thanks Christine will look into that, i thinkthat i may have to go mon and get the birth cert for their daughter maybe i can get some clues from that I will have to just keep trying thanks to everyone for their help so far regards Sue

Thanks David i have the same info on James Grove S'land but i have not ruled it out it just doesnt seem right. i think the fact that james has a different name from his father is the problem and i am finding it difficult to trace any birth records for James and no hope at all of tracing his birth mother thanks for trying regards Sue

hi all James and his father were both labourers as stated on marr cert, witnesses were linda hart (violets sister ) & John William Karvill James & Violet were living at 32 & 1/2 Providence Terrace which was in Stockton. at the time they were married I have looked for James Grove also but dont seem to get anything that looks too positive he could have been from ireland i have had a quick google ! ! ! not much hope there but will have a better look later, just got home from work so i can look better after dinner thanks all Sue

Susan I dont know if this is going to be of any help but is it possible that James Dunkitt was born in Ireland? I have been looking around and it seems that their is a place called Dunkitt in Kilkenny near Waterford in Ireland. Also there are quite a few people from their that have the surname. I just went to Google and searched James Dunkitt and found this. Anthing is worth a try I guess. Shaz :-)

hi again, i missed a letter off the web address, sorry, www.familyresearch.org.karen

Hi, i found a good site, www.familyresearc.org, i got loads of info from here, give it a try, good luck, karen

I've tried looked on 1881 , 1891, & 1901 census & cannot even find his wife on 1901 I am certain that i have the right cert as it has violet's sister Linda as a witness and every thing else regarding violet matches fathers name etc. I live in Stockton so obviously it was easy to get cert from reg office here. Church records give name as Dunkitt as does free BMD the only site which has it listed with different spelling is Tees Valley indexes. I have tried a million & 1 variations on the spelling incl Scottish ,Irish & Welsh census and any other site i can get onto and still zilch another prob is that i dont know or have any idea where he could have even been born even if he had been on a vessel Etc violet would have been somewhere surely thank you for your time to reply Sue X

On the Middlesbrough indexes Violet Hart is married to James Dunkitt.Cant find a birth on there for him in either spelling. Where did you order your cert.If it was GRO. that is a copy of a copy sent to them from the local reg office which is on the Middlesbrogh indexes.My grandmothers cert from GRO had her as Constant sex boy so yours may be wrong too.

Susan Where have you checked exactly so I don't go the same place with no joy? I would like to try and help, if your still up. Pat x.
