Find Ancestors

Hit a brick wall with my Glass family, gone back to James(1801) who had 6 children, Margaret(1821) Isabella(1826) Thomas(1829) Mary(1831) Jane(1837) and my Gt.Gt.Gran Hannah(1836 they were all born Tweedmouth,berwick upon Tweed,northumberland. I have some info on Margaret and Jane but the trail has gone cold with the others. Hannah had a illigitimate son in 1859 but after 1861 I loose track of her. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Just for info and to place them:

Jeanette, this is the only record I can see for Hannah! Can you put 1861 details please?
Also, do you have any marriages for them?
I wonder if this is Isabella?

One or two in 1851. I see your problem, they are very elusive (I was going to say a real pain but such an obvious joke is beneath me of course!)

Jane is recorded as visitor rather than daughter, might be an error.

Do you know what happened to the illegitimate child? Any chance he is with her after 1861?
Jan

Hi All,
thannk you, I agree with you the Glasses are a pane/pain.
Yes Jan the Glasses you have listed in 1841 census Father James and Mother Margaret are my family.
Living in the same street ,same time are another Glass family Mother Ann(1791) widowed and children Mary,George and Alexander.
Also in the 1851 census living nearby yet another Glass family, parents John and Isabella, children Mary Ann,Isabella M and Ann . Prob Isabella M. is the marriage you found.
I feel sure all these familys must be connected but cant find out how.

In reply to your other questions Hannah is listed in the 1861 census as a servant at West Newbiggin Farm, Norham,Berwick then I loose track of her.
Her illigitimate son James Glass(1859-1899) married Ann Matthewson and had 2 children Daniel and my Gran Jane Marshall Glass (1892-1923) . My Gran died young my Mother was adopted and this is where the trail ends. I feel sure there must be Glasses out there who are related to me, but where?
Out of the 6 children Margaret and James had I have been able to find out that Margaret remained unmarried. Jane married a Daniel Marshall and moved to Newcastle and had 5 children. But I cant trace the others. Hope I have explained properly. I would love to find out what happened to Hannah(1836) in particular. Also Isabella(1826) Thomas(1829) and Mary(1831) ny help most appreciated

Have you considered the possibility that one or more of them moved to Scotland? It's so close to the border, you never know.
Jan

Thanks Jan, to get that info would I have to join a Scottish site?

I think you have to use a site called Scotland's people - which is pay per view. As far as I know they do not have an equivalent of freebmd. Will do a thread just to check - don't go away!
Jan

Reply from Glitterbaby:

Civil registration began in Scotland in 1855.

Scotlandspeople will go up to 1908 for births - 100 year closure - but it will give you the details for later births - certs will be £10.

Family search is quite good

Scotlandspeople do have Old Parish Registers for BMd's 1538 to 1854

I'd give it a go!

Jan

Jeanette, pop over to Records Office and check out my thread "Scottish Research?".
Jan

Thanks Jan will do as suggested and see if I can find the elusive Glasses. Would be great if I could trace some of Mams family, bless her she didnt know any of them. Really appreciate your help

Thanks to Glitter Babe, yes this is my James Glass.
Thanks too to Astra, the James Glass aged 2 is my Gt.Grandad but in fact his Mother was Hannah Glass who had him out of wedlock, after 1861 I loose track of Hannah.
Grateful for all help,
jeanette

Forgot to mention I have James Glass 1859-1899 birth cert which gives Hannah as his Mother so at least I have been able to establish that

There is a death of a Hannah Glass on Scotlands People

1 1893 GLASS HANNAH WIGHT F 56 KELSO /ROXBURGH 793/00 0080 VIEW (5 CREDITS) ORDER

the age is about right and the death is just over the border may be worth looking into

Jackie thank you,I will certainly look into this.
