I think I have found him in the 1891 census at the age of 30 still living in the same area, spelling again is different.

Thank you both. I have three census, 1881 living as you say as a boarder with Frank family aged 21, the 1901 census age seems odd as the 1911 census shows him as 48 and Margaret 32. It is the same person although spellings of surname slightly out. I have all the children's names. I will take your advice and order the marriage cert to see if that could help.

Lanarkshire / William Michael Connelly

Hi I have hit a brick wall with a ggg grandfather. His name is William Michael Connelly. I have very limited information on him. From a census in 1911 I found he was born in Partick in circa 1861. He had Irish parentage. He moved to Sunderland around 1881. He married Margaret Turley in Sunderland in 1896. He died in 1912 father of 7. I am trying to find his parents, where do I start when I have no details of them. I have found a family living in Govan at this time with a slight change in the spelling of the surname Connolly. Father Peter and Margaret, mother with two daughters. But nothing to confirm this.
Thank you

Thank you so much.I knew about John Robert as he was my grandfather but just presumed he had left home to work. That makes sense as why he came to South Hylton. Thomas Heatherington was related too so that links in with Alfred. Didnt know about Fred. Oh this is great news thank you so much!

Very kind regards

Durham / Forster family Beamish
« on: Wednesday 14 August 13 20:08 BST (UK)  »
I have posted a couple of years ago regarding this family. Unfortunately I am no further forward. I have literally hit a brick wall and dont know where to go next.
I am looking for any information anyone can give me on my grandfathers three brothers.
My grandfather was John Robert Forster, born in Beamish in 1891. He was the eldest son of Thomas Forster 1860 and Mary E Thompson 1870-1902. My grandfathers brothers were Thomas (Heatherington) Forster, bn 1894, Frederick born 1896 and Alfred born 1899. All boys were born in Beamish and I have found them living with their parents in the 1901 census. Family were living in Gateshead then. However due to the common surname and first names I cannot find trace of them any further.
As I say any help would be gratefully received.
