MARRIED
... The 3rd inst., at Monkwearmouth .. Mr John Storey, to Miss Jane Bainbridge, all of that place.In John's (b1805) marriage certificate of 1837 to Jane Bainbridge, his father, also John (b1773), was listed as a labourer. That marriage certificate of 1837 was witnessed by Mark Storey, possibly John's brother. A Mark Storey born in Sunderland as the son of John Storey and Elizabeth Dinning. In Mark Storey's marriage certificates of 1850 and 1860 he lists his father John Storey (b1773) as a grocer and farmer respectively.
John's (b1805) son William, born in 1838, moved to Australia in about 1863 and in 1870 William records that his uncle, Mark Storey, worked for him as a shipwright. (See notes on William Storey born in 1838)
John Storey (b18050 and Jane Bainbridge were living in Church Street, Monkwearmouth Shore, in 1838 when their son William was born. John Storey and Jane Bainbridge were living in 16 Dundas Street Monkwearmouth Shore in July 1852 when their last child Mary was born. John Storey was the informant for Mary's birth registration.
A John Storey born in 1773 (a labourer, grocer and farmer) and Elizabeth Dinning had at least five children: Elizabeth born in 1802 in Denton Burn, Northumberland; John born in 1805 in the Stamfordham area of Northumberland; Thomas born in 1807 in the Stamfordham area of Northumberland; Madeline born in 1810 in the Stamfordham area of Northumberland; and Mark born in 1816 in Sunderland. John (b1805), the husband of Jane Bainbridge, is the John born in 1805 of this family. John's father's occupation as labourer matches and he probably has a brother Mark, and Mark born in 1816 clearly belongs to the John Storey (b1773) and Elizabeth Dinning family (see the notes on Mark Storey born 1816). John (born in 1805)'s father and mother had moved to Sunderland by 1816 when Mark was born. John, born in 1773, and Elizabeth (nee Dinning) were still in the Sunderland area of Monkwearmouth in the 1841 census.
It would thus appear that this John, the husband of Jane Bainbridge, was born in 1805 in the Stamfordham area of Northumberland with his family moving to Sunderland between 1810 and 1816. He is not found in the 1841 or 1851 census as he was most likely at sea. His wife Jane is found in all census 1841 to 1871 and she is listed as married in the 1851 census while in the 1861 and 1871 census she is listed as a widow. John, born 1805, must have died between 1851 and 1861.
There is another John Storey, a farmer, who was born in 1805 in Ponteland, Northumberland. This John married Isabella Arthur on 8 November 1826 in Whalton. They had at least one son John Storey, a farmer, born in 1827 in Whalton. John and Isabella can be found in the 1841 and 1851 census of Milbourne Grange, Ponteland. This family is not descended from John Storey, born 1773, and Elizabeth Dinning as evidenced from the grave in St Mary's Cemetery, Ponteland. "In memory of Joseph Story of Prestwich who died 31 December 1838 aged 88 years. Also Isabella wife of John Story of Milbourne Grange son of the above who died 24 August 1852 aged 53 years. The above John Story died 27 December 1858 aged 53 years. Mary died at Saltwick 30 November 1890 aged 61. John son of above John and Isabella Story died at Saltwick 21 April 1914 aged 87."
Further evidence that John (b1805), husband of Jane Bainbridge, was the son of John(b1773) and Elizabeth Dinning is in the naming of their children.
The mother of John Storey, born 1805, (husband of Jane Bainbridge) was probably called Elizabeth by looking at his childrens' names: ie
1st Child - William, born in 1838 – wife's fathers name
2nd Child - Jane, born in 1839 – wife's name and also wife’s mothers name
3rd Child - Gilbert Burn, born in 1841 – wife's grandfathers name
4th Child - John, born in 1846 – father's name and also father's father's name
5th Child - Elizabeth, born in 1849 – possibly father's mother's name
6th Child - Mary, born in 1852 - ?No death record of John Storey, born 1805, husband of Jane Bainbridge, has been found. He was alive in July 1852 and his wife was a widow in 1861.

Page: 155There was more than one John Storey involved in the shipping industry in Monkwearmouth in the early 1800s. In the 1820 Sunderland Directory listed under Rope Makers was "Storey & Adamsons, Monkwearmouth".
In the 1828-30 Sunderland Directory is listed:
ROPE MAKERS - Story John, Monkwearmouth
SAW MILLS & SAW YARDS - Storey John, Monkwearmouth Shore
SAIL MAKERS - Story John, Monkwearmouth
SHIP BUILDERS - Story John, Monkwearmouth. In 30 Jan 1849 John Storey,a ship builder, died aged 62 at Monkwearmouth.
SHIP MASTER - Storey John, Church St, M W John Storey a master mariner of Sunderland Married Isabella Henderson on 31 Aug 1838
(It is possible that all these entries are for the same John Storey)In the 1856 Sunderland Directory there are no entries for John Storey or Story as Rope, Sail or Ship builders.
There is a prominent John Storey as a Shipbuilder in Monkwearmouth as described in the article below. It is not believed that this relates to the above John Storey (born 1805 in the Stamfordham area) or to any of his obvious relatives. The most likely John Storey that the following relates to is:
John Storey (whose mother died July 1830) born about 1788 in Durham who married Mary Blakeston and had the following children baptised in Bridge Road-Scotch Church Presbyterian, Monkwearmouth, Durham, England :
- Rebecca on 22 Feb 1816
- William Compton on 9 Jun 1817, died Jul 1868 in Sunderland
- John on 29 Dec 1818 who died 30 Jan 1872 in Ryhope
- Isabella on 4 Sep 1820
- Mary Robinson on 16 Oct 1820
- Joseph on 15 Jun 1828This family can be found in the following census:

