Helen Fitzgerald wrote to me on 30 September 2009 about her ancestors in County Durham.

Message: 'My Grandmother was Maud Elizabeth Cumpston, born Durham March 1901, married to Ebenezer Wilkie Hall.  She was my Maternal grandmother. I have no relatives left on my Mother's side. Maud grew up in Spennymoor, Co. Durham, and lived later in life in Seaton Carew, Hartlepool. Can you help me find any living relatives?'

The 1891 census at Durham Stockley shows that George Cuthbert Cumpston was at School Row Stockley in the Page Bank village

The census runs over 2 pages for this family and they lived next door to another Cumpston family:

Family 1
Wm Cumpston Head single age 24 coal miner, born Philadelphia [This is County Durham not the USA!] [born c. 1867 ]
John Cumpston brother single [age hard to read] coal miner born Hall Garth
Mary Anne sister single 26 dressmaker born Hall Garth
Elizabeth sister single age 24 born Hall Garth Elizabeth Richardson Cumpston
Date of marriage Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1894 Registration district: Durham
Volume Number: 10a Page Number: 535
George Cuthbert Cumpston brother single 21 born Page Bank
William Cumpston father widower 68 born Hallgarth Page Bank Durham [circa 1823]

Family 2
Next door was the Kirtley family where Ann Cumpston lived with her husband John Kirtley. With them lived her father John Cumpston widower, aged 72 retired miner born in Jesmond Northumberland. [circa 1819 circa]

I suspect that John aged 72 and William aged 68 were brothers.
