Durham / Rennie or Doran, or Rennie Doran
« on: Sunday 08 March 20 15:39 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to find the date of marriage for James Rennie Doran and his wife Sarah. James was born in Carlisle, 1833-1835. His surname appears to change from Doran to Rennie and then later in life back to Doran. Very intriguing.
As of 1851, he was living with his parents, aged 16 and his name along with his family has changed from Doran to Rennie (1851 Census: Age 16. A James Rennie is living in Newcastle with father John Rennie 37, mother Margaret 39, siblings Martha 13, Mary 11 and John 3.)
As of 1854, No record of a James Doran marrying a Sarah about this time. A child William Rennie is born DecQ 1854.
1857 Son Francis born 1857 is named Francis Doran and is later recorded as Francis Rennie Doran. The family, however, continue to use the surname Rennie.
On later records, James' last name reverts back to Doran.
I am especially keen to know when he married Sarah and what her surname was. Sarah was born 1835 in Carlisle.
Thank you for any help you can provide. Alison

Lancashire / Ann Walton - Walton on the Hill
« on: Saturday 28 December 19 16:30 GMT (UK)  »
Trying to find the parents of Ann Walton or witnesses when she married William Featherstonhaugh at St Mary, Walton on the Hill, Lancashire, 15 February, 1812. William was from Durham and I cannot confirm where Ann was born. I tend to think she was born in the same area that she was married in. I have seen her parents as Robert Walton and Patience in Durham, however, believe the person building the tree on another website may have been guessing.
Thank you.

Durham Lookup Requests / Ann Walton and John Clark
« on: Saturday 24 March 18 17:16 GMT (UK)  »
Absolutely stuck trying to find who Ann Walton's parents were and the parents of John Clark, also when he died.
Ann was born about 1796 in Durham. Ann married William Featherstonhaugh at Walton on the Hill, Lancashire, 1812. William died and then she married John Clark at Witton Gilbert, 1834. I can only guess she died 1856, however, I am not certain.
I can't find a death record for John Clark, although I know he was still alive on the 1861 census living with his son, William Clark and family in Witton Gilbert.
Any help finding Ann's parents or when John Clark died would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Durham / Lucy Ord
« on: Sunday 25 February 18 16:20 GMT (UK)  »
I cannot find out what happened to Lucy Ord. Lucy was born in Stockton, 1831, her parents were Benjamin Ord and Ann (nee Hutchinson). There is a marriage for Lucy to John Langley Gennaut or Gennant in Stockton, 1851. John's father was Thomas Allison Gennaut or Gennant. I have found nothing for Lucy after her marriage and can find nothing for her husband or father-in-law. Can anyone help please?
Thank you.

Warwickshire / Robinson formerly living in Lanchester, Durham area
« on: Sunday 19 February 17 16:16 GMT (UK)  »
Seeking help to find what happened to my grandmother's Robinson family. They moved to the Birmighham area from Lanchester, Durham around the 1940's. My grandmother's sibling was Edward Robinson, he was born 1901 and married Mollie Hailes or Mollie Swailes. They had a son that I am sure has passed away, he was Frederick B Robinson, born 1926 in Lanchester, Durham.

Thanks in advance, Alison

please note I am not asking for information regarding living persons so as to not cause privacy issues.
