PLEASE HELP!!!! looking for any McCourts in the north east of England, is there anymore of you out there? My great grandad was Henry McCourt born abt 1895 Usworth, known as Harry, he had brothers and sisters, cant find any connection anywere. They are, Nickless/Nichis/Nicolas (spelt diffrernt on census and marriage) she was born abt 1885 in Scotland she married in 1909 at Chester le street, Nickless on the marriage index.Married name was either Smith or Bell John born abt 1887, Seaham. Cant find him on the 1901 census Patrick born abt 1890 Trimden, think he married Mary Wilkinson abt 1913 Agnes born abt 1898 she had 1 son called John he married Elizabeth Shepherd and they had 2 kids Norman and Faith. Next 1 I'm not sure of, just what my aunt told me, William not sure when he was born, his wife was Annie and they ran a fish shop in Brady Square, Washington. They were living in Washington in 1901 thier parents were John and Agnes. There parents were John and Agnes(nee Stewart) If anyone has the tinyest of info i would be so greatfull Lindsey
