Hi again, so Ann Davison was the  daughter of Elizabeth Nicholson who married Robert Davison June qtr 1870 Durham.
In 1901 the Mary L Almond aged 0 is aged 7 months and was registered as Mary Louisa Almond Sept qtr 1900 Lanchestsr mmn Nicholson

PS Edward Nicholson Almond aged 12 is at a Grammar School in Scorton Darlington

HI the marriage of Robert Davison was either 20th or 21st 1870 Castleside, the Familysearch result states Elizabeth was a Widow and was of Backstone Bank, Iroolsingham ( Assume Woolsingham )
By Licence both 21 or upwards.
So how can mmn be same as married name, unless a Nicholson married a Nicholson
EDIT Robert of Four Lane Ends occ Brewer.

I wish I had more experience of this to help me understand because it is so confusing.  The 1891 Census shows (for the Horse and Groom) Elizabeth Davison (widow) as head of the household and Annie Nicholson (single) as her daughter and Charles William Almond was a visitor on Census night as were two children both named Nicholson.  How could Elizabeth Davison's unmarried daughter be named Nicholson?

Ann Nicholson married Charles William Almond at Tynemouth in the 4th Quarter of 1898 and their son Edward Nicholson Almond was baptised on 9th March 1899.  It was this Ann Almond who was described as the last in the family line and she inherited all the property.  I have no idea what became of her children but she was about 74 when she sold up the business

  As I said earlier someone is not purchasing Birth/Marriage or Death certificates but is relying on census returns?

I still do not understand how Elizabeth Davison's unmarried daughter could be named Nicholson unless she was adopted and that was her real name or she was illegitimate and the father acknowledged her as his child

Just as a footnote on the possible fate of her son.  There was an Edward Almond who was a publican in nearby Leadgate.  Perhaps she had set him up out of the proceeds of the sale of her pubs.  I know this is not really relevant.

Hi we are still doing this by census remember,  were the Nicholson chidren in 1891 both females/ visitors as 1901 we have:-

Margaret Nicholson 52 Widow
Amongst other siblings
Elizabeth Jane Nicholson 21
Maggie Eleanor/Ellen Nicholson 18
At Manor House Farm, Lanchester
RG13/4672/17/25

PS both appear to be mmn Sanderson.

As I stated earlier please answer replies and not provide a new query?

Also I can locate an Edward N Almond married to a Vera E in St Ives Road, Consett occ Licenced Victualler.

Yes, the first two children you have listed have the same names and ages.

Going back to Annie Nicholson, she was probably illegitimate as she was born in 1865.  Her mother, Elizabeth Nicholson, did not marry Robert Davison until 1870.  I assume he did not acknowledge her as his daughter or he would have changed her name.

  So the 1870 marriage certificate will provide the father and possible witnesses of Elizabeth Nicholson?
The two girls were Elizabeth J and Maggie E in 1891 mmn Sanderson Margaret Sanderson looks to have married a John Nicholson 11th May 1867 Thornley ( Near Tow-Law ) Fathers Edward Nicholson John Sanderson

Hi I live in Castleside consett and this thread relates to the Horse and Groom pub at the four lane ends as it was first known-it appears it was a pub from about 1710 and also blacksmiths-I am researching the pub rather than the family
