Durham 1871 Census
« on: Monday 05 July 04 06:12 BST (UK) »
I would love to hear from someone who can access the 1871 census for Durham
My GGrandfather Henry Hamilton Douglas as I am told was a midshipman from Manhatton New york. Unproven. He jumped ship in Durham England date unknown. Can not even be sure he has arrived in Durham before the census

What I know for sure is that he married Aug 1872 at the Jarrow Parrish Church Durham. The cert lists him a railway porter 20 years His wife Jane Woodruff is 18. Her father is William. I cannot read his occupation unfortunately. Both were residents of Jarrow at that time. One of the witnesses was Ann Woodruff. I believe her mother was Ann and they were from sedgefield or Heworth. (would have to say also unproven) I would love census information on these people. Hope somebody can please help?

Thank You for taking the time to have a look. I think Jane was from Sedgefield or Heworth. I have another posting for her in 1851 and 1861 with no success. I realize that without address or ref numbers it is so difficult to find people unless you have access to name indexed census of course. The marriage of Henry and Jane was near 18months after the census so really no reason to believe they were in Jarrow so long prior to marriage. I was just hoping. It would have been nice to find them. Very nice of you to have a look for me. Thank You.