Every information may be had with respect to the articles for sale on application to Mr John Storey, Ship-builder, Monkwearmouth Shore. (ref: The Newcastle Courant - 27 June 1829).
On 31 December 1846 there was a sale of all valuable machinery from the shipbuilding yard of Mr John Storey, Monkwearmouth Shore. (ref: The Newcastle Courant - 25 December 1846)
In 1847 John Storey, rope manufacturer and ship builder of Monkwearmouth was declared bankrupt.
The following story is most likely about John Storey (born about 1788), of Monkwearmouth.
Extracted from the book "Some of the 'Men of Mark', in Olden Times, and their Surroundings", by John Thompson, 87 New Brandling St., Monkwearmouth" in his 77th year (written about 1894.)
Mr John Storey
Mr John Storey's residence almost adjoined Mr Cropton's, this identical house is now the grocery business of Mr Anthony Brown. Mr Storey on arriving in this town in early life was comparatively in humble circumstances, yet much to his credit made rapid progress in his business pursuits, he began to speculate most largely in the Rope and Sail business, the works were right abreast of his residence leading on in an easterly direction towards Roker Banks. After the success that had attended his efforts in this direction, he began shipbuilding at the Sand Point, North Sands, in this also he succeeded most marvelously, and for many years gave employment to a large number of men and boys including able bodied women at the former works already mentioned. On arriving at the zenith of his prosperity, he purchased the estates connected to the large mansion belonging to Squire Stafford, so well know as the "Babbies," the land and plantation extending down Fulwell Road. After repairing the estate, he left Church Street and took up his residence at the Squire's mansion, but we have reason to believe that he returned to his former residence in Church Street and died there, he was about 65 years at the time of his decease, and was then greatly reduced in circumstances to a sorrowful extent, he was buried in the old churchyard, so was Mrs Storey. Mr Storey was always considered a careful and industrious man, therefore we must not imagine that the adverse circumstances in which he was then placed at the close of his eventful life was brought about by any extravagance whatever, but it was quite the contrary, like others of our business men, he was subjected to fluctuations and changes of the unsettled state of trade over which he had no control whatever. Mr Storey had shown that he possessed extraordinary powers of business management, not only the rope making and sail making business which was an extensive one, and also his large shipbuilding works; but he was also the owner of three or more large ships employed in the timber trade to Canada, the names were the "John and Mary", "Defender", and "Planet", yet notwithstanding the large amount of wealth and property he had accumulated during his career, yet as we have said he had to a large extent to part with it ere he changed worlds. While he had the means, Mrs Storey was known to be very mindful of the poor, supplying their wants liberally and cheerfully, the poor of the neighbourhood lost at their deaths useful benefactors, and the working classes in so many branches of trade sustained in like manner a severe loss for Mr Storey was well known to the writer, and was always one of the best employers of labour, and was entitled to take front rank among the "Men of Mark" of Monkwearmouth in olden times, and which life has helped to make our town what it is to-day. Some years after the late Mr Robert Thompson had fulfilled the duties as manager at the Patent Slip and Sawmill at Jarrow, he was induced by Mr John Storey, Shipbuilder and Roper of North Sands to return to his Native town, and undertake the management of his yard, and in which the late Mr Joseph L Thompson, and his brother John commenced their apprenticeships in November 1836.Mr. Thompson Oliver followed the same trade as Mr. Storey, their roperies adjoining each other. Mr. Thompson Oliver was one of the first residents in Lower Dundas Street, that being then a fashionable spot where dwelt those in higher ranks of society.
Extracted from OLD MONKWEARMOUTH AND ITS SURROUNDINGS,SEVENTY YEARS AGO.
BY JOHN THOMPSON, 87, NEW BRANDLING STREET,IN HIS 76TH YEARTURNPIKE GATE AND TOLL HOUSE.
From here, on the east side of the road, there were no buildings of any description until the junction of the Shields and Newcastle Roads was reached. There was a wagon way drawn by horse power, which used to run from the quarries and kilns on the opposite side, passing Fulwell Mill until reaching where now stands the Savings Banks, branching off to the lime kilns at the Sheepfolds, and emptied their cargoes on board the small Scotch traders which visited the locality.Leaving the Wheat Sheaf Inn, in an easterly direction, we come to what was formerly called Broad Street, now Roker Avenue. Here the principal business men of the town resided. One of the residences was the mansion of a former Squire Stafford, at the corner of Fulwell Lane and Broad Street, which was popularly known by the name of the "Babbies." This old place, with its ornamental surroundings, was in the days of my boyhood an object of great attraction and curiosity. The two leaden figures, which have since been removed, and now located in Roker Park, representing Spring and Summer, and were fixed in front of the mansion. A row of lofty lime trees extended from the terrace, at Portobello Lane, forming a home and nursery to the rooks, whose pitiful notes had to me, when a boy, a strange fascination and a weird sound. Time, the Great Destroyer of all things has done its work among these trees, the last of which fell during the gale of November 23rd, 1857, when my heart exclaimed in the words of the poet:—
