Hello the List Can anyone help me with the following;- Can anyone tell me anything about "Burnside Cottage" at Holywell, and the "Battery Cottage" , the Battery Cottage was dated 1897. Thank you. Elizabeth, Esperance, Western Australia.

Seeking information regarding a possible place to search for a marriage of Thomas Landreth and Jane. Thomas was born at Tweedmouth abt 1803 and Jane was born at Norham abt 1803. This information from census 1851, Lampton Park, Chester Le Street, Durham. The family later moved to Bishopwearmouth. The first child that I have located is Mary Ann Landreth christened at Norham 8 Feb 1825. I have checked the IGI and can't locate a marriage for Thomas Landreth and Jane. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Jackie in Southern California ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Does anyone know the whereabouts of a 'Whitworth Park Farm', near Byers Green/Spennymoor area? I have had information e-mailed to me that my great, great aunt Mary Drummond was recorded as a servant there on the 1841 census. However, after looking on the map, I cannot seem to locate a farm with that name (well, not exactly that name). I'm assuming that the farm was on the Whitworth estate. Kind regards... David Allan.

Many thanks to Jan & Stan. I thought it must be near the Bottle works or Glass works. Thanks again.

On http://www.tomorrows-history.com/mapping/maps.htm 1856-65 there Woodhouse Farm north east of Whitworth Hall which is not in a directory, nor the 1881 Census but is still there today. Regards Stan Mapstone

In the 1851 Directory there is no Whitworth Park Farm, but there are two Whitworth Farms, one in Whitworth and one in Great Aycliffe. In the 1881 Census there are no Whitworth Farms. There are in Whitworth; Spennymoor House Farm Bishop Close Farm Burton Beck Farm Stanners Farm. Regards Stan Mapstone

South Shields Bottle Works were on the riverside in the area of the Corporation Quay, Mill Dam, and Bottle Hill was in the same area between Commercial Road and the River. Regards Stan Mapstone

Hi, Could anybody give me some pointers as to the location of Bottle Hill, South Shields (Westoe) during the mid 1800's. I have a family of MOORE's growing up there and would like to narrow down the location a bit. If anyone can give me a bit of history of the area during this period it would be appreciated.

Hi For some time I have known that my GGGG grandfather William Ramshaw died 1848 in Monkwearmouth due to cholera. Ive just obtained the burial record from Durham records online and it tells me the parish church was St Peters. Parish/Church: Monkwearmouth (St. Peter's) 6 Dec 1848 William Ramshaw, of Colliery, age: 55, Cholera I always assumed he would have been buried in some specific burial plot in Bishopwearmouth due to Cholera being the cause of death- indeed i have received thoughts on this from this group- thanks:) Does this mean maybe he is actually buried at St Peters? It would certainly be lovely to think so- its a spot where I go often. Or could it mean this was the parish but he was actually buried elsewhere? All thought welcome. carol

I have a death certificate from 1840 which states that the death took place at "Ann Stead, Township of Beadnell". Is Ann Stead a person, or a place? Any suggestions welcomed. Ruth

Dear all, Does anyone have the following family of John GRAHAM and Sarah Jane POLLARD in their tree? John GRAHAM is my 1st cousin, 4 times removed. By 1901, they were living in Allendale. John GRAHAM born c.1850 in Haydon Bridge Sarah Jane nee POLLARD born c.1852 in Allendale Annie M. GRAHAM born c.1873 in Ponteland Elizabeth GRAHAM born c.1875 in Lanchester, Co. Durham Christopher Pollard GRAHAM born c.1876 in Lanchester, Co. Durham Joseph GRAHAM born c.1879 in Shotley, Northumberland Thomas GRAHAM born c.1882 in Shotley Alice Jane born c.1884 in Shotley John GRAHAM born c.1886 in Shotley Sarah Isabella GRAHAM born c.1893 in Whitley (Chapel) Hilda Maud GRAHAM born c. 1899 in Whitley (Chapel) John GRAHAM had a brother Thomas who was buried in St. Helen's, Whitley Chapel in 1887 aged 34. Thomas' wife Elizabeth re-married to David Reed Muir (born South Shields), in 1894 Hexham, and were living in Hexham with Thomas and Elizabeth's son, Joseph GRAHAM (born c.1887) by 1901. I would be delighted to hear if there are any descendants from these families. Regards, Yvonne

Jennifer, Unless you can be quite certain that the 1841 Durham Eleanor is the one who you are looking for, it might be advisable to send a query to the Durham records office (with all the relevant family data that you know for sure), rather than simply order the 1841 certificate. As you should see from the link that I sent previously, they have a ready made process for people to "send a query". I have not used that service myself - others may be able to tell you more about it. Good luck, Tim S.
