Well thanks :D

I keep switching branches when I get lost...which isn't really helping lol

i'm mulitasking... watching that and being here...

Clare it's been a pleasure helping you to find your family... it's allowed me a break from yanking my hair out with mine,..

I also have 2 people with the same name from the same small village born 8 months apart... i'm awaiting the second birth cert before i can make assumptions on what i have....

i have 7 different parts of our tree going at the same time !!

Thanks again

And...BB...you reminded me! :D

Baptisms Sunderland Sarah [Haswell/Oliver] 1795 1796

getting warmer...........


:D

sorry I confused you - I forgot it was Durham

Found a website:
http://www.durhamrecordsonline.com/

This is what is says:

transcribed extracts from many parish registers (christenings, confirmations, marriages, burials)
1841 census transcriptions of the entire county, fully indexed
1851 through 1891 census transcriptions for a large part of County Durham (see the list of communities covered), plus 1901 for Easington district, all fully indexed
complete index searchable by given name, surname, birth year, parents, household head, occupation
instantly viewable order results (with online payment)
optional matching service connects you with other researchers looking at the same records

Might be worth a look

Thanks

Still utterly confused at the mo....sorry I'm not in at all...

Hi Clare,

The Parish Registers for Whickham, Durham are held at
Durham Records Office
County Hall,
Durham
DH15UL

Regards Vera

Sorry, but whats the LMA? lol

And...I have never seen the Jane bit...but then again...i guess it's not always there.......

a possibility i guess

Hi Wayne, wouldn't that make her 50 in 1841?

So, is that too far out seeing as it says 40, even if it had been rounded?

:S

Clare

This could be her death ( couldn't find her on the 1861) it would give you her age, but once again it might not be correct

Deaths Sep 1859 (>99%)

Another thought. Could someone lookup the marriage for you at the LMA?

I had a marriage on familysearch, just usual date, place and spouses. As I had the exact date and place, I kind soul looked up the entry at the LMA for me and found two witness, and one was the bride's father!

Also have you got Sarah on any other censuses to try and narrow down her age?

Selena

Err right, when I look up her birth, I get 1787/1788/1790/1792 but then it jumps to 1800 etc.

Clare

me too lol

Where have you got 1792 from ?

OK....so would 1792 still be possible?

Am starting to get confused :S

Clare

The ages on the 1841 are rounded up or down, that why i then alway check to see if they are on the 1851.

Something my brother always told me was not to forget that they didn't really know how old they were plus it was the head of house that gave the info.
