Hi Listers

In the 1841 census in Newburn Parish I have a family and mother and children are listed as "inmate".
I am aware that this term can be used for people in the workhouse, however, this family appear to be living with another family member who is listed as "widow", and appear to be living in a normal dwelling.

Ref: HO/107/823/9 - 19. on the bottom of right hand page - Margaret Chapman, Mary Scott and children
The print is very feint but still legible.

I would appreciate any comments on the above.

Hi WeeMary

Thank you for your reply. I have recently obtained the death certificate for Catherine and am now trying to locate her burial.

In the past Grant has very kindly looked up funeral notices in the Chronicle which give place of burial.

Once again, thanks for your reply.

Regards
Dorothy

Hi Gadget

Many thanks for your reply.

I have enquired on birth registrations for Thomas in Morpeth 1842 and 1844, the father was not Robert nor the mother Margaret.

My apologies I should have mentioned in this post that this subject was posted at the end of last year as a brick wall and I received information from many kind listers.

However, I am still stuck - I really cannot get a lead in any direction.

Since the posting of last year I have based my search on the fact that Robert married Mary Chapman in Newburn.
There is a death for Mary Scott of New Winning 13 June 1842 age 36 in the Family Search Bishops Transcripts which fits.

I have been searching for a second marrige for Robert based on the fact he was listed as widower.
The only relevant one so far is that of Robert to Margaret Robinson at Easington - maybe this was his second marriage - although the area does not fit.
(found this on Durham Records Online).

I would welcome advice as I feel that I am on the wrong track!

Cheers

Hi Listers

Alas I am still trying to"smash" my Scott brick wall!!

I would like to hear from any listers who have an interest in the following (this is to assist in my process of elimination):

Robert Scott c1800/1810 Walbottle/Newburn

Thomas Scott c1844 Bedlington
in the following census: 1851 Winlaton, 1861 to 1901 Crawcrook.

Marriage of Robert Scott (father William) widower and Margaret Robinson spinster (father Thomas) both of Shotten Colliery
at St Mary the Virgin Easington, 8th February 1845.

Marriage of William Scott and Mary Wheatley
5 June 1802, Newburn.

Should any lister want a challenge I would be more than happy to hear from them, have a mound of information but alas still cannot find Thomas Scott c1844 birth or anything else except census!!!

Have also posted this on the Durham board.

Heres hoping
