Hi Ian I will be going to Newcastle civic centre within the next week or so so I will have a look for you and let you know.

Lovely to see such generosity fruitful at BG Forums!!
I have Tynemouth connections but not sure what to ask for and where to start??! My GGGG grandfather George Cowey (~1809 - 13/5/1881) for the most part of his life was a Cordwainer/Shoemaker except for the 1861 census period where he was listed as an Innkeeper. I have tried to find out for which pub, someone suggested the Ship Inn but I don't even know where that came from and haven't been able to find anything on that since. Not sure if that would be in the newspaper records? Also I have no date of birth for him and am guessing birthyear from his age at death at Tynemouth Union Workhouse. He married 3 times first to Margaret Horseborough (?19/7/1829 Saint Hildas), 2nd to Mary Wood (18/2/1850 St Nicholas Cathedral N-U-T) and finally to Margaret Dale (28/12/1869 Tynemouth). I'm decended from the first marriage. I'd love to find out more about his family. I have no records of his mother or any siblings but I know his father's name was James Cowey and that he was a mariner from one of his wedding certs. I really don't expect you to specifically research my whole family tree, but I guess if you come across anything to do with "my lot" then I'd be grateful if you could let me know!!!
Cheers,
Summer.

Hi Summer no problem about looking up the information though it might be about 10 days before I get back to the library but I will certainly have a look for you and see what they have.

Hi Edith I have just had a look at the newcastle evening chronicle death notice site http://www.genuki.org.uk:8080/big/en...ces/index.html and I have found the following

Elizabeth Mccivet died 17/02/1894 aged 55 Byker
Ann Mccivet died 16/02/1898 no age Byker
James Mccivet died 21/09/1896 age 34 Byker,
so what I will do is get copies of the death notices from the evening chronicles and that may give you family members.

Gudday 'genewizard' from New Zealand; what a nice offer to do research.

I posted the following message on the Durham thread and got a reply with Stephen living with the nash family in 1851. If you can find anything else that would be wonderful.

"I'm researching my wife's family.

I've got a subscription to FINDMYPAST and found Stephen ELLIOTT living at Westmorland Place, Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1871. His date of birth is quoted as 1846; place of birth Northumberland. In 1881 he was living in William Street, Darlington and in 1891 Janson Street, Darlington; occupation Iron Works Labourer; and place of birth stated as Newcastle. Stephen married Mary H Atkinson in 1866 (from UKBMD)

I couldn't find him on Findmypast in 1861, and the 1851 census records are not yet available".

Hi Genewizard,
Wonder if you could help me, been unable to find the Baptism of Abner Daglish Found the family living Percy Main in the 1841 census aged 9yrs, his parents James and Mary. one brother - James was killed at Percy Main Pit in 1849. Is it possible to get copy of the coroners report? . Forgot to mention the children were baptised at Christ Church Tynemouth. Just wonder if Abner was spelt wrong?
