[elaine447]

Sorry I am not used to searching in England 
and wondered if someone could help me
I am working on OH's side of the family
I am looking for his ggrandparents
they are John Lambton and Elizabeth (Sinden)
sometime before 1907, when his grandmother was born ( she is still living)
but a bit to frail to be asking her questions)
I am afraid I dont have anything else to go on except his
grandmothers scottish marriage certificate

Hi

Was she definitely Elizabeth Sinden?  Freebmd has no marriage for those 2 names but there is a 1901 marriage in Newcastle for a John Lambton and there is a Lizzie Snowden on the same page

Marriages March qtr 1901
John Lambton    Newcastle upon Tyne  10b 111   
Lizzie Snowdon and Louisa Canham on same page

Is your husbands grandmother 103 years old?  Now that's impressive

[elaine447]

Thanks CaroleW
sorry I got her birthdate wrong it should have been 1905 and yes she is still living (105)

I think you have found the right marriage
the writing on his grandmothers own  marriage cert is quite hard to read and it looked like Sinden

Elaine
this is the bit of the cert with her parents names on it

[CaroleW]

105 is even more impressive than 103.  She must have led a very healthy life!!

Was she born in Northumberland or Scotland as I am having a problem finding her parents on the 1901 census at the moment

 

[elaine447]

she has always been very healthy up until a few years ago
but I guess at that age you can expect a little illness or two 
She was born in Newcastle upon tyne
but married in Scotland
I am hopeless when it comes to searching the English records
Thankyou very much for the help CaroleW

[CaroleW]

I have sent you a pm which may help

Do you know if she had any older brothers sisters?

[CaroleW]

From info in pm you will find John Lambton aged 1 and his parents on the 1881 census in Northumberland

Parents were John W and Jane A
