Durham / Mackel Hoffman Knaak in Sunderland
« on: Wednesday 19 October 16 20:21 BST (UK) »
Bit of a puzzler 
I have Conrad Meckel (Mackel) age 24 marrying Margaret Hoffman spinster age 18 daughter of Jacob Hoffman in September 1857 in Holy Trinty Sunderland.
No trace of either Conrad or Margaret in 1861 census. Can't find any death for Conrad.
In August 1866 Margaret Hoffman spinster age 26 daughter of Jacob marries Frederick Knaak in St Peters church Monkwearmouth.
I am sure it is the same Margaret as her brother was witness at the 1st marriage and her sister witness at the second. Can't find another Hoffman family in Sunderland.
Could the first marriage have been annulled? Maybe Conrad went back to Germany and left her?
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for all the above help. I have the baptism of eldest child Margaret in August 1827. As we have all found out this doesn't mean the parents were married prior to this date. Also possible maiden name for Mary could be Dodds but only from other trees and I have no proof. Will need to request a birth certificate as Boo suggests. Can't believe I didn't think of that!

Hello Gail
I don't know if you are still researching your family but I have recently done a lot of work on my Mackel side of the family. Mary Ann Mackel 1894 was one of 9 children. It is a very large family. Let me know what further info you need.

Thanks for all your info. I was hoping to visit Berwick but haven't managed to make it this year. The info I am looking for is a marriage for Robert Kennedy c 1801 to Mary ?? c 1808. They both lived in Etal / Ford and their first child Margaret was baptised Etal Presbyterian 10 Aug 1827. They had a total of 11 children and have found other baptisms / marriages at Etal Presbyterian. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for a prompt reply Jen. I have seen some records at Northumberland but they were mainly minutes from church meetings. On my visit to Berwick the lady there told me they had nothing! Maybe I should try again with your reference but it is a long journey. Attempts to email them were no good as they didn't reply. I am looking for a possible marriage in 1820's??
Thanks Boo will have a look at that.

Thanks Boo will have a look at that.

Can anyone help with the whereabouts of records from Etal Presbyterian Church. I have tried Berwick archives, Northumberland archives and Newcastle library. I asked at the visitor centre Ford /Etal and was told the church is now used as a visitor centre for Etal Castle. A small step forward but no records held there.
Here's hoping someone out there can help

Hi Clarrie I do hope you are still active. l am new to this site but have just seen your post! I too am related to John Patterson and Bridget Gildea through their son Peter. Have been searching for ages for further information. I had found the baptisms of the girls and Peter but not for Patrick. The info about Owen was new to me but have now found his birth and death. Have you got any further with investigations in Ireland? I believe John came to England about 1846 leaving Bridget and the children then returned for her at a later date. Maybe to find work or somewhere to live. Would be interesting to know how many other Pattersons in Robinson Lane were related. Look forward to exchanging info with you.
