Robert Atkinson and wife Jane

[JenB]

Sorry, but still can't find the death of Jane.

As I said in reply 20 Jane was alive in 1891, but I can't see her at all in 1901.

Therefore you must look for a suitable death for her between those years.

The probability is that she was living with her son in Kimblesworth when she died.

Kimblesworth was in Durham Registration District, so that should be your first port of call  (you can search freeBMD by district as well as by county)

Allow some leeway about her age at death - whoever was the informant might have made a mistake - death certificates are notorious in this respect.

Over to you!

Suitable death--or remarriage.

Robert and Margaret got married 15 dec 1730 at Sunderland.  marriage comes up on family search. Trying to find the church record for this, can any one help please? Believe robert was born in south shields,  but there was three roberts born around the same time and area. would like to find his birth and his parents,  so hoping his marriage details would show who his father was, could possibly be james, edward or robert? Also  looking for parents of Margaret Moulray and her birth, think it could be 1712 and roberts birth around 1703. Think Moulrays came from Bishop wearmouth? Many thanks

On Durham Diocese & Allegations 1692 1900. ref DDR EJ MLA 1 1701 image 125, there is a marriage of John Atkinson & Mary Craistor? in 1701. Could this be the father of Robert? Could any one tell us where this marriage took place and if the names are correct and can any one make out the names of the fathers, who signed at the bottom of the page? Finding the whole document difficult to read, any help much appreciated.

Thank you Rayaco and JenB for your very useful posts re Robert Atkinson and Jane Neal, my 2nd Great Grandmother. I also had difficulties tracing Jane, whose surname I had originally variously as O'Neil, O'Nale and Neil. I have had no joy in finding Jane's mother, not helped by the fact that I can't find Jane or her father John Neal on either the 1841 or 1851 census. Can anyone help please with
- Jane's mother's name and any details ?
- Any details re Jane's father John Neal?
Many thanks
