I would be ever so grateful if someone with access to 1851 Census for Durham could do a lookup for John Ainsley born c1811 at Lanchester and Ann Ainsley born c1822 at Lumley.  I have the family on subsequent census returns but not the 1851.  John was a coal miner and most of John & Ann's family were born at Witton Gilbert, Co. Durham.  Any help would be very much appreciated.  Many thanks.

I am researching the Schellenberg family and google came up with the following relating to a Johann Gottried Schellenberg who we have on our family tree.  Please can anyone translate.

Johann Gottfried Schellenberg (1810 geb)

De curvarum algebraicarum ramis in infinitum excurrentibus (Dirksen)   9.12.1835

   Very Curious,

         Many thanks

Hi Folks,

I have no relatives to ask for information, so please can anyone come up with ideas as to how I can obtain my grandmother's date of birth.  All the confirmed information I have is that she was born somewhere in Scotland around 1881.  Her father was William Johnson and at some point the family came back to Co. Durham when she was a child.  She married my grandfather Peter Westgarth Wilson in 1901 at Houghton-le-Spring and she died aged 86yrs in 1967.  Her marriage certificate shows that in 1901 her father was deceased, but I don't know whether he died in Scotland or in Co. Durham.  I have done some research on one family, but only 65% certain that I have the right people.  Looking at Scottish Genealogy sites, I have come across a number of  Ann's, Annie's with a father William, but feel that if I could obtain a definite date of birth for her, it would narrow my search considerably and I would know whether or not I am persuing the right family.

I wonder if anyone can help me knock down a brick wall that I have been hitting my head against for the past two or three years.  I have a birth certificate for a Charles Frederick Schellenberg born lst October, 1901 at 12 Cornhill Rd. Southwick, Sunderland.  The mother is given as Eleanor Schellenberg formerly Bulmer, and the father who we believe to be a gt. uncle. also as Charles Frederick Schellenberg, Pork Butcher (journeyman)  The birth was registered by the mother on 2nd December, 1901 whilst living at 25 Richmond Street, Sunderland.  I have checked for a marriage certificate - no luck, I really don't think they were married, I did find Charles Frederick (Snr) on the 1901 census living at Langley Moor, Durham and from snippets of information given by my late father-in-law, he used to call in at their butcher's shop from time to time in the early 20's, but he never mentioned that Charles Frederick had ever married.  Please can anyone help - he just seems to have vanished into thin air - and what happened to Charles Frederick (Jnr)
So curious.
