Help! Lost family!
« on: Tuesday 15 February 05 10:12 GMT (UK) »
My great great grandparents married in Scarborough in 1846 and gggrandma is on the 1861 census in South Shields as a widow. All bar the eldest child, Thomas, were born in South Shields - hewas born in Scarborough. I've had help to search in both places on the 1851 but no luck.

Can anyone find them for me???  ;D I'd be sooo grateful!

I have neither of the census years or places.
Even if I did, then I still could not help as you have not given:

Either parent's forename, surname, age
?addresses from any certificates?
names/ages/birthplace of kids.

Can't do anything without those.
