Durham / Re: Deaths in Sunderland Shipyards
« on: Tuesday 09 April 24 14:45 BST (UK)  »
Throughout my time researching those who lost their lives while employed in the shipbuilding industry in Sunderland a number of people have been in touch with information. Would just like to say thank you to all those who have contacted me.

Also to let anyone who may be interested know that a book has been published about the research.
The Shipyard Lads. Shipbuilding Deaths in Sunderland 1830 - 1984. Priced at £4-99 with all proceeds going to Down's Syndrome North East (DSNE).

If anyone is interested please PM me.

Was unsure whether you can advertise a publication for sale on here, contacted the Support team about it but have received no reply. Have posted with the hope that it is OK if not apologies.

Durham / Re: Marriage record for James McKenna and Mary Ann Newton (Sunderland, 1850s?)
« on: Friday 16 June 23 19:11 BST (UK)  »
Not sure if you have this info, but James & Mary Ann were married in Holy Trinity Church, Sunderland.
Unfortunately Sunderland Local Studies is closed until some time in August, where you would have been able to obtain a copy of the marriage.

Possibility it may be staffed for general enquiries you could try contacting them to see if someone could help.

Nottinghamshire / Re: Pte. William Marshall (circa 1871 - 1915) Buried Ryhope Cemetery Sunderland
« on: Friday 31 March 23 20:43 BST (UK)  »
Thanks so much for the info, it does confirm the research I have, the four children mentioned in the Pensions Records are the four youngest, the other four children were George Edward (1894), John (1896) Mary Ann (1898) and William (1900). It does look like the family in 1871 not knowing a parents name made it difficult to pin him down on a census return. Now with his father's name I can delve a little deeper into the family. 

Thanks again

Nottinghamshire / Pte. William Marshall (circa 1871 - 1915) Buried Ryhope Cemetery Sunderland
« on: Friday 31 March 23 19:09 BST (UK)  »
I am researching the war graves in Ryhope Cemetery Sunderland. There is a CWGC headstone for Pte. William Marshall (service no. 25999) of the 3rd Reserve Btn. Sherwood Foresters. His battalion came to the North East as part of the East Coast Defence, sadly William died 28th November 1915 at was when then known as Cherry Knowle Asylum, Ryhope, Co. Durham.
Have struggled to find details about his early life, I have a marriage to Emily Alice Bowring at St. Mark's Anglican Church, Nottingham on the 13th August 1894 and found 8 children from this marriage. But I am a little unsure if this is the correct William Marshall.
Would be grateful for any information regarding William's early life.
When completed the research will be forwarded to the North East War Memorial Project website (www.newmp.org.uk) to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Thanks

Durham / Re: George Watson b. Sunderland 1813 where is he in 1841?
« on: Friday 05 August 22 15:56 BST (UK)  »
Hello

There is a George Watson buried in Bishopwearmouth Cemetery, Sunderland in January 1893. I would have looked it up for you but am unable to visit the Local History Library at this moment.

If you give them a call I am sure they would look it up for you to confirm if it is the George you are looking for (01915618439) or drop them an email (local.historylibrary@sunderland.gov.uk)

The details are: Reel 31. Folio 207. Entry no. 4123. January 1893.

I think they close at 5 today and open tomorrow till lunchtime.

Durham / Re: Sunderland obituary/Funeral notices
« on: Friday 03 December 21 18:23 GMT (UK)  »
I will be going to the Sunderland Local History Library on Monday. If you can send me a personal message with the details of who you are searching for I will take a look and see what I can find.
If you can provide the date of the deaths it would be a good help, if you only have the quarter and year it will take a little longer as the Echo's are not indexed.

Durham / Re: Thomas Proud of Sunderland
« on: Tuesday 31 August 21 20:00 BST (UK)  »
Found possibilities for Elizabeth in the census in 1841 there is an 8 year old Elizabeth Orim with her father John (born 1786) a labourer in Stockton, Co. Durham.

1851 Elizabeth Oran born 1833 a house servant for a farmer at Field House Houghton le Spring, Co. Durham.

Thomas is proving a problem, with the possibility that the 1851 Elizabeth is his mother did check baptisms in Houghton for a Thomas Oram but nothing came of it.

Durham / Re: Thomas Proud of Sunderland
« on: Tuesday 31 August 21 18:15 BST (UK)  »
Had some spare time when I was in Local Studies in Sunderland  today and had a look to see if I could find any information on your Proud family. If you send me your email address in a personal message I would be only too pleased to forward copies of baptism and burial records I came across.

Will briefly run through them:

Burials for John Proud (Farmer) died 1891, his wife Elizabeth (nee Oram) died 1913

Burials for Thomas Proud (Gardener) died 1925, his wife Elizabeth (nee Reed) died 1953

Burial for Isabella Proud (1868 - 1869) daughter of John & Elizabeth Proud (nee Oram)

All buried in Bishopwearmouth Cemetery, Sunderland

Baptisms for the six children of John & Elizabeth all baptised at St. Michael's Church, Bishopwearmouth.

Robert William Proud born 1858
Elizabeth Ann born 1860
Caroline Mary born 1864
Joseph born 1865
Isabella born 1864
James Oram Proud born 1869

John Proud & Elizabeth Oram were married in the June Q 1857 in Sunderland, checking records I have believe this could have taken place in the Register Office.

Checked for a baptism for Thomas either as Proud or as Oram unable to find anything, will have another look at other churches on my next visit. I do feel that Thomas was born Oram and took the name Proud when his mother married John.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Lancashire / Re: Final Resting Place of Bryan John Molloy (1914 - 1948)
« on: Wednesday 25 August 21 20:27 BST (UK)  »
Contacted the bereavement services in Blackpool by email last night and received a reply by 8. 30 this morning. They checked Layton & Carleton Cemeteries as well as Carleton Crematorium but could not find a record for Bryan.

Though no record was found I must say the level of service I received from them was excellent, and it was greatly appreciated.

The search continues, but with Blackpool out of the running where to next ?
