Hi Ann, don't worry I won't tell hubby and sons what you accused them of. I'll delete that 1851 that I added. I realized it was wrong before I saw your message because I found them in 1861. Margaret

Thats the family jennifer then in 1861 census hannah was known as Carruthers Husband was a joseph Ann

Thanks for your help margaret it is appreciated, funny thing is margaret i even cant find her second marriage to a Carruthers, do you think she just lived with them and took there name on? Ann

Good one Jennifer I'll take a look maybe she didn't marry the robert reay Ann

this looks like joseph and hannahs marriage, though no females name on page, but right yr and place Joseph Carruthers Year of Registration: 1860 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep DISTRICT: Gateshead County: Durham, Tyne and Wear Volume: 10a Page: 594 (click to see others on page)

I checked the complete index to match that Joseph Carruthers. Ther was no Hannah Reay, Ray or Ellison. Curious! Margaret Gotta go, thunder & lightning are getting closer. Now they say we're under a severe storm watch. Better shut down.

Thanks for all your help Margaret Just started to rain here, glad there's no thunder and lightening as i am scared of it Regards Ann

Hi Ann I see you have found another daughter, Susanna, on the census. There is a birth entry for a Susanna ELLISON b.Hexham Dec 1844. If this is Hannah's daughter it implies that she wasn't married at that time. Regards Sarah
