Hello Everybody
I was wondering if anyone know's if this lady; Alice Duff was married twice.
She was born in 1875 and possibly in West Hartlepool.
Any info would be great.

Wonder if this is Beatrice from the 1901 census?

I cannot find a marriage for a William Mills to an Alice Duff. Is there any indication on the birth cert that she may have been married before? It would be something like Alice Mills fomerly Duff late Smith.

I got that from the 1901 census. But from the information on the census I can not track either of the parents. Sorry

Francis, how do you know from the birth cert when and where his parents' were born. That info isn't on English birth cert.

You can use the freebmd site to find his parents' marriage, the cert should give their ages, and Ancestry to find them on the census

I have now got a copy of Lancelots birth certificate and am now want to track his parents and siblings down

Father William Mills born in Marlerybone in 1865
Mother Alice Duff born in West Hartlepool in 1875

PS

What are the best sites to use ?

Hi Francis

There is a piece about the orphanage which makes good reading on

www.wearsideonline.com/sunderland_orphanage.html

Moody Blue, I wonder if --on the original scan--it says Boarder and not Barrow as transcibed ! Just a thought not a certainty.
All the best

Wow - thanks to all.

One of the stories that has been handed down is that my GF's mother fell out with her husband and gave my GF to his father to look after because she went off with another man. He was seemingly brought up in a Seamans mission because his father was a sailor. Another interesting thread to pursue. I have ordered his birth certificate so maybe then I can track down his mother and father

Excuse me if I'm just being thick.............but most of the boys are scholars and 4 are down as barrow......what does Barrow mean?

I am brand new to this - LOL

Sorry for my impatience

That is most unfair leaving me hanging.

I know nothing. Some details would be greatly appreciated as would details if Theresa Bellerby remarried. My daughter and I have only just started tracking him down. We know nothing apart from the information you have supplied us. Anything else would be greatly appreciated
