Durham / What's her place of birth - 1851 census
« on: Thursday 11 February 21 12:28 GMT (UK)  »
5 year old Mary Walton is living with her aunt and Uncle, James and Mary Parker (nee Walton) at Berry Edge, Lanchester.

I can't make out her place of birth, Ancestry have transcribed it as Hutnabridge but 'bridge' relates to the person below Mary who was born at Corbridge.

I'm trying to work out who Mary's parents were but not getting very far without her place of birth.

Edit to add census ref - piece 2389 folio 322

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Death/Burial of William Jones approx 1806-1811
« on: Monday 18 January 21 18:21 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone find a burial of William Jones around 1806-1811.

His wife Sarah was buried at Great Driffield in 1806.  The PR entry reads - Sarah Jones, wife of William Jones, flex dresser of Driffield, aged 77, buried 30/5/1806.

There are several notices in the Hull Advertiser & Exchange Gazette in 1807 and 1808 that refer to William Jones of Driffield a flax dresser.

There is a notice in the Hull Packet 19/11/1811 that refers to the late William Jones of Driffield.

I can't seem to find a possible burial for him between 1806 and 1811.

Thanks

Durham Lookup Requests / Martha Gibbons born ca 1789 Evenwood
« on: Monday 06 July 20 16:16 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone find a possible baptism for her?

She married James Cuthbertson/Culbertson at Houghton le Spring in 1808.

According to the baptisms of their daughter and son in 1809 and 1812 Martha was from Evenwood.

She should be baptised at St Helen Auckland since Evenwood church wasn't built until a much later date.

The only things I have been able to come up with are Martha daughter of George Lane of Evenwood bapt 21/05/1789 and Matthew son of Thomas Gibbon of Bildershaw bapt 04/01/1789.

Those are both from the BT's, i'm not sure if Matthew should in fact read Martha daughter of Thomas.

Cheers
Jay
