Find Ancestors

Have just remembered - reference children - apparently according to my dad between Jane Alderson/Toft and James Tulip they had a large amount of children and had to find a house big enough to accommodate the two families. So the children born in 1912 & 14 could have been the first or last of many to Jane. Also family rumour that she was his housekeeper possibly after his wife died. Joanna

I have the marriage cert for James Tulip and yes it does just indicate one other married name. I have just checked on the County Durham registrar site, they normally list all other married names and there is only Toft and Alderson for Jane. Joanna

That's sad Joanna. Do you have the marriage cert to Mr Tulip ? Does it suggest that Jane was only married the once to Mr Toft. I can't find her on the 1901 census bit have found her mum and dad and sister Charlotte, Joan

Sorry got chucked off the computer by my son!!! I am led to believe that she had children by her first marriage and certainly one of them was a boy. Don't know much about her as she appartently took my great grandfather for all he had and his one remaining child, now 93, won't speak about her. Joanna

she seems to have had two children fairly close together that suggests the marriage was very near to 1912 BUt i havent found anthing from 1904 -1913 now!

have looked from 1904 -1911 and nothing found

Hi do you know of any children from the first marriage? I found these TOFT John J Alderson Sunderland.10a 1414 2 1914 TOFT Thomas Alderson Sunderland.10a 1588 2 1912 Val

James Tulip was her second husband who she married in 1919. She was born Alderson married a Toft then a Tulip. Will take another look on the 1901

Has anyone found her on the 1901 ? Joan

wonder whether her first hubby was lost WW1 have you checked the CWCG site for a possible death

Jane Toft, nee Alderson, married James Tulip in 1919 in Durham. She was born in 1877 in Sunderland, Durham to Joseph and Mary Jane. I found her in 1881 but do not have access to the other census. I am trying to find Jane's first marriage but have been unsuccessful - I wonder if anyone might have better luck than me. Joanna
