A Family of Fitzpatricks (July 2008, updated November '08)
Searching for the relatives of my Grandma A on the internet is where I first caught the bug for genealogy, as it was fascinating to me to see that first listing of a whole family living in Tudhoe (Co. Durham) from the 1901 Census. The family continued to live in the village, so that made it the most obvious branch of the family with which to start.

More on the Fitzpatricks
From County Mayo to County Durham?
To fill in a few gaps from a previous post, here is some more about the Fitzpatrick father and two eldest daughters.

Thomas' family - Fitzpatricks from Tipperary
Very olde family tree blogge
An image is put up here of a VERRY olde document from the Fitzpatrick family, but I have no clues yet about exactly when it was written, by whom, or even what kind of paper it was!
Going back in time for the Fitzpatricks
1891 Census, Tudhoe, County Durham
In the parish of the Holy Innocents, Tudhoe, Durham:
The address is given as Tudhoe Village, and it is described as 2 rooms occupied.
William Fitzpatrick
William Fitzpatrick (1886-1952) was the older son of Thomas and Lizzie Fitzpatrick. He married Dorothy Ritson in 1926, but they had no children.
They lived together in Tudhoe Village, in a bungalow just 3 doors down from his sister Lizzie.

Thomas Fitzpatrick
Thomas Fitzpatrick is the second son (born in 1891) of Frances (Ranson) and Thomas Fitzpatrick, of Tudhoe Village.
I know he was living with his parents in the year 1901, and also in 1911 when both he and his father were recorded as Labourers.
Military Records from W.W. I
The picture below shows our very smart Tot as a Corporal (?)

Correct an error
Below is a shot where we thought the lady standing was Aunt Nance (Mary Hannah Fitzpatrick, a child of Thomas & Frances) - but it isn't at all. Thanks go to Hilary for correcting this!
Here's a better idea! The lady who married Tot Fitzpatrick was also known as Nance, and had children named Jean & Billy. So you can see how we got confused. OK, so I've put that right now.

Fitzpatricks and Sennetts (September 2008)
This post was written in the week in which Aunty Madge Sennett died, in September 2008. May she rest in peace. I'm sure you'll join me by wishing her family well.
My biggest memory of her from when I was a kid - she loved to wash dishes!

Our Lizzie
Lizzie Sennett (you may have known her as Senny) seems to have been popping up all over the place, so I thought I'd just bring it all together & hopefully make it clearer.
This post will feature some photos I've just received, and they are pretty old!

Mary, Mary, Quite the Smasher!
Mary Armitage died in October 2007 and so I have posted this message as a little memorial page for her, with all our love to Grandad Armitage.
Mary Margaret Armitage (nee Sennett), born November 14th 1923 - died October 13th 2007.

After visiting a forum at GENEALOGY.com I found a post from the year 2001 by Hilary, who has thoroughly researched the family tree for many years. I got in touch (the email address was still active even 7-8 years later!) and Hilary has since then generously agreed that I can publish some of it here. You'll see that for the Ranson family branch she has been able to find links back to the time of the Spanish Armada.
Tudhoe Village Views
There are quite a few old images available out there of Tudhoe Village; where many of the Fitzpatricks & Sennetts lived. I would like to see images of Tudhoe Mill, but none yet. A good place to start is the SpennyNews back issues page - it has images such as these below. See also a grand picture of the Tudhoe orphanage (and St Charles' church next to it)
This first image looks towards the river, taken 1958.
