Scott, 1841/51 census and birth lookup please

Kathleen Report 31 Oct 2008 00:12

Hi, my gggreatgran, Bernetta Scott, born 1839c Gateshead, married my gggranfather Hugh Malloy in 1859 in Gateshead Durham. This is a new line and I am only just starting to look at it (Scott). All I have to go on is that her father was called William, as on the marriage record. She gave her age as 19 and a spinster on cert. As she married in 1859 she may be on 1851/41 census in Gateshead Durham area. So, if anyone has time to look for Bernetts Scott, father William in 1841/51, hopefully Gateshead Durham, I would get a lead on the family.

BARNETTA SCOTT
Birth: 1839 Gateshead, Durham, England
Parents: Father: WILLIAM SCOTT

I cant find her birth on BMD, but the LDS have the one above.
I have her on 1861/71/81 as wife of Hugh. What I need is to find her on earlier census to trace her family. also if anyone can find her birth I could send for cert.

Please help if you are able
Many thanks for all the help I have recieved over the last few months on the boards.

No luck with birth reg'n. As you say, she may not be registered.

From what I've seen on the boards about Scottish ancestors, if you can get their marriage cert it has a lot of info.

hi, Just tried for marriage LDS and it came up with a million records, how will I ever find the right one. It would help if I knew the area they mariied or even came from, can you see them on later census, they might have given an area they were born, I live in hope.

hi, I have the parish record for the marriage of Bernetta and hugh. I am wondering where Father William or mother Mary is after 1851, I cant find any deaths that would fit. I wonder if they went back to Scotland?

Any help welcome

hi, if william 1826c married before 1851 census he might be on a census in gateshead with a wife, Could someone please take a look. There are 3 marriages for a William Scott on BMD 1845 - 1849. He might even be living beside or with parents in 1861.

thanks

Hi Ozibird, if we could find him in 1851 with his wife, we could find her on marriage cert, also in 1861 census. Not sure about him saying he ws unmarried in 1881. Can you send the images and I will take a good look, if you need my email let me know,
Thanks
Kathy
