I am researching a family called Tunn. Jane Tunn married Samuel evans in 1889 in Sunderalnd. On the 1891 census she was born in 1866 and on the 1901 census 1868, but both times in Houghton le Spring, Durham. Although I think i have found some births for Janes siblings, Rebecca Tunn 1872, Samuel 1874 and Michael 1876 all Houghton le Spring, I cant find Janes birth or any trace of her on a census before she married. I cant find any of these people on the 1871 or 1881. Anyone a better detective than me? Thanks in advance

Do you know the names of janes parents ?

no I dont.. im still waiting for her marriage certificate

trying a process of elimination.....Rebecca in 1891 Name: Rebecca Stelling Age: 21 Estimated birth year: abt 1870 Relation: Wife Spouse's name: William Gender: Female Where born: Stevey Kow, Durham, England Civil parish: Bishop Wearmouth Ecclesiastical parish: St Hilda Town: Sunderland County/Island: Durham Country: England Registration district: Sunderland Sub-registration district: North Bishop Wearmouth ED, institution, or vessel: 6a Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Rebecca Stelling 21 William Stelling 22 Birthplace for Rebecca is more likely to be Shiney Row............... Marriage reg'n......... William Stelling 1890 Jul-Aug-Sep Sunderland Durham View Record Rebecca Tunn 1890 Jul-Aug-Sep Sunderland Durham Reg

Jess.. that would make Rebecca born in 1878.. which seems a bit too late... this really is a tough one I know

Found one... (maybe) Name: Michael Tune Age: 4 Estimated birth year: abt 1877 Relation: Nephew Gender: Male Where born: Shiney Row, Durham, England Civil parish: Tunstall County/Island: Durham Country: England Street address: 54 Castlereagh St

That looks quite promising Tracy... thanks.. i'll have a look at that

Don't laugh, but I keep coming back to this... William Mole 37 Mary Mole 30 George Mole 9 Elizabeth Mole 7 William Mole 5 Jane Mole 3 Mary Mole 2 Edward Mole 7 months

Believe me.. Im not laughing..ive been looking all afternoon.. so anything would be good

Tracy, I also keep coming back to that one so I must be mad as well. Maureen

I can't find them in 1881 though lol Edward and Mary were born in Penshaw, which comes under Houghton. William and Jane were born in Thornley, which comes under Easington. Elizabeth and George were born in Monkwearmouth, which comes under Sunderland. I guess they moved about a bit lol

I think this is William Mole in 1881.............. Household: Name Relation Marital Status Gender Age Birthplace Occupation Disability John BURNIP Head M Male 42 Chester Le St, Durham, England Quarryman Isabell BURNIP Wife M Female 31 Crook, Durham, England John BURNIP Son Male 5 m Chester Le St, Durham, England William MOLE Boarder W Male 48 Morpeth, Northumberland, England Coal Miner Reg

And he's got Rebecca with him! William Mole abt 1833 Morpeth, Northumberland, England Boarder Chester Le Street Durham George Mole abt 1861 Sunderland, Durham, England Brother Chester Le Street Durham Mary Mole abt 1868 Penshaw, Durham, England Boarder Chester Le Street Durham Rebecca Mole abt 1872 Shiney Row, Durham, England Boarder Chester Le Street Durham Ok, so that's all the kids accounted for, except Elizabeth and Jane.
