Ann, the nearest I could find was: John Quin, born 1860, Co. Durham Tyne and Wear volume 10a, page 468 Do not know if this is him, but could not find another John Quinn for the date you mentioned. Elizabeth |

Do you have a marriage cert for him, with father's name and occupation?? If you do, then it may be possible to find him on the census. Birth reg wasn't compulsory until about 1875. Merry |

FreeBMD shows John Quinn for - March 1862, or June 1861 or Dec 1860 all registered at Gateshead, co Durham. How sure are you of the date and born in Sunderland? The other option is the laborious one of checking the card index at the local Library or wherever. As you know his father's name, you could try the Gateshead Registry office for the birth cert. If it doesn't refer, they will send your cheque back. |

Not saying you have found the wrong birth reg, but if he said he was 21 at marriage I would doubt he was actually older than that!! More likely to have lied about being ''of age'' and was actually younger! Yes, you can ask for a ref check on his dad's name when ordering the birth cert. If you can do this throught the local reg office they MAY not charge you if it's the wrong cert, whereas the GRO charge about half the £7 for looking! Good Luck Merry |
