i have been adding to my tree just came back
you are good i will get cert know i have the name
to look for

will go to newcastle today for cert i have found his side hard with out your help i would still be stuck thanks

Sarah you can order Eng/Wale certificates online...heres the address

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

£9.25 and they should come within the week

Think this may be the birth for one of the children born in Newcastle

Births Dec 1858
Wells John Robert Newcastle T 10b 54

This certificate will show the parents names ... including the mother's maiden name. You can then look for a marriage in Scotland.


In Scotland, birth registration didn't come in until 1855 ... so you will not be able to find certificates for Jessie, Thomas and James.

What you might be able to find is christenings from the Old Parish Records. However, I've had a quick look on the IGI and can't see any possibles.

Well, this would be the Christening which Helen mentions:

Name: John Robert Wells
Gender: Male
Baptism/Christening Date: 04 Sep 1859
Baptism/Christening Place: St John's Parish, Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, England

Father's Name: James Wells
Mother's Name: Mary

Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C04238-9

Doesn't really get you much further though,

Sorry,

BINGO... (perhaps)?

Record found on a free site:

Possible marriage:

James Wells and Mary Fleming
27th October 1843
Dryfesdale, Dumfries, Scotland

Id go with that Dea as there is a tree on Ancestry that has her as a Fleming

That will be the one Helen - the christening confirms, I believe!!

Thanks Ginny, I will take a look.
