Hi

Not sure if anyone can help me with this at all. I am looking for my ancestor matthew masterman. I believe he may be on the 1841 census so was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to search for me. His birth year is 1836 and I believe he was born in Durham or the north east of england. I am wanting to find out who his parents were ?

Thanks for any help in advance

Many Durham OPRs give the mum's MS, but not Whickham, it seems.
