Find Ancestors

I have found some information on a census, and i'm hoping somehow i will find a connection, only trouble is all i can find is the info on the census, and can't find the people on any other census, or births or marriages. I have been searching for ages and seem to have hit a brick wall, can anyone help? The census i have found is below

Name: Francis MacFarlan Age: 40 Estimated birth year: abt 1851 Relation: Head Gender: Female Where born: Stopsley, Yorkshire, England Civil parish: Stranton Ecclesiastical parish: St Aidans Town: West Hartlepool County/Island: Durham Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Hartlepool Sub-registration district: Hartlepool ED, institution, or vessel: 52 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Elizabeth MacFarlan 1 Emily MacFarlan 13 Francis MacFarlan 40 Henry M MacFarlan 15 If you look at the actual census return Francis' birth place is actually Stokesley.

with B Places 1891 Elizabeth MacFarlan Francis abt 1890 Hartlepool, Durham, England Daughter Stranton Durham Emily MacFarlan Francis abt 1878 Middlesborough, Yorkshire, England Daughter Stranton Durham Francis MacFarlan abt 1851 Stopsley, Yorkshire, England Head Stranton Durham Henry M MacFarlan Francis abt 1876 Stopsley, Yorkshire, England Son Stranton Durham image says she is married (and i would have transcribed with an E on the end)

Thansk, i have searched for there births and have found nothing and can't seem to find any of them on any other censuses!

Given the age gap, I'd say that Frances married after the 1881 census to a MacFarlane. Am hunting for them now. Birth Jun 1889 Mcfarlane Elizabeth Hartlepool 10a 174 Any idea what the M in Henrys name is?

have you tried Scotland?

Do you think the Henry and emily weren't from that marriage then and just took the name? Haven't searched Scotland x x

Sorry no idea what the M Stands for x x

????????????????/ 1896 though! Knights Robert John Gateshead 10a 1214 Macfarlane Duncan Gateshead 10a 1214 Matthews Frances Margaret Gateshead 10a 1214 Towart Mary Smith Gateshead 10a 1214 perhaps better - but 'straws & clutching' springs to mind! Marriages Sep 1872 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATKINSON Frances Maria W. Derby 8b 645 Macfarlane James Hendry W. Derby 8b 645

Found this birth on Tees Valley Indexes? 1889 ELIZABETH MCFARLANE H-A-108-0-412 Hartlepool Elaine

Walter Andrews 1882 Jul-Aug-Sep Middlesbrough (1875-1968) Durham >> Frances Hanby 1882 Jul-Aug-Sep Middlesbrough (1875-1968) Durham Charles Gordon Robertson 1882 Jul-Aug-Sep Middlesbrough (1875-1968) Durham Margaret Sherry 1882 Jul-Aug-Sep Middlesbrough (1875-1968) Durham Doesn't hang with macfarlane, right flippin area even!

Found these in 1891... Frances Sawkill abt 1818 Stokesley, Yorkshire, England Head Stokesley Yorkshire Robert Sawkill abt 1836 Hutton Rudby, Yorkshire, England Son Stokesley Yorkshire Anthony Sawkill abt 1853 Stokesley, Yorkshire, England Son Stokesley Yorkshire Margaret Sawkill abt 1853 Sherburn, Yorkshire, England Daughter-in-law Stokesley Yorkshire Sarah M Hanby abt 1878 Stokesley, Yorkshire, England Granddaughter Stokesley Yorkshire Thomas Martin abt 1867 Stokesley, Yorkshire, England Head Hedworth Monkton and Jarrow Durham Frances E Martin abt 1868 Stokesley, Yorkshire, England Wife Hedworth Monkton and Jarrow Durham Edith Martin abt 1889 Jarrow, Durham, England Daughter Hedworth Monkton and Jarrow Durham Thomas Sawkill abt 1841 Sunderland, Durham, England Father-in-law Hedworth Monkton and Jarrow Durham Thomas Hanby abt 1872 Stokesley, Yorkshire, England Cousin Hedworth Monkton and Jarrow Durham .

Your right, that marriage probably was hers but She married in 1864 to a man named steel, married in 1873ish to a man named Hanby, married in 1882 to a man named Roberston and so could possibly have married again to the man name Macfarlane

Kinda wish you'd have said that at the outset Hayley - would have helped no end!

I think the only way we're gonna find out who the bloke is, is if you get the birth cert for Elizabeth. She will definitely be his (well, probably lol) Might be your only way to find it. I can't find anything else.

Sorry, to be honest i thought i was clutching at straws so thought i'd see if anyone could find an info on the names incase i'd got mixed up. Sorry again x

Thanks, its a real mystery isn't it!
