George Miller

[tdgower2]

Hi there

I'm trying to find out where my 6x Great Grandfather was born.
His name was George Miller. He was born around 1785 and married a Sarah Howe in 1816 in Heworth, County Durham. They had children in the 1820's and then they are shown in the 1841 census living in Jarrow. He is listed as a Quarry man.
I think it's a No next to whether born in county, but I'm not sure. Sarah underneath is more of a No and she was born in Allendale, Northumberland.
I haven't been able to find a burial so far, this would help with an accurate birth year.
I hope someone has a bit more luck in finding him.

Thanks in advance, Tom

Hi Tom

Have you got Sarah in 1851 to see if she is described as a widow?  That would help narrow down when George died.

[tdgower2]

Yes sorry she is shown as widowed in 1851,
She is listed as a Miner's widow living at 49, Temple Town, Westoe, South Shields.
Her Son, Timothy, is living next door at 48.
I've looked for a death record but haven't been able to find the right age/place.

I was just looking at a tree and they have his death as Mar 1841 but I don't think that can be right as

he is on the 1841 census and
the death registration for Mar 1841 was aged 14

his real death is elusive.

Thanks Ladyhawk.

That's the wrong Sarah Howe as she was born in Allendale in 1795.
Could be the right George but not sure.

I looked on Durham records and there is a death in South Shields in 1841 for a George born in 1784. This could be the one. Don't know if anyone can access it or do you have to pay?

I think I have found his burial.

Ordered the death record of George Miller in 1841 in Co. Durham on Durham Records. He is listed as aged 57 at death in around September 1841. This would put his dob as 1783/4
He is buried in St Paul, Jarrow and is living in Hebburn. Still not sure where he was born but i guess it will probably be Co. Durham/Northumberland.

Is there a death registration? Struggling to see one!

Witnesses William Howe and Esther Miller.
Maybe Esther can help?

Thankyou jonw65.
The burial I found is on Durham Records online, it isn't on Findmypast/Freebmd.
There is an Esther Miller born in 1802 in Newcastle. Maybe this is her
