Can't find Susan on the 1871 - her marriage cert will give her father's name.

This looks like the baptism of her daughter Agnes:

This family is partly on the same page as Susan in 1871 - living next door but one:

Looks like the family in 1861, although Susan/na's age is out - it is definitely 9 on the image but possibly mistranscribed by the enumerator?

1841 - this is a bit confusing as the "Mrs Charles O'Neill" is Charles O'Neill Junior on the image. These are all shown as one household:

Potty Can you list the names of the Waterson's (1851) living next to the O'Niells..this is getting more confusing as we go along !! and I dont have 1851 Census to cross ref with..
Many Thanks...

Here you are, Erin:

Jane Waterson 8 b Cumberland, Lazonby
Owen Waterson 6 b Cumberland, Kirk Clinton
Mary Waterson 4 b Durham Bery? Edge
Bridget Waterson 3 MO b Durham, Wolsingham.

It does look as if there were two Charles and Bridget O'Neills.

I think Samantha needs to get Susan's marriage cert. The address might give clue!

Many thanks for that Potty...if the family is correct then Catherine aged abt 71 is living
Consett Harvey St. ( ? Workhouse).

Waterson Catherine.W.71 years.b.Ireland....Rag collector.

There were a good few O'Neils (Charlie) and Brids (Waterson) living around the Easington Lane area...

This lot must be giving Sami an almighty headache..!!
