Hi People, Can someone do a lookup for me please for John Lyddon 1891 Newcastle upon Tyne, born approx 1858. Wife is Elizabeth, one son also John. Also, does anyone have any suggestions as to why John might have moved from Somerset to Newcastle ?? It just seems a bit of a way to travel for work. Cheers, Marie xx

where and when were Elizabeth and John Born? where and when did he marry Elizabeth? there are various blokes by that name in 1881 , some of whom are born in somerset, some in Northumberland- one is already married to an elizabeth I Guess you dont have the right one in 1891 either which is your chap in earlier census

1881 is this the family but not sure where Somerset comes into it Name: John Lyddon Age: 23 Estimated birth year: abt 1858 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Elizabeth Gender: Male Where born: Newcastle On Tyne Civil parish: Longbenton County/Island: Northumberland Country: England Street address: 9 Western Glower Condition as to marriage: Married Education: Employment status: View image Occupation: Carpenter Shipyard Registration district: Tynemouth Sub-registration district: Longbenton ED, institution, or vessel: 7 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Elizabeth Lyddon 23 John Lyddon 23 John Lyddon 2 Samuel Veitch 58 Thomas Watson 21

Sorry, I had to go offline last night when I posted this message. Let me explain a little better if I can. I have what I think is my family on the 1901 census and the 1881 census but not on the 1891 census. John married Elizabeth in 1878 in Newcastle. John was born in Newcastle (1858) and so was Elizabeth. The Somerset connection comes in as Johns father (also John - 1871 census) was born in Somerset ! Hope this makes a bit more sense !! Cheers, Marie xx

Has Glitter baby got the right 1881 , and can you supply the 1901 and see if someone can bridge the gap

Yeah sure. Glitter baby has definitely got the right one in 1881. The 1901 is as follows: John Lyddon Age 43 Elizabeth Age 43 William Age 17 Thomas (My great grandfather) Age 15 Robert P Age 13 Mary Age 11 Grace Age 9 Benjamin Age 7 John (Cant read surname) Visitor John is a shipwright. All born in Newcastle. Living at 8 Western Glower, Walker, Newcastle. Marie xx

1901 with B/Places for ref John Crowest 20 Ireland Benjaman Lyddon 7 Walker Elizabeth Lyddon 42 Grace A Lyddon 9 Wallsend, John Lyddon 43 Mary Lyddon 11 Walker Robert P Lyddon 13 Walker Thomas Lyddon 15 Walker William Lyddon 17

Thankyou for that x

I have been looking for them - looks like they should be between Walker and Wallsend in 1891 , but they are hiding!

I know ! They are very elusive ! Thankyou for looking anyway x
