I have just received an update from a very kind fellow at the North Shields Library.
He states William owned a boat , mentioned in the Dictionary of Sailing Ships and his widow owned several after his death. Based now (1790) in South Shields
He mentions several John Davison's working on boats out of North Shields.
All very interesting.
What wonderful people you have working on Tyneside.

Thank you c-side for the recommendation re North Shields library (now called. North Shields Customer First Centre)
i had a very prompt reply from them stating they hold records of Master mariners and shipping from 1786. From Newcastle Custom House, Shields Custom House ( 1848 ) and Sunderland Custom House Records.
Also a Dictionary of Tyne Sailing Ships. Useful for tracing local ships, captains, masters and owners.
Maybe this will be useful to others.

Thank you both for your interest. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Thank you for your interest Radcliff
The surname is ORNSBY a very unusual one.
I think you are correct in your assumption. I have now found an Eleanor born to JOHN DAVISON
Baptised 18th April 1779
The only other ORNSBY is a WILLIAM listed as a MASTER MARINER, probably her brother.
Maybe I can find out about Mariners through him.
If he studied for a ticket, as they call it, then maybe there are records somewhere.
Anyone any ideas?

Where can I find any information regarding JOHN DAVISON Monkseaton Mariner listed as such on his dau baptism ANN 1783 Christ Church Tynemouth and his son's death record JOHN died 1771
I know records are kept in local Records Offices from the mid 1800's. In the programme--WDYTYA
With Cheryl featuring ( -admittedly ) a MASTER MARINER they went to a building overlooking North Shields, to look into this fact. Was it just for the view or are records held there?
I would expect he sailed out of North Shields as I doubt there would be anything relevant at Monkseaton.
I cannot find a marriage for him in the Bishop's Transcripts, I am having difficulty reading them.
Any help would be gratefully received.

Thank you Andrew for all that work.
They are sent to try us. yes I have looked at all the cross Border Marriages without any luck.
Just have to accept it happened at one point, or perhaps it never did!
Kindest Regards,
BigOoms.

Hi Andrew,
I wonder if you have time to look and see if there is a marriage in Belford after 1773 between an
Elizabeth Morton and an Edward Murdy.
Sometime ago you found what I think is her birth --- dau of William Morton and a Jane Sanderson of Berwick upon Tweed. William of Belford ----Elizabeth born around 1758/9 or even recorded as Eliza.
Thanking you,
Big Ooms

« on: Sunday 26 February 17 23:30 GMT (UK) »I am doing a one name study of Mortons/Murtons in Northumberland and the southern bank of the Tyne from South Shields to Ryton.
I have more than 3,800 parish register entries going up to 1841 and in addition I have wills, admons, Marriage Bonds, Legal cases, Militia lists, Hearth tax, newspaper entries, etc. and all the entries in the 1841 and 1851 censuses including strays.
I'm happy to look anything up for you if you have a query.
