Marriages Jun 1907

TEWAAG Charles Richards S. Shields 10a 1380


Do you know for certain this spelling of surname is correct?

The name Tewaag does not sound particularly English or indeed from anywhere in the UK. The theory that he did not originate from within these shores is favourite I would say. Googling seems to indicate that most Tewaag's are of German descent.

A copy of his marriage certificate might reveal some clues such as his occupation and that of his father.

How is Elsie described in the 1911 census, Married or Widowed? Have you been able to follow her or her daughter forward in time?

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

i have an Elspeth Wilson Jeffrey [Elsie] c1886 born Australia, known as Elsie in the 1901 census living in South Shields. She married Charles Richard Tewaag in June 1907 they had a daughter Elspeth Julia born 1908, Elsie died 1965,

I can't find a birth or a death of Charles, I thought maybe he was born somewhere else and as he is'nt present on the 1911 census maybe he left his family and returned where he came from.

Any help would be a big help
Thank you
Anita
