Find Ancestors

The intended purpose of either route being to find Josephs parents

Would GRO be able to provide a marriage certificate for Josepeh Atkinson Bc1813 and Alice StoreyBc1811 married c1838? I dont have an exact dates, or would it be better to go for Joseph's birth certificate??

I'm very impressed with my fore fathers
When there was no wind to use sail, they would row.

Thank you T. I had thought you were refering to a book.

There are some historical records at the Guildhall Newcastle

Hey there David

Like i said to you in that PM

You will need to get hold of the Watermen Society (google them) They will hold the records on your relatives. I ma lead to believe they are quite comprehensive records and may give you more data than you already have.

Google 'Newcastle Watermen' and see what come up.

This is the line you will need to follow now. Being a Waterman was a skilled trade and the records kepy could include parent names and other members of the family whom are Watermen.

Will GRO give Josephs marriage to Alice without a date?
Will GRO give Joseph's birth certificate without an exact date?

I recently posted details of a GRO cert showing my GGFather's wedding to Mary Ann Scott with their Father's names.

It says at the bottom of the cert CAUTION: THERE AREOFFENCES RELATING TO FALSIFYING OR ALTERING A CERTIFICATE AND USING OR POSSESSING A FALSE CERTIFICATE

WARNING: A CERTIFICATE IS NOT EVIDENCE OF IDENTITY.

To my interpretation this means not proof of identity of the possesser, not the party on the certificate.

Am I correct?

I'm going to leave this for this evening and try again tomorrow

Would the GRO certificate number help ?

Oddly enough, before I sought help on this this thread, I had John Atkinson's father on my tree as Joseph and Joseph's Father as as William.

Put them in at least a year ago, cannot recall where or who I got them from.

As I'm rather sslow at using the tools available, they must have been volunteered

Oh David I am glad Tracy is helping you as if anyone can find info she can.

She seems to be on the same lines as the info I have given you.

Mel

The marriage certificate of John Atkinson and Mary Ann Scott is ordered from GRO

Thanks for your help so far

In the 1851 census I found
living in 35 Bells Close Newcastle
James Atkinson Head Waterman
Joseph Atkinson Son 8 years Scholar

You have been very busy and I am grateful.

I will study that which you have found as I wish to know how you got from A to B to C

Thank you sincerely Tracey x

Joseph and Alice are both listed as not being from the county, and Joseph is a Waterman, so these are def yours!
