Hi all Im trying to trace my family tree. My Grt Grandmother Nora Jefferys born around 1889 married Thomas Johnson, she was originally from the Newcastle area ( around Scottie Road we think??) but moved down to Millon Cumbria.They had several children together: Ronnie Johnson - Married- Ruby(?). Thomas Johnson - Married- Eva Haston. William Johnson - Married Ruby (?) - his brother Ronnies ex-wife. Robert Johnson - Married Janet (possablily Donague?). Lesley Johnson, & Arthur Johnson We think that there were other siblings, but do not know there names. After my Grt Grandfather died, my Grt Grandmother Nora re- married to someone ' Fallows' they had a daughter together named Mary but she drowned at the age of 19 in an accident out Haverigg beach. If this makes any sence to you and you think you can help me please get in contact Id love to here from you! Many thanks for taking the time to read my message

Perhaps this is her birth? Births Dec 1892 Jeffrey Norah Helen M S Shields 10a 777 Although she married Ernest Martin. This one seems a bit late: Births Mar 1901 Jeffrey Nora Elizabeth Newcastle T. 10b 10 Rose

Stephanie, You need to click on Add Reply and respond here. Don't click on my name because others won't see the info you've posted. You need to find Mary's death using the link I listed to Ancestry. From that you can find her birth and then try for a marriage for Nora. Rose

It's free to use the BMD indexes on Ancestry. You just need to register. Don't see any deaths for Mary 1953-1957. Rose
