Could some-one please have a look in 1851 census for William Maddison born c1831 in Durham. I got the 1871/1881 census where he is married to MARY and it says 2nd marriage.

My friend had a marriage for him to Isabella Reed 3-11-1866 in Allendale Northumberland., but at least George and John were born before this date??

In the 1871 there is George 16, John 8, Thomas 5, Elizabeth 4,and JOSEPH 0 (along with some stepchildren whom I presume belong to Mary (2nd wife))

sorry if information is a little muddled, am still trying to make some sense of it myself! Teresa :-S

For ref presume this is the family in 1871 - Do you have the family in 1861?

Hi, thanks for the replies. Shirley, I don't think this George is the right one, will keep it in mind at the moment though.
Londonbelle, I think this one is correct, thank-you.
Dea, this is the same as Londonbelle's, same date,thank-you

I can't see George with father William in 1861 - However there is a George Maddison age 5 birthplace unknown living as an inmate in the Workhouse, Hexham, Northumberlandin 1861?? Probably unrelated but just in case.

Hi, just found that one , I suppose if father was widowed he could have put him in the workhouse?? Keeping this in mind as well. This has really set me some work, bit I like a challenge!! Thanks again

I have been trying to follow that one for a while but haven't come up with much so far...

He is with his sister Hannah:

Hi Londonbelle, Just picked up again, and very interested with your findings with the name RIDLEY. There must e a connection here somwhere.
Ralph Hogson married Esther Ridley on 3/1/1808 at Allendale
I
Hannah Hodgson baptised 8/1/1814 married Thomas Brown Reed on 20/2/1841 at Allendale
I
Isabella Reed btsd 21/1/1844 married William Maddison on 3/11/1866 Hexham Allendale
I
Joseph Maddison b03n 3/12/1871 married Emily Pearson in Sept qtr 1899 Middlesborough.

Hoping Lily Maddison born 10/9/1900 was Joseph and Emily's daughter, then at least something will start to make sense!!
