Maureen, The one born in Egglescliffe is the one who's married. His wife is Maria. I noticed that he's listed as being born in Earlyneuch. I had to laugh when I saw that, as I don't live too far away from there and the actual spelling is Urlay Nook. Unless Earlyneuch was the old way of spelling it. :-)

It was the 1901 census that I was looking at, where it said Earlyneuch. No, it's not really near Hartlepool. I can only assume he put that as his birth place on the 1891 census, because he lived there at some point. ANdy.
