Find Ancestors

Maureen Pointless confusing the issue until sure it is correct family, as stated in first request not from correct place! (well thats my excuse lol, then had to go for shower)

Thankyou both... Now i have something to go on.. Shame i was unable to find the marraige. But i think i might just order the Margaret Catron one.. You never know Sue x

Keith, You naughty lad. I usually post anything I find as I do not know the members family so have no idea if they already know the names etc. Maureen

William aged 5 months is just listed as visitor - no mention if son of Margaret. Did look earlier for a birth but no luck Maureen

Maureen I saw those too, did not post at the time because was not sure if correct family in 51, they are in the house above Ann. Ann Comby Emanuel abt 1845 Wapping, Durham, England Wife Newbottle Durham Edward Comby Margaret abt 1827 Wapping, Durham, England Head Newbottle Durham Emanuel Comby Ann abt 1836 Wapping, Durham, England Head Newbottle Durham Margaret Comby Edward abt 1829 Heworth, Durham, England Wife Newbottle Durham William Comby abt 1844 Thornley, Durham, England Lodger Newbottle Durham

Will do Maureen thanks

Sue 1861 Ann is wife of Emmanuel. Might be worth taking a look at the image as there are some more Combeys listed Maureen

Can i ask what relasionship William Combey aged 5 months is to margaret in the 1861 census suex

1861 possible Name: Margaret Comy Age: 19 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1842 Relation: Visitor Gender: Female Where born: Thornley, Durham, England Civil parish: Durham St Giles Town: Durham County/Island: Durham Country: England Registration district: Durham Sub-registration district: St Nicholas ED, institution, or vessel: 10 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 56 Household Members: Name Age Margaret Comy 19 William Comy 5 Mo William Gallaghar 29 Elizabeth Gallagher 23 Source Citation: Class: RG9; Piece: 3741; Folio: 68; Page: 10; GSU roll: 543180.

Keith, That must be the same family..although some of the names are wrong.Mistranscriptions i guess. Were you able to find the same family in 1861?

I had seen that marraige for George Burdess before and had wonderd about it. I am quite tempted to order it..as i know his fathers name.

I think either your Margaret was married before or is not your Marg. lol Marriages Sep 1868 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Burdess George Durham 10a 347 CATRON Margaret Durham 10a 347

I did mange to find this on Durham Records,but am not too sure if it is her 1851 Census, Chester le Street District Family Number: 4276.5 Bournmoor, Wapping & New Lambton 1851 Census, New Lambton Edward Combie [Combey], Head, married, 56, Coal Miner, born Wapping, Durham Jane Combie [Combey], Wife, married, 50, born Wapping, Durham Ann Combie [Combey], daughter, 20, born Wapping, Durham Emmanuel Combie [Combey], son, 16, Coal Miner, born Wapping, Durham Mary Combie [Combey], daughter, 11, Scholar, born Thornley, Durham Margaret Combie [Combey], daughter, 9, Scholar, born Thornley, Durham William Combie [Combey], son, 6, Scholar, born Thornley, Durham James Combie [Combey], son, 1, born South Wingate, Durham

Could be her in 51 Margt Comber Age: 9 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1842 Relation: Daughter Father's name: Edward Mother's name: Jane Gender: Female Where born: Thornley, Durham, England Civil parish: Bourn Moor County/Island: Durham Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: Chester Le Street Sub-registration district: Chester ED, institution, or vessel: 2 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 78 Household Members: Name Age Ann Comber 30 Edward Comber 56 Ernest Comber 16 Jane Comber 50 Jane Comber 1 Margt Comber 9 Mary Comber 4 William Comber 6 Class: HO107; Piece: 2394; Folio: 26; Page: 19

Do you know her parents names? It would make it easier to trace her.

OK, can you post the first census you have found her on (the reference will do)

Sorry to confuse.. I would like to find her on the census before she married. But would also like to find her marraige so i can order the cert. First child also born in Durham Sue
