Northumberland / Mary Nolan - Newcastle
« on: Thursday 18 June 20 15:47 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for information about Mary Nolan, my 2 x g grandmother. All I know is that she was born in Ireland in 1839 and then moved to Newcastle. In about 1865 she married Mark Drew. I can't find them on the 1871 Census but in 1881 they were living at Public House Row, Cramlington with their 4 children. She died at Tynemouth in 1887.

Durham / Harry and Mary Jane TURNBULL - Chester-le-Street
« on: Tuesday 14 August 18 13:15 BST (UK)  »
My great uncle Harry TURNBULL joined the Durham Light Infantry in 1915. At the time he was living at Brown Buildings, Chester-le-Street.
 On 4th March 1916 he married Mary Jane MORTON at Holy Trinity, Pelton.
 He was killed in action in Flanders on 4th March 1917 - his 1st wedding anniversary.
His widow was then living at 5 Holmlands Park, Chester-le-Street.
I wonder what happened to her and did she re-marry?

Durham / Turner family in Durham
« on: Wednesday 03 September 14 14:26 BST (UK)  »
My great grandparents (John & Elizabeth Turner) emigrated from Chester-le-Street to Pennsylvania in 1893. They had a son (John William Turner) born there in 1897. For whatever reason they returned to England about 1900 & lived in Sacriston. In 1911 John was living with the family in Durham & was working in an 'Organ Factory'. I can find no trace of what happened to him after that. I have checked 1WW records but can't find him. Any ideas? I am the grandson of Susannah Robson Chapman Turner (his younger sister).

Essex / John Canham - Essex
« on: Sunday 17 August 14 21:41 BST (UK)  »
My Great Grandfather John Canham was born at Elmstead in Essex in Jan 1841.
He was the son of Thomas & Sarah Canham who had both died before John was 3 years old.
In 1851, aged 10, he was living as a 'pauper' in Tendring Union Workhouse.
In 1868, aged 27, he married Emily Riches in Brightlingsea.
I am interested in any information about him between 1851 & 1868.
