In the list of marriages on p. 160 in 1880, it looks like David Brown married Hannah; in 1891:

Name: David Brown
Age: 25
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1856
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Hannah
Gender: Male
Where born: Berwickshire, Scotland
Civil Parish: Byker
County/Island: Northumberland
Country: England
Registration district: Newcastle Upon Tyne
Sub-registration district: Byker


So that leaves Snowdon Miller marrying Annie Craig.

If this is Annie Craig in 1871:


Name: Annie Craig
Age: 13
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1858
Relation: Daughter
Father's Name: Joseph
Mother's Name: Elizabeth
Gender: Female
Where born: Newcastle


then this sure looks like her in 1891:


Name: Annie Miller
Age: 33
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1858
Relation: Wife
Spouse's Name: Thomas
Gender: Female
Where born: Newcastle, Northumberland, England

Civil Parish: Ulgham
Ecclesiastical parish: Ulgham St John
Town: Stobswood
County/Island: Northumberland
Country: England

Registration district: Morpeth
Sub-registration district: Bedlington
ED, institution, or vessel: 26

Annie Miller 33
Annie Miller 6/12
Elizabeth Miller 3
Ellen Miller 5 - born in Inkerman
James Miller 7
Joseph Miller 9
Margaret Miller 13
Thomas Miller 36 - coalminer
William Miller 8


and this is that family in 1901, the father deceased:


Name: Ellen Miller
Age: 15
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1886
Relation: Daughter
Mother's Name: Annie
Gender: Female
Where born: Towlan, Durham, England

Civil Parish: Longhirst
Ecclesiastical parish: Longhirst St John
Town: Longhirst
County/Island: Northumberland
Country: England

Registration district: Morpeth
Sub-registration district: Bedlington
ED, institution, or vessel: 26
Household schedule number: 79

Annie Miller 43
Annie Miller 11
Elizabeth Miller 13
Ellen Miller 15
James Miller 17
Joseph Miller 19
Margaret Miller 27
William Miller 18


The only thing wrong here is that daughter Margaret was born before the Snowdon-Annie marriage.

But there is a James in the family who could be that James Snowdon Miller who married in 1908.

The household in 1881 looks like this:


Alice Lambert 16
Annie Miller 26
Harold Miller 2
John Thomas Miller 3
Margaret Miller
Thomas Miller 26


Might Thomas (Snowdon?) have had a previous marriage, or am I all wet? More likely I'm all wet, I think.

Just my 0.02 loonie!

Get the marriage certificate!

I was all wet.

The household has a Lambert sister-in-law in it.


Marriages Mar 1877
Lambert Annie Newcastle T. 10b 82
Miller Thomas Newcastle T. 10b 82


No Millers for you! That was a different couple. But I'll leave them there so you know that Ellen is *not* yours.

sorry kathryn i sent that messagebefore seeing this this is the family im drawn to with an instinct the james would fit with that marriage of james snowdon miller because there is no death or birth for snowdon just a marriage . also do you think the annie might of used her first husbands name? as either lambert or craig its a mystery i think you are putting me on the track

Carol,

When a lady remarries it is customary to use her current name when going into her next marriage. So if she were born Smith, and then married a Jones, if Mr Jones dies and she marries again she would enter that marriage as a Jones not her original name.... and i have to add, mention of her original surname would only come from her father's name in the last column.... and if he was her step dad.... well..

This is what can make finding people harder...!! We love a challenge....
