Kent / BALK in Hythe
« on: Wednesday 11 January 06 22:40 GMT (UK)  »
Is anyone able to help me with the surname BALK in Hythe, Kent?  I am looking specifically for a Robert BALK born about 1817 in Hythe.  I am trying to identify his parents, who MAY have been Christopher and Jane.  He may also have had sisters Mary Ann, Catherine, Dorothy and Margaret.  In 1851 he was a grocer in Stranton, Durham.  Prior to that he was the Captain of a couple of ships based around the Sunderland, Durham area.  He married his wife, Mary Hannah DOBSON, in Stockton, Durham on 30 November 1846.  Was he still in Kent in 1841?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / WIFFEN death or marriage
« on: Wednesday 21 December 05 09:32 GMT (UK)  »
Could anyone help me locate the death of Martha WIFFEN please?  In 1901 she was listed as a widow living in Guisborough age 64 but I have searched the death indexes up to 1930 and cannot find her death.  She was born abt 1835 in Leytonstone, Essex, surname unknown, but she married a James WRIGHT, and then a George WIFFEN.  Its possible of course that she may have married again, so a record of a marriage would be most useful.

Many thanks

Cumberland Lookup Requests / Birth lookup ARCHER in Nenthead
« on: Wednesday 21 September 05 13:15 BST (UK)  »
This is a bit of a long shot given that I have very little information, but I wondered if anyone would be able to check the parish registers of Nenthead for a birth of Mary ARCHER in 1811?  Unfortunately I have no parent details
Thanks

Durham Lookup Requests / CROW and THYNNE in Gateshead - 1841 and 1851
« on: Friday 16 September 05 12:53 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for a William Halliday CROW (b. 1830) in Gateshead, probably the Oakwellgate area.  His parents may be Ralph and Barbara but I'm hoping the census entries will help confirm that.  When he married in 1852 in Gateshead his residence was given as Oakwellgate and his occupation as Smith.  I know there were a lot of CROWs in Gateshead, all smiths, so I'm really trying to confirm who his parents were.
I am also looking for his wife Frances THYNNE, who was also resident in this area of Gateshead.  She was born in Dundee, Scotland and her father was Robert THYNNE, an anchor smith.
As always, any assistance would be hugely appreciated

Durham Completed Look up Requests / BALK in Stockton - 1841
« on: Thursday 15 September 05 00:03 BST (UK)  »
Could anyone please help me find a Robert BALK in Stockton in 1841.  Robert BALK was a Mariner, born abt 1817 in Hythe in Kent.  He married Mary Hannah DOBSON (b 1822) in Stockton in 1846.  I'm hoping he was already in Stockton at the time of the Census, but failing that, details of Mary Hannah would be equally helpful.

Thanks

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / NUTTER lookup please - 1851 Census
« on: Wednesday 14 September 05 23:54 BST (UK)  »
Would someone be kind enough to look for a NUTTER family in the 1851 Census.  Father William (b abt 1829 Wadsworth), mother Grace (b abt 1831 Wadsworth) and daughter Mary Ellen (b Jul 1849 Wadsworth).  There may be other children.  I think they may still be in the Wadsworth area.

Thanks
Andie
