Thanks for your reply. This not my branch of the Hunnam family. Arthur Hunnam, the son of George and Grace Hunnam went to South Africa and married my great grandmother.
His grandfather was George Hunnam born in Murton in 1780 who married Jane Heaviside.
Thanks

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Re: What happened to Alicia Tatlow (nee Elliott)

Thanks but checked that out to no avail. There was even a possible closer match with an Alicia Tatlow dying in London in 1852 but not the right one.

I don't have a copy of the marriage certificate - only a transcription which doesn't give his status.

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / What happened to Alicia Tatlow (nee Elliott)
« on: Monday 24 October 16 21:23 BST (UK)  »
The facts I have about Alicia are:

Born abt 1824 in Lancashire (parents Arthur Elliott and Elizabeth Matthews)
Married William Tatlow 12 Nov 1843 at Christ Church Chapel, Every Street, Manchester
Had daughter Emily 25 Dec 1845 in Sheffield
Had son Joseph 18 April 1851 at Brighton Terrace, Pitsmoor, Sheffield (my great grandfather)

There the story of Alicia ends. She is not mentioned in the 1851 census taken 3 weeks before Joseph was born, but William and Emily are mentioned in that census as staying with the Truswells at Newark in Nottinghamshire.

William and a Matilda Louisa Henn then start having 6 children beginning with Frances Marian in 1858 in Birmingham. William and Matilda marry in Kings Norton, Worcestershire  in 1866.

So what happened to Alicia? I cannot find any mention of her after Joseph’s birth and I cannot find a death record for her. In his autobiography “Fifty Years of Railway Life in England, Scotland and Ireland” Joseph does not mention his mother Alicia! Did she perhaps die giving birth to Joseph?

Any thoughts or answers would be very welcome.

That is fantastic thank you.
Yes John Heaviside was Jane Heaviside (Hunnam)'s father. i have a copy of John's will.
George had a called John whose occupation is carrier in 1841 census. I cannot find any thing else about him.
The eldest daughter was Elizabeth Heaviside Hunnam who married George Batty, and Mary Ann was the third daughter who married Paul Batty. The other son George was a painter and Glazier (he was my forebear)
I have never found birth records for any of George senior's children, but have marriage details for them
I have also found that George senior and his Grandson William Skipsey Hunnam both died in March 1863.
Iwill persue the other websites
many thanks

Thanks for your reply. He did die in Scotland but I have never been able to find a death entry for him.  He was in the 1881 census so it was after that. I have a birth from Scotlands people but the mother is given as Agnes Wood so have no idea what her maiden name was.

Berwickshire / Alexander Wood
« on: Friday 07 October 16 22:21 BST (UK)  »
I believe that my great great grandfather Alexander Wood was the son of George and Agnes Wood. The 1851, 1861,1871 and 1881 census state his birthplace as Langton, Berwickshire. I have found a birth transcript and birth entry for him but these give his birth as 1819 and the census documents give his age as being related to being born in 1817-1818. I can only find one Alexander Wood born in Langton around that time.
Alexander was married to Helen Thomson in 1847 and I have all subsequent information since then.
Does anyone have information on the Wood family?
Many thanks
Margaret

Durham / george hunnam
« on: Friday 07 October 16 04:39 BST (UK)  »
My great great great grandfather was  George Hunnam, a master mariner who was born in Murton and married married Jane Heaviside in 1804 at St Hildas in Durham.

I have found a baptism entry in the Durham Diocese bishops transcripts stating he was baptised 4/7/1780 and his father is named as George, a hynd in Murton. The 1851 and 1861 census states he was born in Murton

The transcripts taken from the "England births and Christenings" state that he was baptised in Tynemouth 4/7/1780 and his parents were William Hunnam and Mary Skipsy.
His grandson was named William Skipsy Hunnam which seems too much of a coincidence.

I have never been able to find parish records for any of George and Jane's children and have only the census records to gauge their ages. they all lived in the North Shields area.

Does anyone know anything about this family? I do have all the details and most of the records for his grandchildren and subsequent generations.
Many thanks
Margaret
