| Personal Notes: |

John is buried in the graveyard at St Marys, Whickham with his wife and son. Plot G157
From Norm Willis "The tombstone in the churchyard of St. Mary The Virgin (Anglican) in Whickham, DUR. does not identify Mary. I tried to without success* so requested a volunteer on the Genes Reunited Message Board/Community column to do census look-ups. She answered the same day with comprehensive information from the 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses, and FreeBMD Birth and Marriage data. * John Thomas Willis and family in 1901 were transcribed with the surname as "William" but the census image is actually Willis. The 1881 census lists only Mary with parents as LINSKY at 5 Queen St, Consett, DUR about 10 miles SW of Whickham. Her father Owen, 35, a Blast Furnace Man and mother Bridget, 35 were both born in Mayo Co, Ireland. Mary, 13 was born in MOLD, Flintshire, Wales about 12 miles west of Chester, Cheshire. The 1891 census lists Mary Lynskey, 22, a Dressmaker, still at 5 Queen St, in Consett, DUR with father Owen, 44, a widower. FreeBMD has a Death record of a Bridget Linskay (sic) age 44, Q1-1891, #10a 194, registered in Lanchester District which includes Consett. There is also a boarder PATRICK SHANLEY, 26, Blast Furnace Assistant, born Ireland. Mary Lynskey and John Thomas Willis were married in Gateshead, Q2-1893, #10a1161. The 1901 census (*giving their surname as William) was in St. Paul Parish, Gateshead and lists John T, age 32, Mary age 33 with children Hannah 7, Ernest T. 3 and John George 7 months. Also enumerated with them was a sister (sic, sister-in-law to Head John T) Annie Lynskey, 24 also born in Consett but I could not find a birth record in FreeBMD or IGI nor a record of her in prior area censuses." |
