Northumberland Lookup Requests / Looking for great great grandfather
« on: Sunday 17 February 19 15:56 GMT (UK)  »
I’m looking for my great great grandfather. Sadly I know very little about the family at all. My grandfather has been a family secret and after 11 years of searching I’ve only just found him. Cyril Bennett. Born 1906 Newcastle on Tyne.

The man I’m looking for lived in the Newcastle/Durham area. Charles Joseph Bennett is his name. He has a son Charles Henry year of birth 1879.

Any help greatfully appreciated.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Y chromosome test
« on: Friday 27 July 18 14:01 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,
         I've been looking for living family of my grandad over the last few years and have finally discovered an individual who may be my cousin.
In order to show that we share the same grandad I'm thinking of having a Y Chromosome test done. Has anyone had this test done and if so can you recommend a company who i could contact to carry out the test.
Thanks.

England / search for great grandmothers parents
« on: Tuesday 15 May 18 16:15 BST (UK)  »
I’m trying to trace the parents of my great grandmother Edith Williment who married Wilson May on 26/9/1892.
I found a B.Cert for Edith 1871 born Norwich and I contacted the GRO to obtain it: Vol 4b, Page 156, Qtr 2 but they have been unable to find it. The marriage certificate shows her father to be Jacob Williment a labourer. The marriage taking place in Newcastle upon Tyne. As I can’t get her B.Cert I don’t know her mother’s name.
The 1861 census shows a Jacob Williment who is a labourer in Norwich with a wife Sophia. Unfortunately Edith is not on this Census as she’s not yet born. I can’t find Jacob Williment on the 1881 and 1891 census and therefore can’t make a link with the Jacob I’ve found.
Anyone with any advice? Thanks in advance.
