as I'm getting stuck for places to search.

Thanks, if this checks out it could be a breakthrough for me in tracing my Price line

The cottages mentioned are two cottages together I believe, one of which was rebuilt recently (the one closest to the railway line).

I remember watching it being built and thinking how good it was that someone had taken the effort to rebuild it as it had been originally intended.

Hi Susan and Gaie

I've been liasing with The Tees Valley Indexes online and had a lot of help from them confirming or denying the detail I give them, what I have is as follows;

Child (in birth order)                                               Confirmed parents

John James Benstead  1      Nathan and Mary Ann Benstead formerly Bell
Charles Henry Benstead  2   Nathan and Mary Ann Benstead formerly (not Bell or Lamb)
Agnes Benstead     3            Nathan and Mary Ann Benstead formerly Bell
Jane Ann Benstead   4         Nathan and Mary Ann  Benstead formerly(not Bell or Lamb)
Mary Elizabeth   5                Nathan and Mary Ann Benstead formerly Bell
Philis Benstead     6              Nathan and Mary Ann Benstead formerly Bell
Emily Benstead       7           Nathan and Mary Ann Benstead formerly Lamb


in 1861 Nathan and mary Ann were living with 1, 2 and 3
in 1871 Nathan and Mary Ann were living with 1,3,4,5, and 6 (2 died and 7 not born)
in 1873 Mary Ann died
in 1874 Nathan marries Ann Martin
in 1881 No trace of Nathan or Ann martin
in 1881 1 is married 3 is married and 7 living with 3
in 1881 4, 5and 6 are in the workhouse in Middlesbrough together.
in 1901 Nathan working in workhouse in Ely (his birthplace)


They appear to be a normal family except the change of former name by Mary Ann.

I have done all my research online and very little in the archives, will I get to see birth certificate entries if I go to Middlesbrough without having to pay £7 for each one ?

Nathan and Mary Ann Bell's marriage certificate shows her father as Thomas Bell and her as a spinster so I'm baffled as to why the name changes
