Hi Al,

oops, I had to rewrite this when I finally saw the "(me)" in your first post!

Ordinarily it's advised (in fact, it is a rule) not to put personal info (names, locations) about living people on the boards here.

You can edit that post to remove the info about your other family members. I might just say something like "James and Isabella Willison are my grandparents".

Since you have now added the minimum 3 posts, you can send it to cranstone privately. It sounds like you're family of cranstone's friend, so hopefully you will be in touch.

cranstone -- glad you found all of Sandra's other info, eventually!

1881 census

Henry Murrow    Yarrow 52 (corrected by an Ancestry user)
Henrietta Murrow    18
Edwin Murrow    16

Widower, Farmer, Cullercoats Farm, Tynemouth
born Wolf Hall, Northumberland, England

1861 in same place

Henry Ogle Yarrow    32    Head
Mary Henderson Yarrow    29    Wife
Hannah Yarrow    8    Daughter
Lancelot Hedley Yarrow    5    Son
Isabella Yarrow    3    Daughter
Willm Yarrow    1    Son

1891 in Wallend

Henry Yarrow    51    Head
Thomas Yarrow    4    Son

If there had been a daughter Annie, she might have been with him.
EDIT -- no, that Henry is a decade+ too young.
No ... widower, gardener, born Wolf Hill. Looks like him, getting younger as he got older, as people then were wont to do.
Son Thomas born Earsdon.


I've kind of forgotten what the question was 10 years ago.

The fact that Henry O's eldest daughter was Hannah would match with this baptism:

Name:    Henry Yarrow
Baptism Date:    18 Apr 1824
Baptism Place:    St. Andrew's, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland, England
Father:    Henry Yarrow
>> Mother:    Hannah

1841 not with family

Henry Yarrow   
1826 Durham, England   
Aycliffe, Aycliffe, Durham, England

His father in 1841?
(Note that your Henry had children Isabella and Lancelot)

Henry Yarow    80 farmer
Robert Hedley    25
Isabella Hedley    20 (probably Isabella Yarrow, daughter?)
Lancelot Hedley    15
Iwand Hedley    15
Henry Hedley 10

The 1897 Henry Ogle Yarrow marriage in Tynemouth is to either Elizabeth Elsey or Elizabeth Maxwell.

Her birth surname was Leybourne?

Marriages Sep 1873 
Evans    Mary Frances        Durham    10a   570    
? LEYBOURNE    Elizabeth         Durham    10a   570    
? Maxwell    Ralph         Durham    10a   570    
MULHOLLAND    Paul         Durham    10a   570

My suspicion might be that Henry and Elizabeth married when they were both free to, i.e. when her husband Mr Maxwell had died. His name is fairly common so it would mean checking censuses for his age, and so on, but this might be a candidate:

MAXWELL, ROBERT        age: 53 
GRO Reference: 1893  D Quarter in NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE  Volume 10B  Page 33

Do note that ansteynomad initially said:

"George Aucott's 'wife' Charlotte"

I don't think anyone is alleging a marriage.

... Oh oops, I seem to have made that assumption back in 2013. Don't tell me I'm the source of the entire confusion! (I thought ansteynomad was speaking from knowledge of Charlotte, but you may have been just quoting my old post.)

I think the "sister" hypothesis makes sense, maybe especially because in 1870 both George and Charlotte are shown as widowed. (I suspect this more specific info, i.e. on the 1870 image, wasn't available or was behind a paywall back in 2013.)

I'm irrelevant here, but what I'm not seeing is the baptism of sister Charlotte Aucott. She has a grave, though, and the info given there ties her in as sister:

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/147627042/charlotte-aucott

So then it would out that you two actually are related, sharing the parents of George and Charlotte as your mutual ancestors!

Hi you guys,

I'm not connected and don't remember any of this, all these years later

but I think the reference is to the one I posted about above:

George Aucott c1819/1821 from 1850 census onward,
with wife Ann c1817 England
then wife Charlotte c1811 England,
son Thomas c1843 born England, other children born Pennsylvania

BTW, one never knows where these second spouses and such might lead one.

Some years ago, I was contacted via Ancestry by someone whose grx4 grandmother was also my grx4 grandmother, me from the first husband and she, as she had found out, from the second husband. She had found an "Aunt Hxx" in one of her family's households in the mid-1800s, thought Now who the heck is that? and traced her up and back down the trees, i.e. discovering she came from a second husband and delving into the family of the first husband, and lighted on my correction to the name of my great-grandmother, the great-granddaughter of what turned out to be our shared grx4 grandmother born in the late 1700s.

Not too out of the ordinary -- until the distant cousin in question, who was on site and had access to  Canterbury records years before they became available to the likes of me in Canada online, pursued those investigations and before long had advised me that I am the second cousin four times removed of a particularly eminent Viscount, whom I knew well from my law studies in Canada. My avatar image depicts the five women who took their appeal calling for the recognition of women as "persons" for the purposes of appointment to the Senate all the way to the House of Lords, where my cousin allowed the appeal and in so doing penned one of the most influential of Canadian constitutional decisions. Thank goodness he was a Labour life peer.

In tracking relations of relations, I also discovered (again, thanks to someone who came across my online name corrections, sharing info I would never have found or figured out) that I am related ... by marriage ... to the leaders of Ireland's 1916 Easter Rising.

So ya never know what treasures such distant cousins may bear.
