John Williamson

[Geordie Ken]

Looking for information on John Williamson who was born Plymouth, Devon, about 1821. He married Ann from Warkworth, Northumberland, and I know of two children: a son John, born, Gateshead, about 1843 and a daughter Ann born, Newcastle upon Tyne, about 1855.

Census: 1851: HO107/2404 Folio 190 Page 34
Address: So. Buckingham St., Westgate, Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland
-- John WILKINSON Head Mar 45 Labourer White Lead Factory [born] Plymouth
-- Anne Do Wife MAr 35 [born] Northd Warkworth
-- John Do Son 6 At School [born] Gateshead Durham

Surname and ages don't quite match but with the other similarities is this the same family?

Hi and thanks;

I would think that this is the family, they were living in the same area of Newcastle on the 1861 Census but by 1871 they were in Byker and John was a labourer in a "Manure" works . On the 1881 Census the family were still in Byker, John wasn't listed but Isabella had a "lodger" John Johnson, born about 1849, birthplace unknown.
At present all the dates I have are from the various Censuses and I am working on confirmation
