Find Ancestors

Given my lack of success with this week's lookup requests I'm going to stop taking requests for week beginning 23rd Jan. May re-open if things seem to pick up, but otherwise will have to wait until I start taking requests for week beginning 30th Jan.

Sarah Thanks for your very kind offer. Are you able to access registers for Shilbottle in Northumberland? I am looking for the baptism of Henry Jackson, born about 1893 in Shilbottle. His father was called James. I don't know what denomination he was, but I'm hoping that Shilbottle is a small enough village to make records easy to find! Many thanks in advance. Regards Helen

Hi Sarah, This is great news, many thanks for your kind offer. Could you look at baptism's at St. Columbus RC Church, Wallsend. James Arthur Chapman b. 17 Nov 1927 Margaret Chapman b. 11 Feb 1929 Catherine Chapman b. 13 Sep 1931 Parents were Joseph Chapman and Jane Alice Chapman nee Addle. Also at St. Columbus RC Wallsend Joseph Duffy b 1926 He died aged about one year Nov 1927. Parents were Joseph Cuthbert Duffy and Annie Duffy nee Noble . These I would think would be Cof E church Wallsend, 1) Twins Jane Alice Addle and Thomas William Addle b 7 Jan 1908. 2) John Addle 3) Mary Hannah Addle 4) Irene Addle b 1916 5) Margaret Addle 6) George Addle b. Feb 1921 Parents Joseph Wilson Addle and Mary Rebecca Addle nee Watson. Interested in any sponsors, addresses, confirmation dates,etc If you could manage some, any it would be great.

Hi Sarah, thanks for your kind offer. Could you please look up any information about Robert Ramage and his wife, Ann Grice and their daughter Mary? Robert and Ann were married on 18 Jan.1824 at Newcastle St. John. And Mary was born around 1827, Newcastle Upon Tyne. I am trying to find out what parents' names of Robert Ramage and Ann Grice. They would born around 1790s. And when did they die? I only know that Robert Ramage was a marine. Perhaps there might have 1841 census of them? Thanks for your time. Regards, Steven.

Hello Sarah Not sure if you have access to Gateshead ,probably not If so could you please look up my Great grandfather BENJAMIN SIBBALD. I have his death cert 1st April 1916 aged 33 in Castle ward Northumberland. So put his birth 1882 or 1883 . I have searched all the GRO and found no registration for him but his sister and brother are registered. I have his brothers birth certificate CHARLES WILLIAM SIBBALD 20th OCT 1879 and his sister was born after him and registered MARY JANE SIBBALD 1884 so dont know why Benjamin was unregistered. Parents were Robert Sibbald and Elizabeth (nee Wheatley late mckenzie) can find no marriage for Robert and Elizabeth either so even searched her 2 other names. Deborah

Vicky - It's not a problem :) As you say most of them will probably be on the same film.

Hi Sarah Many thanks for that. Wonder if you can look up these marriages please. I'm after any witnesses names and any additional info ('of this parish' or whatever) of bride & groom. Alwinton 31 Jul 1801 Thomas Common and Ann (or Christianna) Richardson (She is being particularly elusive to track down) 13 Feb 1723/24 Cuthbert Armorer & Isabel Handasyde Elsdon (I think the church is St Cuthberts) I think the Armorers were all from Dunns, Elsdon, so its the other half I'm really interested in. 9 Jul 1747 William Ord & Elioner Arkle 30 Dec 1756 John Arkle & Isabel (or Isabella) Armorer 15 June 1777 Thomas Armorer & Elizabeth Watson 28 July 1803 William Armorer & Jane Hedley of Redpath 10 Jan 1830 John Common & Jane Armorer 22 Aug 1829 Alexander Hall & Eliza (or Elizabeth) Armorer 22 Jun 1822 George Green & Alice Armorer [these last 3 Armorer girls are sisters – I know there are others] I think these will do for now! hope this is OK, I know its a formidable list but hopefully the Elsdon ones will all be on the same film. Regards Vicky

As it turns out it's relatively easy for me to book a machine (in fact I was the only one there tonight!) so I'm going to start doing regular lookups. However, because of the long list of lookups any lookups posted here won't be done until week beginning 23rd Jan. When I feel I have too many lookup requests I will close this topic to new requests and post only results on it! Don't forget the results will be posted here!

Can do parish register lookups (anglican and non-conformist) for Northumberland & Newcastle and census returns ONLY! Results posted ON THIS BOARD! These are lookups for the week beginning 23rd Jan, see below for more details.
