"For 1861 Co Durham, use http://www.freecen.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
(the coverage is complete - it's also 87% complete for 1861 Northunberland and 33% complete for 1871 Co Durham)."

Nothing has changed in the past week.

Catherine / Stuart

Thank you for all that!

This looks to be another possible child:-

Births Mar 1846 (>99%)
Kirkaldy Eleanor Sunderland 24 314

Deaths Sep 1846 (>99%)
Kirkaldy Eleanor Sunderland 24 265

There it is - not on FMP

Deaths Mar 1847 (>99%)
Kirkaldy Eleanor French Sunderland 24 238

Here it is:-

Deaths Mar 1847 (>99%)
Kirkaldy Eleanor French Sunderland 24 238

Probable that all children apart from 9 year old John on the 1861 census are Ellen's.

Not seeing a local death registration though for Ellen between late 1843-48.

Robert's birth was registered Mar Qtr 1844, so could have been born mid November onwards 1843

Strangely I have Just been looking at my notes of 1871 but dont have an address.

I believe Robert must have been married prior to Mary!

No problem LInda, you're welcome.

On Probate record the occupation of Robert was given as Plumber and Gas Fitter so confirms that is definately your Robert. :-)
