Research Notes

The original birthplace from the GEDCOM upload was Cornsay, which could be in the parishes of either Lanchester or Satley, both within the Durham registration district. The birthplace was changed to Tanfield based on the 1861, 1871 and 1881 census records. If there is a better source for the birthplace of Cornsay (e.g. birth certificate), please add it to the profile and correct the birthplace. Rae-355 18:50, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
