Can anyone please read where this chap was born

[Linda from Murton]

John ?W? White aged 44 on the 1871 Census for 5 Bell Street, Ryhope (RG/5012 Page 26 Folio 118. I can tell its Co. Durham but I just cannot read the place name.

Your help would be much appreciated. If it helps on the 1851 Census it says he was born in Gateshead. At the time he was living with inlaws at New Square, Monkwearmouth.

Thank you.

I can't find a Lisburn in Durham. There is a Fishburn!

[Darksecretz]

not sure it is Lisburn, as the other 'L's look different

it does look like it ends in 'burn' though

[Linda from Murton]

Many thanks for responding. Got me stumped. I too can see the burn - its the fancy start that I cannot read. There was a Heburn in Co. Durham. Wonder if it could be Ousburn??

was his parents Thomas and Elizabeth?

[Linda from Murton]

I don't know, I haven't traced him back before the 1851 Census when he was living with his inlaws.

[Darksecretz]

ahh I see, presumed that you already had.. oops.

do you have a marriage for them at all?

I have just found something that has confused me..lol.

[Linda from Murton]

Hello - yes I have their marriage details. Think I shall send for a copy certificate to get details of his father. This might help some progress. June quarter 1850 Sunderland.

Sorry if I am not back for a while - off to make some tea.
