Never did find my grandmother's birth registration in 1876 in North Shields - she was RC but I did find the baptism.

Might we try the baptisms for RC church in Hull -

I have to go and make some dinner for me and OH now.

Seems there were 3 RC churches around the right time in Hull

I can see that Catherine Cressey died in 1894, but did we find her in 1881 or 1891?

I don't think anyone ever found William, Catherine, or Elizabeth (their other daughter) in 1881. And no, I don't think we found Catherine in 1891.

What about this one? I can't find it on the GRO site of FMP or FreeBMD or Ancestry!

Yorkshire BMD

1876

CAMPBELL Margaret M 1876 sub-district Cottingham Hull COT/9/282

mmn is not included, so it could easily belong to someone else! Also I don't think we really want middle initial M, did we?

Cottingham is a sub-district of Sculcoates, not of Hull District. Hull is just where the register is stored.

I don't think they're online, but apparently they are held at the East Riding of Yorkshire Archives.

I think that one is the Margaret Mercer Campbell whose birth was registered Jan-Mar 1877 (MMN Brown) - some of the local BMD sites index the births under year of birth rather than year of registration.

Bother, I didn't know that about the different year thing!

In 1891 there is a Kate Cressey from Grimsby aged 35, but she is with a Joseph Cressey from Hull aged 33. Joseph doesn't seem to exist anywhere else at the moment. Obviously we have WDC already elsewhere. In the household is also son William aged 14, b Hull. No birth reg? I can't find him elsewhere either.

I'm only dropping in so haven't really looked thoroughly.....

I do think that Kate is probably the right person.... but...
