Can anyone help me to locate the area my Gt. Grandfather was born. He married as Robert Menham on the 14th Oct. 1849 in the Parish Church of St.John, Newcastle. His wife was Catherine Young and I have found her going back and that she came from Durham. They had a daughter in November 1849 in the All Saints area of Newcastle. However they do not appear on the 1851 census. By 1860 they have moved down to London and the name has gradually changed through this time evenually going to Manning. I would really like to trace Robert but cannot find him on the 1841 census and as the only thing on the census to go on his that he came from Newcastle. How can I find what area he came from so that I can search the records. |

Do you have Robert's marriage cert as it would give his father's name which would help searching the 1841 census |

I assume that you have bought the marriage certificate as you know the date |

Many thanks for all your replies. I will try the website you have given me. Yes I did have the marriage certificate and I know that his father was also a Robert and that he was a Gardener (that was in 1849). |
