This is wonderful to hear that the marriage information has been helpful.
Unfortunately, I missed seeing the above posts and I have been at Tyne and Wear Archives today.
I am on a run of nightshifts starting tomorrow night.
Never mind, in a week or two I should be able to return and I will check workhouse records to see if there is more information. Sometimes these records show who accompanied them when they were signed in and where they came from, etc. My own Great Grandfather had a sister who was signed in to the work house hospital part after she was attacked by a man and seriously injured. The records show that her daughter signed her in and her daughter's address is given and the fact that this ancestor who was signed in was a widow, also who her husband was and his occupation and that she kept her own clothes rather than work house ones. The records also record that she was taken out by a policeman (for the court case). Records will also record of innate died. So these workhouse records can show information of interest.
The archives are going to be closed for some of June as apparently the Blue Peter time capsule and the 'Rocket' of George Stephenson fame is coming to the museum - so we will all have to check their website before visiting to make sure of opening.
I just have to break off for a bit but will be posting on here again soon about some other discoveries today.
