The relatives I have found so far in Durham have all been Coal Miners and Ag Labourers. The exception is my gg grandfather who on his daughter's marriage cert is shown as a weaver. Looking on 1861 census in the village where they were born are a number of people with the right surname whose occupation is given as Linen Weaver. Do you think it likely that they are from the same extended family? I realise that I am clutching at straws here, but would welcome another opinion, before I spend hours and ££££ trying to connect them to my family. Thanks, Cheryl |
