Durham / Robert Ritcherdson birthplace query
« on: Saturday 22 February 14 11:56 GMT (UK)  »
My Gt Gt Grandfather was Robert Richardson.  I have been unable to find him and his family on the 1861 census, until today I came across what I believe is the family under the name Ritcherdson.  The spouse and children all fit, as do the birthplaces, except for Robert himself.  His birthplace is given on FindMyPast as Muskham, Northumberland, and on Ancestry as Mushroom.  On the actual census return it does look like Mushroom to me.  Is there, or was there such a place, either in Durham or Northumberland?  I can't find any reference to it.  Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you.

Durham / Boulton/Bolton, James and Sarah,1851 census
« on: Sunday 19 January 14 11:41 GMT (UK)  »
James and Sarah were born in Wales, but migrated to Durham prior to 1848, when their 2nd son Benjamin was born in Sherburn Hill.  I have found them on the 1841 census, still in Wales, and Sarah and the two children appear on the 1961 census in Sherburn Hill, James having died in Durham in 1857.  I can find no trace of James, Sarah, Thomas or Benjamin on the 1851 census, in Durham or elsewhere.
The surname changes from Boulton to Bolton and back again regardless of time, so I have checked under both spellings, and as many variations as I could think of!
Any help would be appreciated.

Flintshire / Maiden name of Sarah Bolton or Boulton, born 1817 Holywell?
« on: Friday 10 January 14 15:54 GMT (UK)  »
From the 1861 census I have found my Gt. Gt Grandfather, Benjamin Bolton, and his older brother Thomas.  Their mother is Sarah Bolton, born Holywell in 1817.  By 1861 she is a widow. I can't find any of them on the 1851 census.  I have the two sons births, the older brother in Holywell as Thomas Boulton, and the younger in Durham as Benjamin Boulton.

I don't know anything about Sarah, except that which is stated on the census, and I don't know the name of her husband.  Can't find a marriage with surname Bolton or Boulton, spouse Sarah. 

Not sure where to go next, any suggestion would be appreciated!

Durham / Ralph Richardson born c 1801
« on: Wednesday 16 November 11 18:31 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find a birth record for Ralph Richardson, born c 1801 in or around Houghton Le Spring, possibly Hetton Le Hole.  He was registered in the 1841 census at Field House Farm, and owned a considerable amount of land at that time.  I've looked at Findmypast and Family Search, but can't find birth, Marriage or Death records for him.  It seems he died between 1841 and 1851, but I've not been able to conclusively identify his death record.  Any help would be appreciated.

Leicestershire / Charles Bent b1830
« on: Friday 14 October 11 14:10 BST (UK)  »
I've hit a bit of a wall with this.  I have found Charles and his wife Sarah Preston on the census from 1851 to 1891, except for the 1881 census.  I want to know what happened between 1871 and 1891?  I also cannot confirm Charles's parents of if he had siblings.  Any help would be appreciated.
