Find Ancestors

Hi I am trying to find information on my grandmothers parents.
I know that they are called Ralph Saint and Emily Christine Thompson, but I would love to find out any sibling and their details. I believe that they would have lived in the Bedlington area of Northumberland. My Grandma, Frances Saint b 1915.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Kevin

For reference - this looks like the marriage of Ralph and Emily.

This could be Ralph and Emily in 1901 - Maria Thompson is shown as stepdaughter!

Hi Langdon
I see that there was a Maria P Thompson as in thier household - does this mean she is a sister?
Also as my Gran wasn't born until 1915 were her parents 57 and 40 or is my maths really bad?
Thanks
Kevin

These could all be "possible" children of Ralph and Emily.

Hi Kevin,

Your math sounds fine to me.

Maria P Thompson is shown as Ralph Saint's stepdaughter. Not quite sure how that works out at the moment.

I will see if I can find Emily and Maria on an earlier census.

This looks like Emily's birth.

Births Jun 1876
THOMPSON Emily Christina Newcastle T. 10b 45

Total longshot - I am just wondering whether Maria P Thompsons age should be months rather than years. If so, she could be the daughter of an unmarried Emily.

There is a birth for a Maria P Thompson but in 1897. (I know the dates still don't add up but I can't see another Maria P Thompson registered)
