	The simple solution is to buy the man's marriage cert..........if he knew his father, his name will be recorded You could also look for him on the 1881 census......FREE on all sites

Member Since: June 2008 Posts: 5 Send Message	Hello everyone, Firstly a very big Thank You, to all who helped me with information about Ann Newton, who I now know IS my Great Grand Mother, and the Daughter of Mary Jane Newton, of whom an auntie of mine, Jenny Cullen, (married name was Swales) was named after. (Mary Jane Newton Cullen) That leads into my next topic, Michael Cullen (1869) born in Sunderland, (possibly) but from the Brick Garth, he is my Great Grand Father, but I am stuck as to who was HIS Father and Mother, it is possible that they both were born in Ireland, as I have previously said, my Family is a complicated one. Any help from anyone my Friends, will be greatly appreciated. Thank You. Edward Robertson.
