Durham / Abram Andrew liddle 1897-1961
« on: Monday 06 February 17 16:02 GMT (UK)  »
Greetings all. Have been away working a while so my research has been rare. However I made an enquiry about the above person some time back and as a result of the help received. The original query was that he is shown on 1901 & 1911 census as living with his grandmother Isabella Andrews widowed and 1911 still with her only this time she had remarried and been widowed again under the name of Mason. I obtained Abram's birth certificate and it gave his parents as Frederick Briton Liddle (1858-1939) and Mary Atkinson (1859-1927) who in 1901 lived at 164 Burbank Street, West Hartlepool and Isabella lived at 86 Burbank. In 1911 Fred and Mary now lived 48 Benson Street and Isabella at 5 Hilda Street. Fred's parents were John Liddle and Ann Hill whilst Mary's parents were Robert Atkinson and Ann Carr. What I am trying to find out is how come Abram is listed as a grandchild when Isabella Andrews's maiden name was PROUD. I cannot find any surnames to marry up with Isabella's to make Abram her grandchild. Will appreciate all help.
Many thanks for reading this missive.

I am looking for all or any info on Samuel Lavis born 1856 High Ham Somerset who married Martha Jane Richards Vigar in 1861 from Long Sutton. This was the Lavis section who moved to Barry and opened a dairy. I have back traced Dr. Lennox of Barry to be the grandson of the above persons but I now require further details of Samuels family in high Ham. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I am trying to trace a marriage of James Robinson born 1778 in Ripon. He married on 20  May 1802 either to Mary Cresswell or Mary Grimstone. The marriage I understand was in Female Chapel Frith Derby. Please can somebody advise me which is correct or if the parish records are on line for this area.
Many thanks in advance

Glamorganshire / y Waun Araw, Dinas

Hi all,

y Waun Araw, Dinas

Please will someone advise me if there was a street of this name in Dinas, Rhondda. I was looking at the Creed register for Lllwnypia Workhouse and this was the address given for the 'informant'. I cannot find this street on a map so it may have been demolished but would appreciate it if someone could tell me where it was.
Many thanks

Durham / Abram Andrew(s) Little, West Hartlepool 1897
« on: Tuesday 12 August 14 18:07 BST (UK)  »
I am having a slight problem trying to find the parents of Abram A Little who was aged 4 on the 1901 census  (DUR RG13 4642) living at 86 Burbank Street West Hartlepool with his grandmother Isabella Andrews who was a widow along with her unmarried sons and daughters.
He then appears on the 1911 census (DUR RG14 29636 living at 5 Hilda Street West Hartlepool (he is now recorded as Liddel) still with his grandmother who in the meantime has remarried and been widowed again as Isabella Mason still with her unmarried children. I thought that a search of the indexes with Andrews as the mother, marrying a Little or Liddel would produce a result. however I drew a blank. Can someone advise how I can trace his parents?
Thanks in advance

Technical Help / Arnova 10b G3 tablet unrooting
« on: Thursday 17 July 14 13:11 BST (UK)  »
Having just purchased the Arnova 10b G3 tablet and being a novice I find a number of apps (applications?) will not run and say that it is because the tablet is rooted. How do I, if it is possible, unroot this tablet and if done will it cause any malfunction. Thanks in advance

Durham / Marriage of Sarah Ann Palmer and Thomas Richard Andrews in Darlington
« on: Tuesday 03 December 13 13:07 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all

Still trying to trace my great grandfathers first wife and think I am getting close. Can some kind soul tell me if the marriage of Thomas Richard Andrews was to Sarah Ann Palmer in 4th  quarter of December 1883 in Darlington ref 10a/22. Thomas originated from Langport, Somerset. Have no details of Sarah but think they may have come to the Pontypridd area in Wales a few years later where she died in 1889.

All info will be appreciated.

Thanks

Dave A
