I am trying to find information on John Stewart who was born around 1843 in Liverpool. He married a lady called Maria, but I am unsure of her surname. They had 9 children - Mary, James and Maria were also born in Liverpool, Winnie, Matilda, Margaret, Florrie, Johnny and Ruby were born in the Jarrow/South Shields area, so John and Maria moved up to Jarrow/South Shields somewhere approx between 1871/1873. His occupation was a rivetter. |

You need to buy their marriage certificate. When was the oldest child born? You can buy one of the kids birth certs to find out the mothers maiden name and then you will be able to trace their marriage and buy that cert for both fathers names and occupations and then go backwards through the next generation. |

Thanks - the problem I am having is John Stewart is such a common name - So may have to order several before I hit the right one! |
