Kathleen I have Thomas's birth certificate that states shes Sarah Sinclair late Stokoe formerly Ord and they were living at 9 Melrose Street Newcastle

Thank you everyone for your replies. Yes Kath that might be William on the 1911 Census. I have the 1901 Census thank you safc. It says Sarah is married but cannot find any marriage or her death and yet Hugh married Amy Jane Barrie 1905 :-S

Where does it state that Sarah's name is nee Stokoe, late Ord? Is it on a birth certificate because it won't be on a census return?

Marina,

You do not state whether or not your partner is living. If so, might I suggest that you delete your partners date of birth? It is not a good idea to include such info.

Thomas Sinclair Son Single Male 9 1892 - Newcastle on Tyne, Northumberland, England

I am searching my partners ancestors . I have Kenneth Sinclair my partner still living His father Thomas Sincalir born 1892 Byker Newcastle married Margaret Cable Simpson 1891 in 1918. Thomas's father was Hugh Sinclair born 1857 Perth Scotland he married Catherine Garavan 1859. They had 2 sons John and William. Catherine died 1885. Hugh went to Newcastle on Tyne maybe for work and took his 2 sons with him as he is on the Census.1901 Now this is the odd bit. It says on the 1901 sensus that Hugh is there with his 2 sons John and William and now has Thomas age 9. It says that Sarah Sinclair is Hughs wife nee Stokoe late Ord. I cannot find any marriage for these two or a death for Sarah. Hugh went back to Scotland Perth and in 1905 married Amy Jane Barrie nee Lawrence. He took Thomas with him but left John and William possibly because they had jobs. They were apprentice boiler makers. Can anyone find Sarah's marriage to Hugh or her death please or any sign of what happened to John and William. Thank you
