Find Ancestors

I guess they're probably some flavour of cousins My guess for parents' marrs is:

MACGOWAN Robert 1852 Durham Western
BURKE Catharine 1852 Durham Western
Register No. - Entry No. - District
BCRO2 - 99 - Durham Western (1852)
[BCRO=register office or registrar attended - probably an RC marr]


Marriages Jun 1849 (>99%)
Clarkson John Durham 24 122
Flaherty William Durham 24 122
Herron Mary Durham 24 122
Hull Ann Durham &c 24 122
>>Kelly Mary Durham & 24 122
>>McGowan John Durham 24 122
Mulville Mary Durham &c 24 122
Smith James Durham & 24 122

MCGOWAN John 1849 Durham Central
KELLY Mary 1849 Durham Central
Register No. - Entry No. - District
REG 2 - 35 - Durham Central (1849)
[REG=register office or registrar attended - probably an RC marr]

In 1861/71 Ancestry indexes John & Mary as Gowan [rg10/4910/58/? ], [rg9/3698/17/? ]
I can't find them in 1851, but they ought to be in the Stockton area

Births Mar 1850 (>99%)
McGowan Bridget Stockton &c 24 245

Births Jun 1852 (>99%)

I don't think they are related

It might just be a coincidence but in 1881 Ciscila McGowan father Robert 1830 Ireland is a tin smith

Susans father John 1830 Elvet Durham is also a tinsmith

I think i will have to try and trace Edwards death to see if his age ties up with 1901 and 1911
thanks for everyones help

So not Susan's sister.................a cousin, perhaps?

The marriage cert will have the father's details

I take it that you haven't looked at the 1911 image, to verify the age and birthplace for Cecilia?

Don't know who Cissie is!

Hi Julie on 1881 as Ciscila Mcgowan age 8, head Robert Mcgowan at Wolsingham theres also a Robert age 20, so I think this must be the family and the ages have some how been mis-trancribed
thanks every one else for looking

And mother's death

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hinnigan Susannah 32 Sedgefield 10a 85

Can you post the 1881 as im having trouble picking them up

What are the full details of Catherine's parents? From her birth cert............

When and where was she born?

Hi this why i am confused because one of the children is Catherine who was my grandmother (her mother died in 1904)
but according to 1881 census Robert and Cecilia should be older , and cecilia did not get married until 1906, do you think i have the right family from the 1881?
thks

Jan the image for 1911 def says age 29 , it also says Edward and Cecillia married 12 yrs and have 3 children

Her brother is with them Robert McGowan age 44 single

Thanks looks like 1911 must have incorrect age
