Cumberland / Re: Looking for Ann Cairney or Keaney
« on: Yesterday at 18:04 »
I think we'd need a little more info to try to help

Was Cairney/ Keaney her married name or her birth name?
If it was her birth name what name was used for her death registration in 1873, Durham?
Her death record would likely show the name of her husband.

Northumberland / Re: Family notices of BMDs- did relatives pay to publish these in newspapers?
« on: Yesterday at 14:50 »
what year was the obit in the Journal? Those two clips were both from 1869 and I have no idea what the situation was either earlier or later.

Let me know the date and I'll have a look to see if I can find the rates in force in that year

I had a quick look at a couple of Northumberland newspapers in 1869
The Newcastle Journal was aimed at a large, densely populated area and charged
The Alnwick Mercury was aimed at a very much smaller area and did not charge

If you want to track these other people and get stuck, post what and who you are stuck with on the main Lancashire board and others will happily help.

If it helps, people could purchase the rights of burial in a grave, and the right to erect a gravestone if they wanted to.
They didn't own the land as such but could decide who was buried in the plot. The other people may have been relations but also could be friends/ neighbours they were close to.
I have a deed from a grave in Yew Tree, it was purchased in 1918 and says it grants rights of burial in the plot  'in perpetuity', and had to be produced if a further burial was to take place.

I am unsure if the same would apply to 1931 in Ford but do know that in more recent times civil cemeteries usually limit the time scale to x amount of years.

Find a Grave is a volunteer project, not all graves/burials will show on there they only appear if someone has submitted them.

Ford Cemetery section usage list can be seen here:

and that confirms that TW is a Private Section.

Census and Resource Discussion / Re: 1921 Census - Missing Households in Oldham
« on: Tuesday 23 April 24 11:30 BST (UK)  »
Utter fail here, I've tried every trick I usually use, nationwide, for each child's first name and approx year of birth and scanned down the results looking for possible mistranscriptions.
I've tried similar searches specifying another person in the household or the children's orphanhood status  and still nothing.
I've even tried the Scotland 1921 census.
Sadly the enumerators schedule books (which we are used to seeing in pre 1911 census where the original forms were not retained)  were destroyed in a fire.
and the original schedules can't be checked at the N.A. as they only give access to the FindMyPast database and we can't order and see the originals.

IF the form was missed when they were scanned, then your only hope is that when FindMyPast's contract for exclusivity expires another company may scan them and they 'may' turn up.


Sorry

Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Philipson / Wailes Auckland area
« on: Monday 22 April 24 18:07 BST (UK)  »
Its likely but without having details from their marriage its still not definite.
You could try emailing the Durham Registrars and asking if they would check the record and confirm/ deny that the groom was a lead miner and his father was called William.
Some registrars will reply, some just tell you how to buy the cert to find out, but Shy Bairns get Nowt so its worth asking.
NB if they do reply, they will only tell you if its a match or not, they wont tell you any new info.

Just a thought, as the 1921 census was delayed and wasn't taken till 19th June, many people were on holiday. Perhaps the Mill had an annual shutdown week and they'd gone on holiday? Even if they'd only gone for a couple of days they may be listed elsewhere with relatives or in a boarding house at the seaside.

I've lost count of the number of mistranscription errors I have submitted since the 1921 census was released and I'm still doing it.

Though we can't give specifics from the 1921 census if you supply names and approx birth years ( and at least a county)we can have a look and perhaps advise what to use as search criteria?
