Find Ancestors

I thought you knew Margaret. Im in NZ.
Just come in for lunch and then back to it.

Probably need more stain as I want to do the fence

Where are you, Margaret? Can't be in England, staining a deck at this time!

small world Margaret. I was born in Middlesbrough but not the " posh" part such as Acklam.

I did find a marriage on the IGI for a Thomas Miller to Jane Barker 14th feb 1820 Guisborough. but that doesnt help much

When I was over in Middlesbrough I bought a set of 17 ordinance survey maps for Middlesbrough. The first one is 1618.
In 1670 100 people lived in Acklam 11 houses paid hearth tax. 11 exempt.
It shows the area in blocks of land with the names of the occupiers. Very interesting.

Must be going now Im going to stain the deck

Thanks Margaret. Loftus was previously called Lofthouse.
Is it possible to look for Samuel Miller the uncle in 1841. Guisbro is really Guisborough Yorkshire.

James Weetman died as James Wheatman occ seaman merchant service. The same occupation is on Elizabeth Alice Wheatman birth cert and her 2 marriage certs.

Samuel Miller, wife's uncle, 46, bricklayer's lab, born Guisbro
Children born Middlesbrough.
(No relationship given for James, 2.)

Thanks everyone.
The 1861/1871 census is correct except Mary Ann Wheatman is Elizabeths daughter. Elizabeth is my husbands gt grandmother.
It looks like James 1863 is also a grandson.
Has anyone found a Catherine Lewis in 1861in the Stockton St Middlesbrough area.

James Wheatman married Ann Pearson in 1837. I didnt find a daughter Catherine on previous census

1861 (The name is Weetman here)
Stockton St., Middlesbrough, Yorkshire
Ann Weetman, head, widow, 43
Mary Ann, dau, 22, dressmaker
Elizabeth A., dau, 15
Rebecca, dau, 8
George, son, 3
All born Middlesbrough except Ann born Loftus.

This looks like him in 1871:
Stockton St., Middlesbrough, Yorkshire
Ann Wheatman, head, widow, 50
Elizabeth, dau, unmarried, 23, pottery
George, son, 14, moulder
*James, grandson, 7
Mary Ann, dau, 3
All born Middlesbrough except Ann born Whitby.

Does it make any sense to you?

Could this be him in 1871?

His age definitely looks like 18 on the original making him born 1863.

James is down as 18.
