I have been told that a memorial existed in Cowpen Cemetery to honour the men who went down on a ship at sea, possibly a tea clipper. I am wondering whether anyone on the list would know this cemetery and if the memorial still exists? My gggrandfather, John Potts, went down with the ship. He was a Master Mariner. I have found very little information on him and thought that there might be something of value on the memorial. Here's hoping. Shirley Greaves

On the 1841 Census I have an address given from one web site as: Framwellgate (Rural), New North Road, and another site gives: North Road P B & M B, St Oswald, Framwellgate. Can anyone suggest how I may narrow this down a bit hopefully to give a specific dwelling. Malcolm Ord --------------------------------- New Yahoo! Mail is the ultimate force in competitive emailing.

Many years ago I was at college in Sunderland with a person named GRUNDY who came from Chester-le-Street. I hesitate to put the name on the list as the person is probably still alive. Contact me if you want more information.

Hi Wilf, thanks for the info. I've checked my map (I have a recent A-Z of Sunderland) and found the area, out near the Motor Works off the Washington Road. Douglas
Carol, I also have a gggg grandmother Isabella Grundy, born about 1780 in Chester-le Street. She married Christopher Watson a Shovel Handle maker in 1800 he was from near by Urpeth. They had 5 children 4 born in Shotley Bridge, one being named Grundy Watson. No Grundys for me past 1800 then.

All I knew of her was that she married Jacob Soulsby 29 JUL 1810 Gateshead. jacob was a miner and they moved around the East Durham coalfield. Now Ive been told the following Jacob Soulsby born 1785 was indicted for assault (Quarter Sessions records) in 1811. He pled not guilty and his father in law Robert Grundy (a yeoman) put up part of his bond (bail). Jacob later pled guilty and was fined 6d. Better than a marriage record:) So Im now thinking Ann is the one on IGI 08 JUL 1792 Gateshead, Durham, England, with a sister Hannah christened a couple of years later. Any Grundys out there?

Could SKS please advise if there are still WALTON families living in Chester Le Street? Regards; Robert KEMSLEY Australia
MURPHY/CRANE (also McSloy, Reed, Carey) Gateshead/Newcastle I am researching the ancestors (and their descendants) of my grand father Vincent Joseph MURPHY born in Gateshead in 1908. His parents were John Murphy, born Ireland c 1875 and he was a railway clerk. He lived with his uncle James Murphy and his wife Eliza in Lower Cuthbert Street, Gateshead before marrying HONORA CRANE in 1900. John and Honora had several children including John James, Nora Mary, and Mildred Catherine. I would love to hear from anybody researching MURPHYs who could be connected to either generation of this family. I am also looking for people who might are researching the CRANE family. Martin Crane was born in Ireland around 1800-1810 and married Honora (surname unknown) They had several children in Ireland (Martin, Ann, Peter, Patrick) and moved to Winlaton, Gateshead in the 1850s. I believe the Crane family originated in Tuam, Co. Galway. PETER CRANE married Ann Winifred Maloyd (or Malloy) at the Pilgrim Street Catholic chapel, Newcastle in 1867. Peter and Ann Winifreds children were Edward, Honora, Catherine, Ann and Winifred. I believe Honora was the only child to have children but any information on this family or any other descendants of the earlier Crane generations would be great. Interested in ANY information!

Hi Carol. My mums sister was born at Lowery's Lane, Low Fell near Gateshead Fell on the 15 Dec 1908 and she was Christened Florence Grundy MORTON the daughter of James MORTON and wife Hannah JACKSON, I have never been able to make a connection with a GRUNDY family but middle names usually are a good indication of relatives. The MORTON'S came from Shield Row - Stanley - County Durham (chapelry of Tanfield) and go back as far as the 1720s when the records cease to exist, James and Hannah moved to Lamesley before going to Low Fell then to Windsor Avenue - Gateshead, my mum was born at Shield Row.

Good Morning, I've just received the marriage certificate for Hermia Brown (my 1st cousin twice removed) & Alfred Randolph Pendleton in Southwick on the 19th of June 1918. Alfred was a soldier and his address was recorded as " Hylton Castle Barracks". Can anyone tell me anything about this building. Thanks, Douglas Brown Queanbeyan, Australia
