Hi

I wonder if anybody can help me be sure that I am on the right track and be fairly sure that these individuals are born by the same mother and father

Mary Anne Marsh Baptised 24 May 1835 at Bishop-Wearmouth, Durham born to  Sarah Marsh and  Elias Marsh Born?

I am tempted to take it that Mary was a sister Robert Marsh b.1841 but am not sure as data was from seperate sources.
Robert on this thread and Mary via Family Search Parish list.
I found something that stated the father's birthplace was  Trewhitts Buildings
 Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C01825-7  Film Number: 1514544 Ref No: item 1 p 376
can anybody please inform me as to where these might be, and if any  history has been published about them concerning the time  Trewhitts Buildings were inhabited in the 19th/20th C.?

Also if Sarah Lipscomb b. 1866 at Maidenhead, is related to Emma Eliza Lipscombe b.1851 at Saint Pancras, Regents Park ?

Trewhitt's Buildings were in South Johnson Street, Bishopwearmouth, Sunderland http://www.durham-images.org/public/ms/m21/m21sc4.html

In the 1861 Census there are numbers 1 to 7 in Trewhitt's Buildings (wrongly transcribed as Tanshith in FindMyPast) RG 9; Piece: 3766; Folio: 78; Page: 62

Wow Stan...... how on earth did you manage to find Trewhitt's as Tanshith??       One very large pat on the back needed there I think

I am really impressed as well.
It seemed that I looked everywhere. Obviously not

[stanmapstone]

I did not look or Trewhitt's Buildings  I looked for Johnson Street as the Ward's Northumberland & Durham Directory, 1850, has Trewhitt's Buildings in Johnson Street.

Well found whichever way....

No relation, but, I have a new term to go with 'the scatter gun approach'.
How's this for grist t' mill?
