Northumberland Lookup Requests / Matthew Scott born c1811 Long Benton
« on: Monday 01 April 13 17:56 BST (UK)  »
Matthew Scott married Catherine Hoult 1833 in Newcastle, All Saints.   I think he is the son of James and Elizabeth but was wondering if anyone has access to the marriage register to see who the witnesses are.
Many thanks if you can help.

Technical Help / Printer permanently offline
« on: Monday 05 November 12 18:12 GMT (UK)  »
I have a Brother MFC - J6510DW A3 printer/scanner/copier which is always in the offline state so it won't print.  I reinstalled it and it worked for a while but we are now back to square one.   It should be wireless connected but even now it is wired it still does not work.  Any ideas to sort it welcome.   Preferably an idiot's guide as I am not technically minded.
Oddly enough it will work wirelessly from a laptop but not the main computer.
I have read the helpline tips but they don't work.     Clicking the work offline button just adds a further one saying offline - does not go to online.  Very frustrating!

Durham Lookup Requests / Hodgson/Chapman
« on: Sunday 16 September 12 11:03 BST (UK)  »
Ralph Hodgson married Mary Chapman, daughter of Nicholas, in Wolsingham in 1793.   That is confirmed by parish records and I have their descendants.
I am trying to trace Ralph's parents.  There are various trees on Ancestry which show them as John Hodgson marrying Lucy Thompson in Whiston, Yorkshire.  The only marriage for those two that I can find is in 1676 so that seems impossible.   The names John and Lucy do not continue down in the family whereas there are several Ralphs and Roberts. 
Any help to find a baptism and burial for Ralph will be appreciated.
Thanks

Kent Completed Lookup Requests / Southgate in Ashford, Kent
« on: Saturday 04 December 10 19:44 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I am chasing the family of Jacob Southgate.  He appears to be married to Matilda in the 1871 census (RG10 958 16 24) with children Clara 5, Minnie 3 and Alice 6 months.  In 1861 they have a first Alice age 6 months and there is a marriage to Matilda Pitt in 1858.  West Ashford.   All that is fine but by 1881 (RG11 1087 25 43) he is with Julia, who is younger than Matilda by a few years though still born in Ashford, Kent, and more children.   They are in Brighton.   I cannot find a death for Matilda nor a marriage to a Julia.  In 1911 they say they have been married for 47 years and had 6 children with 4 still living.
Can anyone sort this out for me?
Thanks,
afossil

« on: Friday 20 August 10 10:45 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I am chasing a branch of the Smith family in Norwich and can follow Robert Reeve Smith born 1853 back through the census.  I have his parents in 1851 too HO107 1814 376 32 but am wondering where the Reeve bit comes from.  His father was also Robert Reeve Smith born c1825.
Any help appreciated.

Surrey Completed Look up Requests / Parsons marriage - possibly in Capel
« on: Sunday 15 March 09 17:29 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I am looking for a marriage of Peter Parsons to a Mary.  Her place of birth in 1851 is Capel.  Age 45.  They are living in Sussex but I cannot find a marriage for them there.  Eldest child in 1841 is 15 so marriage in the early 1820s?    Trying to avoid getting a birth cert for one of the later children!

Durham Lookup Requests / George Allen/Allan
« on: Sunday 08 March 09 19:26 GMT (UK)  »
I have the 1891 census for George Allan in Stockton.   
RG12 4050 95 4
George Allan 80? Retired Blacksmith b Ireland
Mary Jane wife 62 b Newcastle
Fanny E Tate mar dau 40 b Newcastle
George H Allan son 26 Hammer Driver b Stockton

I cannot find them in any earlier census.  George died in 1895 age 61 which does not quite fit with the census. I can find the son in 1901 with wife Elizabeth.
Can anyone find the family in an earlier census or a marriage for George and Mary Jane?  I can't find Fanny's birth but George Henry is on freeBMD in Oct 1864

Thanks
