Hi Lynne
could the marriage of Jonathan to margaret have been mistranscribed????

hi cane iv,e got the marriage cert and it looks as if it says margaret lewins as transcribed

This is presumably Marys death...

Deaths Mar 1921 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reaper Mary 56 Easington 10a 597


Which gives a birth year of approx 1865/1866, and matches up with age 44 in the 1911 census.

Very different to the age of Margaret Lewins on her marriage cert in 1885.

Still think they are 2 different people.....


Nicky

Hi Lynne,
just had a look at DURHAM RECORD'S ONLINE....seems there's a lot of your family on there....

yes i think they are two different people iv,e got all the people from durham records on my tree how i have to work out who jonathan was with i think it was mary russell born about 1864 in chapel chair wingate but without a marriage its difficult to find her family i,ll keep plodding on thanks again for all your help

hi i,m now working on the theory that mary reaper formerly russell was married before iv,e found a marriage for a mary richardson b 1865 in wingate she married a robert russell in 1884 in south shields can any one check to see if they are on the 1891 census still togather with mary being born in wingate then i can either rule it out of look further thanks

Hi Lynne,
No Mary Russell born 1863 wingate married to a Robert Russell. The only one I found was the above reply. I wonder if you have found your elusive Mary Russell nee Richardson.

Regards Vera

Hi vera i might have found her but the marriage i found only said she was married to a robert russell or a john welsh so i,m really clutching at straws lol could you please check the 1891 census for mary welsh b in wingate husband john and then i can either rule this out or try to investigate further Its a bugger that my subs have ran out lol

Will do Lynne..

Regards Vera

Or is she now discounted as that was her in the 1891 census that Vera put up?
