I am searching for my John William Calvert on the Census and BMD lists. I now have a copy of John William Calverts wedding Cert. It reads the following The Parish Church in the Parish of Loftus 3/05/1902 - John William Calvert - 28 - Miner - Loftus - Father John Calvert (Deceased) - Rolleyman. Married Louisa Calvert - 24 - Loftus - Father Ralph Calvert - Groom. I have details on Louisa's family going back to 1600, but am still stuck with the John's, I have no other details of them other than John jnr was a Iron Stone Miner, He died 1942 at Hinderwell and burried in a unmarked grave. in 1916 when my Granddad was born John Wiliam lived at 13 Street Houses Loftus and in 1940 lived at 35 The Green - Dormanstown. If anyone can help me trace Johns fathers family i would be over the moon. Regards Neil

hi, just looked up where loftus is ,this is what genuki says, LOFTUS, (earlier was Lofthouse - beware the Lofthouse in WRY though!) a parish in the wapentake and liberty of Langbargh; 9 miles ENE. of Guisborough; bounded on the north by the German ocean. It is a pleasant village, forming one continued street, or line of buildings, principally of stone; the neighbourhood abounding with stone and alum rock. The village is chiefly dependent upon the alum works here. so how about this one, in 1901 John W Calvert Age: 18 Estimated birth year: abt 1883 Relation: Boarder Gender: Male Where born: Guisborough, Yorkshire, England Civil parish: Weetslade Ecclesiastical parish: Killingworth St John Town: Annitsford County/Island: Northumberland Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Tynemouth Sub-registration district: Longbenton ED, institution, or vessel: 19 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 168 Household Members: Name Age John W Calvert 18 Thomas S Calvert 12 Alice Johnson 4 Mo Isabella Johnson 21 John Johnson 26 John Johnson he is a coal miner,
