Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Name illegible on 1841 census

Yes I also thought maybe steaven as all the other names are mis-spelled. Thanks. Though if it's a t he normally crosses his t's.

Thank you for the clarification, I have now found family at Fencehouses as well as Morton Engine. Clearly they stayed around.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Name illegible on 1841 census
« on: Sunday 16 September 18 09:15 BST (UK)  »
I have done a lot of research over the years and find most things eventually but this one, the middle name, has me stumped. I do believe that the second letter (a c or e perhaps) has been struck out, which makes it look like  Ll as if a Welsh word but this is well nigh impossible. The family name is Hann - not Hand - and they lived at Morton Engine.  If anyone can throw any light on the matter it will save me a lot of head scratching. Thank you.

Durham / Re: Red Burn Row?
« on: Wednesday 25 July 12 15:21 BST (UK)  »
Hello, yes, the Joseph Allen in the 1861 census was the father of my ancestor Stephen Henry Allen, who was my grandmother's father.

I have the James Allen family in 1841 in Colliery Row as follows:

Allen, James, 50, Coalminer,   Yes (born in the county)
Allen, Jane,    50,                    Yes
Allen, Francis, 30, Coalminer,   Yes
Allen, James,   20, Coalminer,   Yes
Allen, Ann,      14,                    Yes
Allen, Joseph,  12,                    Yes
Allen, Jane,     10,                    Yes
Allen, John,      8,                     Yes
Lamb, John,    70, Coalminer,    Yes

Very little information was included in 1841.  Relationships and marriage status are not included on the census. 
The details are from   HO 107 / 312 /12  Houghton ED5

I don't know whether this is of any help.

Northumberland / Re: Edmenson, Burrell
« on: Wednesday 22 August 07 09:09 BST (UK)  »
Thank you for that.  I must admit I had most of the more recent information on the family, though I hadn't seen the Mary Ann in 1861, so that was good to see.  I'm stuck at 1841 with the Edmensons, going backwards in time, and should have made that clear.  The Burrells I know little about at all.

Thanks again for your efforts.

Northumberland / Edmenson, Burrell
« on: Tuesday 21 August 07 11:22 BST (UK)  »
James Edmenson, baptised Whittingham near Shilbottle, Oct 1788,  married Margaret Burrell, at St James, Shilbottle, in Jun 1815. She was apparently the daughter of Thomas and Isabella Burrell, and was baptised in Shilbottle in Mar 1786. Their son Thomas, c1815, was my Gt gt grandfather and married a Hannah whom I believe may  have been called Chambers.  Two of Thomas's daughters used the double name Burrell Edmenson, which led me to believe that their mother was a Burrell, but this seems to have come from Thomas himself, whose own mother was the Burrell.
Thomas is described as a horse breaker in Shilbottle in 1841.

Any further information on these people would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Roscommon / Logan from Roscommon
« on: Tuesday 21 August 07 10:41 BST (UK)  »
Amongst my ancestors is a Jane Logan who married a John Potts and was living in Gatehead.  In the 1861 census she was apparently working on a rabbit farm, without her husband, but with her young daughter.  It gives her place of birth as Co. Roxcommon, Ireland, which I assume is Roscommon. She was aged 24 at that time so would have been born around 1837.

In 1851 she was living in Gateshead (Hillgate?) with her mother, also called Jane Logan, born c 1903, from Ireland.  There was also a son, Martin, aged 19, and a lodger, Amy Hicks, aged 16.  Young Jane and Amy worked in a ropery and Martin was a saw mill labourer. There was no father and the mother is described as Head of the household.

If anyone can throw any further light on this family I'd be very grateful.

Thanks,

Durham / Re: Neasham Place
« on: Sunday 29 October 06 16:32 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks again, I will. 

Unfortunately the census returns don't give an actual address for my gr gr grandfather, just Neasham Place,  which doesn't help me a lot, and his profession is given then as coachman (domestic). 

It was my grandfather who told me that his grandfather had driven the coach for a big house, and that was all I had to go on for a long time.   I've found quite a lot since then but I imagine local knowledge would be the way to go for finding anything more definite.
