Hi,
I am in real need of some help, I have tried to find one of my grandfathers for approx 11 months now and dont seem to get anywhere. The Family does not seem to exsist before 1841 census as all info I have is from 1841 onwards. Unable to find any birth details for John or marriage details, although I have got date of death (15th June 1879, aged 75), buried Spion kop Cemetry, OLd Cemetry Road, Hartlepool.

I cannot even confrim his date of birth as different site have differernt dates of birth. The only fact that is consistent is his place of birth.

Born Approx 1804 to 1810 Penrith, Cumberland
Occupation Sawyer
Spouse Dinah Hunter - Abt 1808, Hull
Children Mary Jane 1840 Sunderland
John 1844 Middlesbrough
Thomas 1848 Hartlepool
Last know address is 230 Tweedle St Hartlepool

Any Ideas on were else I can look / search !
Thanks Sharron
