Hi Everyone
Iam hoping someone can help with my research with John Jame Mineham born abt 1861 Ireland He married a Mary Ellen Gleaves in 1883 in Middlesbrough. He was living in the area of Stockton-on-tees. I know he was a Locomotive fireman in 1889 and on his death certificate in 1903 he was a Locomotive driver. Iam looking for any information as to where he would have been a train driver and his family from Ireland.
Very best wihes
Leslie

Hi Jonesey,
Thanks for the information it has helps lots.The surname Minchow sounds very distanced from Mineham i would have never see the connection or even reseached it.

Hi Margee
