Researching YOULL, OLIVER, BROWN (Alnwick, Ancroft, Belford, Embleton,
Howick, Scremerston, NBL, Gateshead, DUR, 18-19thC). In 1881 George YOULL
and his wife Jane were living at Red Stead, Howick, NBL with 8 children. From
the ages and naming of the children it is likely that this was at least a 2nd marriage for George and a 3rd marriage for Jane (formerly
BROWN & OLIVER,
nee ????). George YOULL and his first wife Hannah where the
parents of at least Mary 1862, Alexander 1864, Luke 1866, Hannah 1869, George
1872. George's 2nd marriage to Jane produced John 1878, James 1880 and Thomas
1881. His stepchildren were John BROWN 1872, George OLIVER 1874 & Violet OLIVER
1876. Luke YOULL married his stepsister Violet OLIVER. and they
were my 2 x Gt. Grandparents. (Updated August 2004)

I am researching my family history and have come across a Mark WELLS,
born Cowes, Isle of Wight, HAM, who we believe is my husbands 2x Gt. Grandfather.
He is listed on the 1861 census as being a mariner, living in Hartlepool, DUR,
with his wife Mary Ann MEAD and 2 children. In 1871 his wife Mary Ann (shown as
married) is head of the family and has 4 children and her mother living with her.
Is it possible to find out if he was at sea and what ship he was on, if so how
do I go about searching? Mary Ann died in 1879 and in 1880 Mark married widow
Helen SCOTT (possibly nee MORRISON) who was born Scotland. In 1881 Mark &
Helen are living in Hartlepool with 3 of his children & 2 from Helen's
previous marriage, at this time Mark is a labourer. By 1891, Mark WELLS is still
married to Helen but has returned to life as a mariner. (Submitted March
