Durham / Thomas T Fletcher and family 1911
« on: Thursday 07 May 20 12:50 BST (UK) »
Some of the information I have about the family of THOMAS TRUEMAN FLETCHER, my paternal grandfather, is a bit confusing.
The 1911 England and Wales Census - taken on 2 April - has Thomas T, his wife MARY JANE (née DICKSON), my father EDWARD and his sisters NORAH and ELIZABETH living at 17 HACKWORTH STREET, DEAN BANK, FERRYHILL, CO:DURHAM
The birth certificate of my father’s brother JAMES DICKSON FLETCHER says he was born on 13 October 1911 at 5 EMILY STREET, WHEATLEY HILL, WINGATE, Co: Durham.
Wheatley Hill was in the Easington Registration District in County Durham.
Wheatley Hill is roughly 13 miles from Ferryhill.
There is an outline of Jim”s place and date of birth on his Death Certificate.
I had initially assumed that Thomas T had moved his family from Ferryhill to Wheatley Hill between April and October 1911 when Mary Jane would have been heavily pregnant.
Info in findmypast.co.uk records of County Durham Electoral Rolls for the relevant period is
The 1911@ and 1912* Electoral Rolls for the DEAN BANK N Polling District of the township of FERRYHILL in MID DURHAM Polling Division of the Parliamentary County of Durham also have Thomas T living at 17 HACKWORTH STREET, DEAN BANK, [The qualifying date for entry in Electoral Rolls for years between 1979 and 1914 was 15 July.]
Price Smallwood occupied 5 EMILY STREET, WHEATLEY HILL, WINGATE in 1908, 1909, 1911, 1912 and 1913 - Electoral Rolls for the Wheatley Hill Polling District Nn of the township of Wingate in Durham South-Eastern Polling Division of the Parliamentary County of Durham.
No results were found when Find My Past was searched for 1910 Wheatley Hill Electoral Roll entries for Thomas Trueman Fletcher’s family, for Price Smallwood and some of his 1909/1911 Emily Street neighbours.
5 Emily Street appears to have been a private house.
I have no record of any known relatives of Thomas T or Mary Jane living in Wheatley Hill in the relevant years.
Thomas T and Mary Jane were living in SHERBURN HILL, Co: Durham when my father and my mother married in 1933.
I should be grateful for any help to remove some of the confusion.
