I am trying to locate a death of husband and wife, or any info for that matter James Dunkrit /dunkitt/dunkert (all the same person ), last known info was on the 1901 census where he was living 4 Christopher Street in Stockton Durham with his wife violet (nee Hart) & their baby daughter Sylvina (who died in 1901) after that they seem to have vanished cannot find any trace of them anywhere would welcome help in finding either death certs please James was born 1879/80 in the west indies & Violet was born in 1878/9 in darlington Co Durham thanks Sue

You say you cannot find any trace, where have you looked? Do you have a cert i.e. his birth or marriage or their daughters birth/death, to give a better idea of the true spelling of their surname. I know you've got variations from the censuses, but how should it have been spelt? Regards Sam

Just found this on FreeBMD incase you don't have it Births - March 1900 Dunkrit Silvina Stockton 10a 74 Deaths - Sept 1901 DUNKRIT Silvina 1 Stockton 10a 44 (Co. Durham and North Riding of Yorkshire) I can't see any others on the site and I looked up to 1950 for soundex names. but the site is still incomplete.

hi durham.gov.uk have alot of bmd you can view free hope this helps sandra

Susan If James was born 1879/1880, he could have died at any time after 1901 census. I have relies that died in their 20s and others that lived to be 97! It would mean a long haul through the GRO indexes if he's bot on Freebmd. Can you narrow it down - get his children's marriage certs and see if he is listed as 'deceased' on them for example - though he might be dead and not listed as such, if it does say deceased chances are he was dead by then. nell

hi everyone firstly i have the marriage cert which has james surname as Dunkrit,& also Silvina's birth & death certs (also Dunkrit ) ,on Tees valley indexes they have Dunkitt & on 1901 census they have Dunkert Although the handwriting is quite difficult to read, I have been looking for James birth & Death for about 18 months now without any luck i have tried just about everywhere that i can think of. on the 1901 census his name is transcribed as Dunkert B. West indies - Senkets ( i think St Kits ? ) on james & violets marriage cert James fathers name is simon Grove (another problem ! ) & that is really as far as i can get , i was thinking that maybe James father was in the army or something as i have no indication that he was black so for the moment i have assumed that he was white I just cannot think of anything else to do to try and get the info that i need thanks & best wishes Sue
