Do you have time to look up another one please?
I'm looking to find out what happened to a James Morton living in Carrville, Durham, England in the 1851 census. He was a coal miner and emigrated to the US in the 1860's and we believe he was in the Louisville Colorado region. He was the brother of my husbands great granmother Hannah. Their parents were called John and Elizabeth Morton, they had a number of other children.
We know that James had some descendants , one was called Tom who married an Iva who was living in Lafayette Boulder county in the early 1960's.
I would be grateful if anyone could add anythingto this rather sketchy information.Many thanks.

Hi, RJS

I'm not quite sure as to what you want. I Can only look up on Ancestry.co.uk.

Julie

 

[RJS]

Hi Julie, thank you. Imust get myself thinking about all this in a much clearer way. I don't think I realised what I was getting myself into. I don't have any information on any of the family as to where they went after Carrville. I know Ralph the youngest was born in Carrville.Is it possible for you to find out where the family went next? It appears they moved around a lot because at on etime they were up in Northumberland (Tynemouth I think).
Many thanks
Ros

RJS,

Will give it a rest for the moment will look up later.


Julie

 

[RJS]

Julie, thank you so much. That's brilliant because we have a connection to Hannah Morton who married Joseph Johnson first and then went on to marry John Snowdon - my husbands great grandfather- so we ARE looking at the right family. Thanks ever so much.
We are now trying to find out what became of Joseph Johnson as we know that Hannah had one child with him before she married the Snowdon. Can I ask if there is any chance of you looking up a cause / death of Joseph Johnson. Their child Tom (Thomas?) was only 4 when she remarried.
Hope you don't mind.

Hi Ros,

Here are the family on the 1891 census

civil parish Tudhoe-address Tudhoe Collery

Thomas Johnson stepson age 19 occ coal miner born Tudhoe Collery
George Snowdon son age 11 born Tudhoe Collery
Hannah Snowdon wife age 44 born Halgarth (different place of birth)
Isabella Snowdon dau age 3 born Tudhoe Collery
John Snowdon head age 42 coal miner born Giles Gate
John Snowdon son age 14 born Tudhoe Collery
Mary Elizabeth Snowdon dau age 4 born Tudhoe Coller
William Thas Snowdon son age 7 rn Tudhoe Collery

So we know Joseph had died by then. Found this death 1884 Joseph Johnson dist Durham born abt 1826. Whether its him or not, but to know the cause of death you will need to purchase the death certificate. Will have another look on the 1881 census to see if he is there.

[juliejtp]

Hi Ros,

1881 census-civil parish Tudhoe

Tom Johnson age 9
George Snowdon age 1
Hannah Johnson age 33
John Johnson age 32
John Johnson age 4

So that death for Joseph isnt the right one.

Julie

 

[juliejtp]

Found this death year 1874 Dec 1/4 district Durham Joseph Johnson born abt 1845.

Hi Julie, wow!!!
Well, trying to work out from that I can see -

William Thas Snowdon son age 7 rn Tudhoe Collery - that's my husbands grandfather!

Found this death year 1874 Dec 1/4 district Durham Joseph Johnson born abt 1845. - this sounds like the right one - we know from a family bible that Hannah Johnson (nee Morton) marries John Snowdon in 1875 - so her first husband Joseph died in 1874

Not sure about this yet -
1881 census-civil parish Tudhoe

Tom Johnson age 9 - sounds right
George Snowdon age 1 - ditto
Hannah Johnson age 33 - not sure about this, she was supposed to be married by then
John Johnson age 32 ?
John Johnson age 4 ?

I can't thank you enough for all this help. Going off to check the links you gave and have a cuppa /try to take it all in. thank you :0)

 

[RJS]

just had a thought - perhaps it was wrongly recorded


Hannah Johnson age 33 - not sure about this, she was supposed to be married by then
John Johnson age 32 ?
John Johnson age 4 ?


should have been recorded as Snowdon surname - the ages correspond to what they should be.

Thanks Julie.
Regards
Ros

 

[juliejtp]

Will check again. I bet I've put Johnson instead of Snowdon.

Julie

 

[juliejtp]

Yep typed Johnson instead of Snowdon. Had you worried then.

Address 88 Front Row

Julie

 

[juliejtp]

Marriage 1875 Hannah Johnson June 1/4 district Durham John Snowdon is also listed.

Julie

 

[RJS]

No problem Julie - you're a star. You found out more for me in a day than I've found in weeks. This fills in a very big gap in the picture because now we know how Hannah and John Snowdon met. John was the son of Thomas and Isabella Snowdon who were living in Tudhoe. Thomas was killed in the 1882 Tudhoe Pit Disaster.
I think the next step for us will be to find out more about the Snowdons. Hannah and John moved on to Wheatley Hill and are buried in the Cemetery there. Their son William Thomas - my husbands grandad also stayed in WHeatley Hill for the rest of his life. However we have no idea what happened to any of Johns brothers or sisters so I think thats the way for us to go next. For a long time my husband -also John Snowdon - thought he had no Snowdon relatives, perhaps there may be some out there!
Thank you so much, if you ever have nothingto do!!!!!!!! would you mind lookingfor some Snowdons for us :0) Thanks again Julie.
Regards
Ros
