Worth keeping an open mind John Corby Age: 15 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1856 Relation: Son Father's Name: James Mother's Name: Mary Gender: Male Where born: Newcastle Upon Tyne Civil Parish: All Saints Ecclesiastical parish: All Saints Town: Newcastle County/Island: Northumberland Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View Image Registration district: Newcastle Upon Tyne Sub-registration district: All Saints ED, institution, or vessel: 24 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 46 Household Members: Name Age Benjamin Corby 9 Elizabeth Corby 8 Isabella Corby 18 James Corby 42 James Corby 14 Jane Corby 11 John Corby 15 Joseph Corby 5 Mary Corby 42 Peter Corby 2 William Corby 23 View Original Record View original image Ann
