Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Boy or girl?

« on: Friday 06 May 22 09:11 BST (UK) »

This is a watercolour supposedly of my x3 great grandfather when he was 4, dated 1849

I know boys wore gowns etc, but everything about this photo to me looks like a girl; could it be a boy and is his clothing usual for the time? What could the box be?

Thanks, Christian

Dumfriesshire / Search for Mary Consterdine

« on: Sunday 03 April 22 08:59 BST (UK) »

Hello

Mary Consterdine married William Hough 16 Dec 1873 in Manchester. She appears in later census with him and her children and it states born Scotland or born Dumfries, Scotland. On the marriage record her father is named as David Consterdine.
There is a Mary Consterdine born and baptised at a similar time in Lancashire, with David as her father, but it’s not the same person - this one goes on to marry a Charles McKnight

Is anyone able to find my Mary Consterdine in Scotland please? I assume the surname spelling may vary. Hoping someone can help

Thanks

Northumberland / Ann Robson born about 1815 Birtley

« on: Friday 05 November 21 13:49 GMT (UK) »

Hello, hoping someone can help please.

I have an Ann Robson on my tree born abt 1815 in Birtley to William Robson and Ann Parker.

I am trying to find out if this could be the same Ann Robson who married a Nicholas Robson 6 Dec 1845 in Birtley. I was hoping there might be a marriage document that names her father, or perhaps the 1841 census might help.

Thanks, Christian

Northumberland / Daniel Watson Richardson

« on: Thursday 04 March 21 10:51 GMT (UK) »

I attach a marriage certificate of Annie Richardson and John William Wood 21st March 1893 Longhirst.

It appears on the document that Annie’s fatter is Walter Richardson, Hind who is deceased.

I believe the first name is an error, and that the father is actually Daniel Watson Richardson (sometimes appears as Watson Richardson) who was born 13 Nov 1838 Killingworth and died before the 1881 census.

One of the witnesses to the marriage is Ellen Richardson who is my great grandmother, sister to Annie Richardson.

Is there any other way to confirm that Annie’s father was Daniel Watson Richardson, any other place the brides father is recorded?

Thanks

Northumberland / William Baty and Mary Ellen Proudlock married Jan 1882 Hexham

« on: Thursday 11 February 21 09:20 GMT (UK) »

I’m trying to trace the parents of this William Baty

William Baty and Mary Ellen Proudlock married Jan 1882 Hexham

They had at least 2 children :-

Thomas Baty who emigrated to Australia, I don’t know when he was born

Isaac Baty born 1883 Hexham

Isaac emigrated to New Zealand, he married there in 1906. I believe his parents and possibly another sibling went with him too.

I’m particularly interested to track when and where William Baty was born and to whom.

Can anyone help please

Thanks, Christian

Northumberland / Jane Richardson born 6 Jul 1809

« on: Wednesday 06 January 21 16:39 GMT (UK) »

Can anyone help me please

Jane Richardson born 6 Jul 1809, baptised Hartburn 13 Jul 1809 to Daniel Richardson and Isabel Ellison (Allison)

I am trying to find her on later census / marriage

Some trees have linked her to a Jane Richardson who went on to marry John Hepplewhite on 4 Apr 1831 at Heworth, Durham. This Jane Richardson then appears on census with him and her children as either born in either Howden or Tanfield, not Hartburn. Can this be the same Jane Richardson detailed above, and if not, what happened to my Jane Richardson (daughter of Daniel & Isabel)

Thanks, Christian

Northumberland / Matthew Robson & Isabel Taleford married 28 Nov 1765 Simonburn

« on: Saturday 12 December 20 16:09 GMT (UK) »

Hello all

I’m trying to find the parents & siblings of Matthew Robson, who married Isabel Taleford on 28 Nov 1765 in Simonburn

They went on to have Jane Robson bap 8 Jan 1775, Matthew Robson bap 18 Apr 1779 and William Robson bap 8 Sep 1782 all at St Giles, Birtley

Any ideas as to the parents and family of Isabel Taleford also appreciated. I think Taleford may have various spellings.

Thanks, Christian

Northumberland / Ann Forster & Leonard Armstrong

« on: Tuesday 17 November 20 21:01 GMT (UK) »

I hope everyone is keeping well and occupied with genealogy during lockdown! I was hoping someone might be able to help please

I have Ann Forster marrying Leonard Armstrong in Chollerton 14 Jan 1790.

I believe Ann Forster to be born in Hexham to Thomas Forster & Ann Bell, but not sure how to prove this. Can anyone link the 2 things, and is there a birth / baptism record anywhere for Ann?

Secondly, what other children did Thomas Forster & Ann Bell have, they were married 16 May 1765 in Hexham

Thank you, Christian
