The Common Room / Re: Re Ancestry ?
« on: Friday 26 February 21 09:37 GMT (UK) »
It'll be a while before Ancestry have the 1921 census as FindMyPast have exclusive right for a period of time.
There's several threads on here about half price Ancestry subs.

Durham / Re: Durham local Registrar- do their certs have photocopies of original register?

Boo i'm not sure if you've already had this answered but they only issue marriages as scanned copies, births and deaths are typed.

Durham / Re: What's her place of birth - 1851 census
« on: Thursday 11 February 21 16:24 GMT (UK) »Not even Durham Records Online have been able to suggest what it might be, and they are usually pretty good!
I noticed that too Jen.
I'm wondering if it could be Hetton?
Whilst she'd be slightly older, I have a Mary Walton daughter of Thomas and Isabella (nee Shields) born 16/07/1844 at Brick Garth, Hetton le Hole. I haven't been able to find her on any census or a possible marriage or death.

« on: Thursday 11 February 21 16:03 GMT (UK) »Thanks for looking Jen, it's got me completely stumped!
There's a Mary Walton aged 4 born Berry Edge daughter of John & Mary in Alston on the 1851 census which I think must be the same one as the baptism you have found.
The one I found mother’s name is Elizabeth
I've just doubled checked it, my typo it is Elizabeth on the census not Mary.

Durham / Re: What's her place of birth - 1851 census
« on: Thursday 11 February 21 16:02 GMT (UK) »I have a Berry Edge birth in one of my lines. The father was working there, albeit originally from Cumberland.
You can read a bit about it at: https://englandsnortheast.co.uk/north-durham/Quote. The new, populous town that sprung up to serve the ironworks was not initially called Consett and is marked on the 1850s map as ‘Berry Edge’. It was likely named from Berry Edge Farm, about a mile to the north and this farm is still there today on the west side of the Medomsley Road near the Number One Industrial Estate.
In the 1850s Berry Edge or Consett as it would become, was described as “a rising village…densely populated by the workmen employed in the neighbouring iron-works
and https://consettmagazine.com/2014/12/03/consett-or-berry-edge-in-brief-62649/
Thanks for the link, i'll have a read later.

Durham / Re: What's her place of birth - 1851 census
« on: Thursday 11 February 21 16:01 GMT (UK) »Can you find her on the next census age 15 to see if that helps?
I can't find any likely candidates on later census.
