Hi, Would anybody be able to do a newspaper lookup for me please? An inquest was held in Sunderland in November 1893 regarding the death of Margaret Graham Blenkinsop, aged 2 years at the Sunderland Infirmary. She was the daughter of Thomas Pigg Blenkinsop and Mary Louisa Wright. The inquest was rep...

Once again,

Thanks so much for helping me with this issue that has been pressing me for absolutely ages.

I can't thank you enough.

Wow, thanks so much for this. A mystery finally solved after ages! That means that Frederick bigamously married Annie sometime after 1910. Now, all I have to do is find Annie's maiden surname so I can purchase the (invalid!) marriage certificate. I wonder where Frederick is on the 1911 census. I'll ...

Still waiting for his marriage certificate to arrive, but in the meantime, I think I may be closer to solving this mystery. In the 1921 Census, there is a couple, Frederick and Annie Watson (married), who are living in Hull. Frederick claimed to be born in 1866 in "Broomside, Durham", whic...

That's alright. It happens to us all. I have also just remembered that Frederick's wife, Eleanor, went back to using her former married name of "Blenkinsopp" after 1910 (the date Frederick disappeared), this seems to suggest that there was some tension between the 2 of them. Her death was ...

Hi there, Thanks so much for this. It looks very promising. I am especially interested in the fact that John William was going to take out a US Citizenship in 1920, I'll be very interested to see if that links with my Frederick. Where was the information about this Frederick marrying somebody called...

Hi, I will purchase a digital birth certificate for Frederick this evening, and I am hoping that this Frederick who was born in 1866 the son of Joseph Watson and Jane Lawther is the same Frederick that married Eleanor in 1901 (I shall have to wait for the marriage certificate to arrive to be absolut...

Hi there, Thank you so much, I did not know that Joseph Watson married Jane Lawther in 1858. Due to this Frederick appearing in the 1871 census with the family; I agree with you that there is a highly likely chance that the father of my Frederick was indeed Joseph--not George as I previously had tho...

Hi there, Yes, that's Frederick from South Shields. He was Frederick James Wallgreen Johnson. He was born in 1867 in South Shields, the son of Charles Watson and Jane Johnson. He lived with Mary Burns, a widow. I think he died in 1944. I think my Frederick who married Eleanor Blenkinsopp, was the fi...

Hi there, Thank you very much for your reply. I ordered Frederick's marriage certificate last week, and I am still waiting for it to arrive; so I will check to see if the signatures match up with the 1911 when it arrives. However, the person who appears on the 1921, 1911 and 1901 census with Mary Bu...

Alright so this one has been troubling me for a while. I would like to know what happened to Frederick Watson, a boilermaker and riveter of Durham after 1910. Frederick was born about 1866 in Burnside, Durham, and married Eleanor Blenkinsopp nee Rodenby in March 1901 at Blyth, St. Cuthbert. Eleanor ...

Hello Bc, thanks for the reply In using the website Free REG that you recommended, I have ditched the idea that Johns' father was :- "George Blenkingsop, born 1620 in Whickham, Durham" due to a number of errors from Ancestry and My Heritage. Via the website "Blankenship Web" and ...

Hi, I'm new to this forum, so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to be posting it to, but I need some help with family history. I come from the Blenkinsopp family of Northumberland, and via the IGI the earliest I have came to find my family was that of "George Blenkinsop--Born 1674 in Newcast...
