Hi Sharon,

The family are listed on the 1861 and 1871 census as living in Backworth, Northumberland. Haven't found them in 1881 yet, although in 1871 all the children have left home, so you may find them listed with family elsewhere.

Nad

If you purchase Hannah's marriage cert, her father's name will be recorded (if known).........

wow thanks for everyones help

will look and follow through


could anyone find the marriage so i would know Elizabeths maiden name

Hannah being the niece.. Atkinson?


its hannah i really interested in as she is my great great grandmother and i know her father is thomas

but can not find the family in gosforth at all




thanks again

It might have helped if you'd told us before what Hannah's father's name was!!

What was his occupation?

Have you tried looking for the pre-1837 marriages on the IGI?

yes nothing as i have found

balks didnt feature when i tried

sorry new to this

on mariage certificate it says pitman

Sharon,

If you're sure about the details of Hannah's marriage, I think Eric's right, your best bet would be to order her marriage cert to get her parents details.

I think I missed a post or two - am a bit behind!!

have her wedding certificate just father Thomas pitman

no witness with names of either family


she maried Thomas Fletcher who in the census is from Jarrow b. 1832 but i can not find him either
before 1861 census he was miner also
