I have the names of my great nans siblings but I would like to find the names of my great nans mum and dad. My great nan was called Mary Williams and she married my great grandad Robert Mossman. Mary had siblings called Isabella (known as Bella), Charlotte (known as Lottey), Nellie, Milly, Mary (my great nan), Thomas. Marys parents also adopted a boy called Stan when he was 2. They lived in John Williamson street, south shields. I would like to try and find each of them, when they were all born and also the name of their parents and possibly the year they were born. I know my great nan mary was born in 1912. |

I have been having a look for ages now and I am just not grasping this at all. Can anyone else see if they can have better luck than me. |

Was Mary Williams born in South Shields? If so this is the only birth for a Mary Williams registered in 1912:- |

Do you happen to know which one was born after Mary in 1912 (or do you know what year any of them apart from Mary was born) - it's just that there are so many Williams births that if you don't have an idea of what years they were born it is a lot of trawling through pages and pages of births. |

I know Nellie was the next one born after Mary and she was the younest, mary was the second youngest. I would say Nellie would have been within a couple of years, I dont think there was much difference in their age |

Sorry to keep asking questions, but do you know if Nellie would have been named Nellie or could it be Ellen (Nellie is often a pet name for Ellen or Helen). |

Could Nellie have been called Helen (1913) South Shields. Mothers maiden name also Trotter |

Well done Seaham Lass. I couldn't find a birth in the next couple of years after Mary for a Nellie, so I would think Helen is probably the one. |
