Find Ancestors

Samspade, I think you have cracked it. Anything on Charles Powley's parents and family in the census's?

Oh well done Sam!! I will delete my posting with the father Ernest.

Happy.

I was born in Middlesbrough which was in Yorkshire till late 1960s. Then Teesside then Cleveland.

Port Clarence was a very small community reached from Middlesbrough by the Transporter Bridge

Port Clarence would have been in Durham at that time. Middlesbrough was Yorkshire and if you crossed the River Tees you were on County Durham.
Stockton was Durham
Google and you will see the bridge which featured in the movie Billy Elliot and the tv hit Auf Wiedersehen Pet.

To find bmds for the area use Teesvalley indexes. It gives names of spouse not just possible . It also has deaths but not sure how complete.

The site is free

I am going to have to leave you lot to it as I have'nt fed my chickens yet!!!!!!!! and then have to go shopping. Will come back later and have a look to see how you have got on.

Not sure of DOB for Charles (my grandad, I will have to check with my mum later - Mary) 1904 looks probable mind bearing in mind the years of Mary and Catherine's births. Also if any help he died around 1968/9.

Good luck,best wishes with your research.....Sam
