1901 Census ORMSTON in Jarrow
« on: Friday 12 October 12 21:39 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone, I'm researching my Ormston relatives. I've been scratching my head over my great grandparents Robert Ormston & Ada Hannah Ormston (Richardson is her maiden name).

They had 5 sons Wilfred, Roy, Victor, Kenneth & one more Melville who sadly died as an infant. I never met any of them but I know that Wilfred (before early death in 1974) and Ken were classical singers and regularly performed around the North East.

Robert & Ada married in 1912 in Newcastle and lived in South Shields.

Robert was born in 1891 in Jarrow/Co. Durham area. His mother was Jane Ormston but I don't know her maiden name or husband's name.

Anybody recognise any of these people? Can anyone help/shed some light on Robert Ormston's parents?

Thanks!

Or maybe this one?

Reference RG13, Piece 4742, Folio 48, Page 30
101 Weston Road, Jarrow

The birth certificate or marriage certificate would give Robert's father's name?

I think it must be the 1st one, I know that he was definitely born in 1891 so he would have been 9 or 10 at the time of the 1901 Census. Thanks for the tip with the birth cert. :)

That's why it is essential to get the birth certificate!

Just to check Robert's parents.

I presume this is his birth?

There are now three threads about this family.  I will lock this one. Please add further replies to
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,619375.msg4679431.html#msg4679431

Merging them would be too complicated.

Mrjamieo - as a newcomer you will not realise that more than one thread causes difficulties.  It is best avoided.
