I am looking for help tracing the birth details, including father and mother details, of Thomas Pyle. I have the following details so far.

Thomas Pyle marriage 18 July 1829 to Harriet Kirtley in Bishop Wearmouth, Durham.

1841census Matthews Street, Kelloe, Durham

Thos Pyle 58-62
Harriet Pyle 50-54 b Scotland
Thos Pyle 11 b Durham
Mary Pyle 9 b Durham
Edward Pyle 3

In the 1851 census his wife Harriet was shown as a widow so he must of died between the two census.

Also in the 1841 census it looks like Thomas was not born in County Durham.

Any help would be appreciated!

RootsChat covers such a variety of things to do with tracing family information that I thought I would ask if there is any member out there with or without the surname Pyle who has a connection to my ancestor Thomas Pyle who was murdered at the Redhills path in Durham in 1882. His murderer Peter Bray was hung in Durham Jail in 1883. Thanks!

My ancestor, Thomas Pyle, was murdered in Durham in 1882 and his killer was hung in Durham jail in 1883. Before he died he was living with a partner and 5 or 6 children who were his and not his partners. So when he died his partner went elsewhere to live and the story in the family is that some or all of his children went into Dr Bernardo's care and were adopted by a lady in Durham with the surname Hodgson and as a mark of respect all subsequent children born into the family had Hodgson as a middle name including myself. I am trying to find out if these children were in Dr Barnardos care and adopted by someone called Hodgson. Has anyone any information that might help me. I know that I can contact Dr Barnardos direct but the search fees will be high for 5 or 6 children. Thanks!
