Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Robert Miller b. 1763
« on: Monday 04 December 17 12:26 GMT (UK)  »
Not the same Robert Miller BUT...

My 6x G-Grandfather was Robert Miller born in Co. Durham c.1735-1740.

He had a Daughter Sarah Miller who was born in Gateshead, Co. Durham in 1778.

Any links?

I haven't found Mother or siblings of Sarah yet...

Thank you Barry and Trish...

It turns out that Sarah is the Mother of Robert Ormston but I have no known info in the Father. The mystery "Jane" turns out to be none other than his Grand-Mother (Jane Ormston (maiden: Robson) with whom he lived as a child.

Ahh okay, thanks. I wasn't sure if anyone with a GenesReunited subscription or someone who'd previously researched the family would have access.

Durham Lookup Requests / Birth Cert. 1890 Robert ORMSTON, Jarrow
« on: Friday 12 October 12 22:51 BST (UK)  »
My Great-Grandfather Robert married Ada Hannah Richardson in 1912 in Newcastle and they lived together in South Shields.

Robert was born in 1890 in Jarrow/Co. Durham area. His mother was Jane Ormston but I don't know her maiden name or husband's name.

1901 census reveals this:

Reference RG13, Piece 4740, Folio 103, Page 37
7 St Peter's Square, Jarrow

Ormston, John  Head  M  66  Corporation Roadman  b Jarrow
Ormston, Jane  Wife  F  65  b Jarrow
Ormston, Sarah  Daughter  F  34  b Jarrow
Ormston, James  Son  M  29  Engine Fitter  b Jarrow
Ormston, Walter  Son  M  27  Shipyard Labourer  b Jarrow
Ormston, William R  GrandSon  M  14  Newsagent's Errand Boy  b Jarrow
Ormston, Robert  Grandson  M  10  b Jarrow

So I've found Robert, but still don't know whether his Father was James or Walter. I'm also now puzzled as to why Robert was living with his Father's family.

Is anybody able to unearth Robert Ormston's birth certificate so I can find out who his Father was and so I can confirm that his Mother was Jane.

Thanks! :)

I think it must be the 1st one, I know that he was definitely born in 1891 so he would have been 9 or 10 at the time of the 1901 Census. Thanks for the tip with the birth cert. :)

Durham Lookup Requests / 1901 Census ORMSTON in Jarrow

Hi everyone, I'm researching my Ormston relatives. I've been scratching my head over my great grandparents Robert Ormston & Ada Hannah Ormston (Richardson is her maiden name).

They had 5 sons Wilfred, Roy, Victor, Kenneth & one more Melville who sadly died as an infant. I never met any of them but I know that Wilfred (before early death in 1974) and Ken were classical singers and regularly performed around the North East.

Robert & Ada married in 1912 in Newcastle and lived in South Shields.

Robert was born in 1891 in Jarrow/Co. Durham area. His mother was Jane Ormston but I don't know her maiden name or husband's name.

Anybody recognise any of these people? Can anyone help/shed some light on Robert Ormston's parents?

Thanks!
