Hi Gwen,i dont think this will help you much but i found this.
1841 census for Spittal St Andrews Northumberland
John Bainbridge head age 40 coalminer
Mary wife age 45
Ralph son age 20 coalminer
Samuel son age 15
John son age 10
Mary Daughter age 10
George son age 5
Mary Wilson this didnt give her relation to the family,she was 75.
1851 Census for Benwell Scotswood
John Bainbridge Labourer head age ? it had his birth place as something Durham
Mary wife 56 born Scotswood
John son age 24 born Scotswood
William son age 20 born Scotswood. Brickmaker.
I checked the 1861 and 1871 census for both John and Mary but found nothing for Northumberland.I did find a Ralph Bainbridge married with his wife Mary and 3 children but i dont know if this could be your Johns son,although the age was right.
Anyway hope this helps a bit.Anne.
