William Curtis - Norfolk to Durham - COMPLETE THANKS!
« on: Saturday 17 July 10 19:29 BST (UK) »
My wife's gggf, William Curtis, was apparently born in Norfolk; his son George (ggf) was born in Sunderland.  I have no birth dates although George was married in 1912.

I have found - on the 1881 census - a Norfolk Curtis family in Durham that may match:

William Curtis b Norton Subcourse 1817
Ann Curtis b Bristow 1821
Charles Curtis b Cramlington, Northumberland 1861

Would anyone with an Ancestry/FindMyPast subscription have a look on an earlier (or later; although less likely due to Ann's DOB) census to see if this family have a son called George?

Thanks in advance,

stuartroxy

Trevor,

Thanks very much.  I've got a load of info from the Northumberland thread so, to avoid confusion, I am going to finish this thread.