Oh! Woodman, spare that tree;
Touch not a single bough,
In youth it sheltered me,
And I'll protect it now.Another curiosity connected with this mansion, and of great service to the village, was the large clock at the top of the venerable building. It chimed the hours in loud and sonorous, and what seemed to me, delightful tones. This building disappeared a few years ago, to make way for a more interesting, perhaps, and very useful structure — the Rope Works of Messrs. Craven & Speeding. Passing from here, in a southerly direction, we get a view Church Street. In those days there were six roperies, all but one running into the street. One was the late Mr. George Hudson's which followed down Fulwell Lane, one, opposite the Wheat Sheaf Inn, was owned by Matthew Robson, afterwards by the late Mr. John Hay. Two adjoined each other at the top of Church Street, and were owned by the late Mr. Byers, and one was the property of the Kirton family. Of the two lower down, adjoining each other in the same way, one was owned by the late Mr. Thompson Oliver and the other by the late Mr. John Storey. Rope making was one of the staple industries of the place in those early days, and was closely connected with the many shipbuilding yards on the Wear.
Church Street seventy years ago, was another of the few famous streets on the north side of the Wear. Houses existed then only on the west side, leading from Nelson Square, opposite the Old Church, to where at present stands the upper house, now converted into a draper's shop and called the "Little Beehive." The road leading up to and past "The Babbies," in the middle of the last century, was the only turnpike road to Newcastle previous to the erection of the bridge, and which took its route up Portobello Lane, coming out on the main road at Union Place Turnpike Catch Gate. Opposite the two upper roperies previously mentioned stood the Toll Gate, where a levy was made on all vehicular traffic leading up from Church Street through Portobello Lane. It was not until the opening of the bridge that the road leading therefrom, known as the Bridge Road, was cut through which is now called "Newcastle Road." At this period there was scarcely any hawking whatever in this part of our town, at least by horse power, the taxation on the roads being unbearable. I have known where powerful dogs were substituted, in small light carts, to take the fish to market. This was to evade the toll, which it did for a time, until the authorities caused the Act to come out in an altered form, prohibiting dogs to be used for such purposes.
To return to Church Street again. Opposite the Toll House there stood an old stone building, better known in the early part of the last century as the "Queen's Head Inn," and even to-day, with many of the older inhabitants who are natives, it yet retains its ancient name, though its glory and dignity has departed, for it is now (has been for years) let into tenements. The old building with its curios and antiquated work, stands in defiance of time, and is still an object of curiosity and admiration to the present generation. On the east side of Church Street, between the roperies, all was fields in cultivation by their owner, Sir Hedworth Williamson, Bart., under the management of Mr. George Cockburn, who had charge of the farmstead, which extended some distance along Roker banks.
Church Street and Lower Dundas Street seventy years ago! How many instructive associations yet cluster around those two thoroughfares? They are to my mind the emporium of the entire north side of the Wear. How few remain to-day who can follow, with personal recollection and interest, the change of events connected with this place.

The Liverpool Mercury of 11 February 1848 advised that a certificate of bankruptcy had been issued for 29 February to Mr J Storey, a rope manufacturer of Monkwearmouth.

There is no other reference to a Peter the son of Jane born in Sunderland about the same age. It is thus possible that John may have been referred to as Peter in the 1871 census.
Another possibility is that a John Storey, of Sunderland, aged 21 (ie born about 1845) departed Foochow and arrived in Sydney, New South Wales on 5 Oct 1866 on board the Herald Of Light as a cook and steward.

Witnesses Francis Storey and Isabella Storey.It would appear that Mark Storey travelled to Australia and worked for his nephew, William Storey at Bateman's Bay NSW as a shipwright from 8 August 1869 to 30 January 1870. (See notes on William Storey born in 1838). Mark Storey must have returned before 1871 as he is back in Monkwearmouth in the 1871 census. No entry or departure records have been located for Mark in his travels to Australia.
