I have tried and tried to find them but to no avail, I realise they may not be registered for some reason but a second pair of eyes would be appreciated. There names are: Joseph Borrowdale born 1870 Sunderland, occupation at this time would have been a postal clerk or master. His wife Jane Elizabeth born 1870 Sunderland, and with them should be their youngest child William Brantingham Borrowdale born 1899 Seaham Harbour. I have found their oldest son and Joseph's mother Eleanor @ 1 Rutherford Buildings, Seaham Harbour but no idea where they are. Anyone any ideas? Thanks Jane

Jess.....it's taken me 20 mins, but I've found the eldest child, as detailed above. I had assumed Seaham was where Seaham Harbour would be, but it's in a parish called Dawdon! So, I bet there are no more children! Eleanor Borrodale abt 1848 Sunderland, Durham, England Boarder Dawdon Durham Frederick Borrodale abt 1879 Sunderland, Durham, England Boarder Dawdon Durham Joseph R Borrodale abt 1898 Seaham Harbour, Durham, England Boarder Dawdon Durham Margaret A Dale abt 1879 Sunderland, Durham, England Head Dawdon Durham Hannah J Huntley abt 1886 Murton Colliery, Durham, England Servant Dawdon Durham Can't yet find the other family :o(( Merry

Thanks Merry It took me months to find Eleanor on 1901 and was suprised to find young Joseph with her - where the rest of them are may have to remain a mystery. Thanks for looking Jane
