Thanks to Giles`s email I found more info about my own Peter/Patrick Devine/Divine & Thomas Mathews/Matthews families, which like most spelling of Irish names can lead to confusion.
The 1850 marriage of Thomas A. Mathews & Mary Divine Sth. Shields England.
Parents; Thomas & Margaret Mathews, residence Ireland.
Patrick & Margaret Divine, residence South Shields.
Witnesses; Thomas Mathews & Ann Mathews, residence Sth.Shields. Who are the witnesses and are they related, certainly plenty of Mathews/Matthews living in Durham.
Mathews spelt with one T.
Death certificate of the above Mary Matthews 19 Aug 1869. Louth NSW. Information given by husband Thomas Matthews, two T`s used.
Mary Matthews parents; Peter Devine, Potter, and Margaret formerly Felan.
Mary Married; North Shields, age 22, to Thomas Matthews.
Mary born; Whitehaven, England.
1841 Census for Bishopwearmouth, Sunderland has a Thomas Mathews; born Ireland 1825, age 16. Through elimination decided this was the only possible Thomas Mathews/Mathews as the others either weren`t born Ireland or were listed in the following 1851 census as well as our own ThomasMathews who was now married to Mary Divine with a child.
Looks like Thomas was boarding with a huge amount of other Irish, maybe sleeping space only?
1841 Census; No 16 Union Alley, South Shields, Westoe.
Shows under a great list of others.
Peter Divine, age 43, labourer, born Ireland.
Mary Devine, age 14, born England.
No other family mentioned and not a lot of info given or asked for on census form. Peter`s wife Margaret not there so maybe dec`d by 1851, not mentioned as dec`d time of Mary`s marriage 1850.
Not known until now that Peter Divine was Irish not English and Felan is an Irish name so from 1871 census we gather Peter Divine was married in Ireland as daughter, Ann Kelly nee Divine, born Ireland 1825/6?
1851 census South Shields, Yarrow, Parish of St Hilda`s, Union Alley.
Head family; Peter Divine, widow, age 66, labourer, born Ireland, Ulster. Orange or Green? Thomas Mathews had strong political views and was Catholic. Why did Thomas & Mary Mathews marry in 1849 & 1850 in Catholic Church?
Daughter; Mary Matthews, married, age 23, housekeeper, born Cumberland, Whitehaven.
Son-in-law; Thomas A. Matthews, married, age 25. Waggon Wright, born Ireland, Linton? Not Louth as expected but can`t work out the place name.
Grandson; Thomas A Matthews, age 1, born Durham, South Shields.
I wonder if Andrew is a family Surname like Divine or a christian name. Thomas Andrew Mathews ( b 1825) his father Thomas Mathews was said to live to be 103 years of age and his wife Margaret, maiden name unknown. Father of Thomas born 1825, was said to be brought over to England to live after the family land sold in Ireland but can`t find him in any English census, maybe he slipped back to Ireland during census years?
1861 Census; Can`t find any info.
1871 Census; House hold of Patrick Kelly, 34 St John` s Street,Stranton, West Hartlepool, Durham. England.
Head; Patrick Kelly, married, age 49, B 1822, Ireland, labourer at ship yard.
Wife; Ann married age 45, born 1826, Ireland.
Father-in-law; Peter Divine, widowed, age 86, born Ireland.
6 boarders, 4 born Ireland.
Patrick & Ann Kelly`s children not mentioned.
There is a death for a Peter Divine who died age 87, Hartlepool, Durham same year as previous census 1871,
1881,1891 census?
1901 census to follow.
