At last fellow listers I have something concrete to put into the forum. I have just received the birth certificate for Edward Snusher born 14 March 1838. Father was shown as Daniel Snusher & mother as Mary Ann Snusher formerly ?[Flix]. Daniel Snusher's occupation is given in Column 6 as publican....wonderful to find someone in this honourable profession, and not just your regular agricultural labourer! Any clues, any suggestions? Directories? 1841 census? There cannot have been too many public houses & inns

Hannah would have married my Gt Gt Gt Grandfather, Joseph CAWTHORN

census, left home to marry.
All the children were born in Middlesbrough.
Any ideas about Thomas's origins would be very
Hi all,
Many thanks to Nathan Jensen who found me some really useful baptism info on
Thomas GIBSON.
It gives a date of 1835, this is very close to the date declared on the
census 46 years later. It shows his parents as Ephraim and Elizabeth of old
Market and is taken from the Wisbech St Peter registers.
My Thomas moved to Middlesbrough, married and spent the rest of his life up
there but importantly named one of his sons Ephraim. A search of the 1901
online census shows only two people with the christi
