Hi Rebecca

You have your Grans year of birth right!

Norah Sweeting, mmn Mossop, Durham N, 4Q 1939, 10a 1232

Her mother was Norah Mossop she was 32 when she died, Durham N, 3Q 1939, 10a 636


Births Dec 1906 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mossop Norah Chester le S 10a 621

The above fits with the age at death, i will have a look on the 1901 census for you and see where the Mossops were there....

I would advise you order your Norah senior's birth certificate and this will tell you her parents to be able to go into the 1901 census accurately. Sadly she was born before naming the mother became compulsary.

i have another mystery and would be grateful if you could find any information because it seems to be a dead end.

my gran norah sweeting was born in 1939 28th september (not 100% sure about year). her father was ernest sweeting b1902, her mother is unknown but we know she died at childbirth with my gran. i assume they were married because norah took her father's name. i also believe her mother's name was norah mossop because she was named after her mother. there is one match on ancestry could be b1906

ernest then went on to marry annie collins b1907. they then had another child pat sweeting b1949. annie had already had a child with wilfred scott that was neil scott b1928.

i would love to find out any information about my gran's mother. Unfortunately my gran norah died in 2002 but the uncertainty has ended the development of her side of the family tree.

any help would be gratefully appreciated.
