From the December 20, 1850 birth certificate of Isabella HOBKIRK, we learn the mother's last name is MORTON and the family is living at "Chimney Mills, Newcastle" Charles is listedas a "Joiner."
From the 1851 census, this family was living at 4 Chimney Buildings, Newcastle. Charles is listed as age 23, Isabella is listed as 22 and their daughter Isabella is listed as 3 months. William is not listed, so he probably had passed away.
From the 1881 Census, this family was living at 9 Ellison Ter., Newcastle On Tyne. Charles is listed as 53, born in Newcastle, a House Joiner. Isabella is listed as 52, born Newcastle on Tyne, a Laundress. Also living in the residence are Charles Bainbridge, Lodger, age 7, born Newcastle, a Scholar. Rignal D. Johnston, Lodger, age 2, born Newcastle. Jane Milvain, Lodger, Newcastle, Dressmaker. Mary Jobling, Servant, age 17, born in Scotland, a Laundress.
From the 1891 Census, this family is still living at 9 Ellison Terrace, Newcastle. Charles CP is 63 and a joiner. Isabella is 62 and a Laundress. Son Charles is 16 and an apprentice plumber. Son Reginald is 13 and paralyzed from birth. Son Walter Johnson is age 6.
In 1881, Charles and Reginald were listed as lodgers. In 1891 they are listed as sons. It appears that they were adopted by this family. Also, there is now a Walter Johnson. His last name is similar to Reginald on the 1881 census. Is there a connection?
