You would just have to take a chance and buy it to find out who the parents are I'm affraid. There is also one born in South Shields my geography is'nt that good for that part of the country but its clos by I think

jax

yes I have - thereis one that says birth 1871 in Glendale Northumberland but but it doesn't show his parents either

Transcriber could'nt read the squiggly writing

Cannot see them in 1911 only Eleanor I could find was married to a John and I found that marriage too....so not them I will have another look

have you tried searching for his birth on freebmd?

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

This is him I would think. Is Jarrow near Newcastle? (sorry live in Australie) are they in the 1911 census? Eleanor died in 1913. They also had Annie and James (3 children by 1911)
Is there any way of finding a birth certificate for James?
I did see one in Ancestry search - birth 1871 in Glendale Northumberland but it doesn't say who his parents were.

Thanks Kerryn

It looks likely they are his parents although place of birth changes but age stays the same.

I take it his 2nd marriage and death was not in England or Wales? as those details are not on the certs

This could be it!

sorry to be a pain but the George and Jane I am trying to find are my great grandfather. Is there anyway of telling that this was definately them?
I have James first marriage to Eleanor Bates where he listed George and his second marriage to Beatrice where he listed George and Jane. James death certificate doesn't list any parents only he was born in Newcastle England

Can you advise me how i find out if it is the correct person?

Thanks so much

Hi there

I am hoping someone can shed some light onto this couple. I don't know much about them but they had a son James abt 1875 born in Newcastle England. Jame married Eleanor Bates in Liverpool in 1899. George had died by 1927.

Thanks heaps for trying to help me out
