Northumberland / Which Church?
« on: Wednesday 29 July 20 15:09 BST (UK)  »
I am back to Richard Donkin c1771 in one of my trees.  He married Dorothy Goodfellow at Stannington, and in the record it states that he is a native of Byker.  Does anyone know which church I should be looking at to find out if he was actually born there.  I am at a total loss as to where to look.

Northumberland / Birth for Alexander Donkin
« on: Monday 20 July 20 13:53 BST (UK)  »
I am unable to find a birth registration for Alexander Donkin.  I have his baptism as 03/03/1850 and know that he was married 25 August 1873 at Horton Parish Church.  He died 17/03/1903 of double pneumonia at Bebside, Blyth, Northumberland.  Does anyone know where I should be looking to find his birth record apart from Ancestry?
Thanks
Kath

Northumberland / Lumsden family
« on: Saturday 18 July 20 11:59 BST (UK)  »
My g.g.grandfather, John Lumsden c1832 married Jane Somerville c1832 around 1853(ish).  According to all the census records they had five children - William c1854, Mary 1855 (confirmed), Alice A c1860, Charlotte c1869 and Betsy Ann 1870(confirmed). The problem I am having is that I can only find records on Mary and Betsy Ann.  The only birth record I found on William was in 1855 which means that he was born 6 months after his sister Mary, but as the census states he is the older brother so it cannot be right.  I can find no record of Alice A or Charlotte at all.  I have checked Ancestry and found nothing, and am at a loss as to where to look now.  I lost William after the 1871 census, Alice A after the 1861 census and Charlotte after the 1871 census.  Can anyone out there help me please?

Northumberland / Jane Ann Graham 1864
« on: Monday 06 July 20 15:41 BST (UK)  »
She married John Coates Johnson in 1895, but I cannot find anything about her before then.  I know she was born in North Shields, and her father was William Graham c1828 and her mother was Mary - possibly McCoull (McCoule).  I am on Ancestry and cannot find anything.  Can anyone help?

Lancashire / John Cropper death
« on: Friday 03 July 20 15:03 BST (UK)  »
I have a John Cropper, born 1835 in Warrington.  The last census I have him on is 1881 but cannot find a death for him.  On his death he lived in Ancoats, Manchester.  Any idea how I can find out when he died?

Lancashire / Alice Gill c1871
« on: Thursday 02 July 20 15:54 BST (UK)  »
I am researching the Broadfield side of the family and have a Samuel Broadfield 1863 married to Alice Gill c1871.  They got married in Beswick in 1894 and had at least two children Ernest 1899 and Minnie 1904.  I don't seem to be able to find Alice on the census before she was married.  Is there anywhere else I an look to find out about her parents and siblings?

I am looking for information on James Yardley c1819 and his family - Letitia c1839, Richard c1840, Sarah 1843,Thomas 1846, and James 1849.  I cannot find any record of their birth, etc. but I do know that Letitia married Samuel Broadfield c1832 and moved to Lancashire.  Any information on the rest of her family would be most appreciated.  Just point me in the right direction
