Hi, Wonder if any one can help a friend of mine who hasn't a computer. Some of her ancestors worked in the Glass trade This is part of her letter ,I send her cuttings from the Echo on things I think may interest her ,she was born in Sunderland but lives in Hertfordshire Quote,I have always been led to believe that there are very few ,if any records relating to glassworkers Does any one know if there are records of glassworkers ? Many thanks for any tips Also a Happy Christmas to every one , and may the New year be all you wish it to be with regards researching your families Doris

Many thanks to Joyce and Helen for their help and the images, and to Carole for a clever suggestion of searching BMD's for forenames which include one derived from a surname.

There are plenty of records of the glassworks and their owners. You could use the censuses to find named glassworkers. In the 1851 Census there were 1,730 workers in glass manufacture in Durham. There were 21 glassworks operating in Sunderland 1780-1914, but only two survived well into the 20th century. Regards Stan Mapstone

Hi Isabel, Durham St Margaret's of Antioch is an ancient parish. Durham St Cuthbert and Durham St John were formed within the boundaries of St Margaret's in 1858 and 1913 respectively. Have a look at Durham Record Office Web Site under Family History then Church of England Parishes. http://www.durham.gov.uk/recordoffice/usp.nsf/pws/Durham+Record+Office+-+Our+Holdings+-+Family+History They show you on a small map exactly where St Margaret's parish is. You can also see their holdings of parish records for the three churches including dates and indexes if any.

Hi List I am looking for information on the parents of William Reed birth given c1705 at Bishop Middleham, cannot find this in Peacocks BDCM CD. Could anyone going to the Durham archives please do a look up on this one for me. William married Jane Mobray 1730 at Bishop Middleham, Thanks James

Early (partial) Access to the 1911 census from John Ferguson Breaking News... The Freedom of Information Commissioner has decided that Limited Access can be made to Information from the 1911 Census The National Archives(TNA) released the following press release http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/13dec2006.pdf The Society of Genealogists met with TNA on 13 December and was delighted to learn that the effect of the decision means that The National Archives must supply SOME information from the 1911 in response to Freedom of Information (FOI) requests. Family Historians and other searchers will be able, from 17 January 2007, to pay for searches in the census from the TNA paid research service at a cost of £45 per address search. Sensitive information will be redacted (i.e. blacked out) from the census information given to the recipient. Note that until the census is fully digitised searches can only be made using addresses and not surnames. Hence searches must be made using the special online census search request forms that will be made available on TNA's web site in January. See the 1911 FAQ http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help/1911census/faq-foi.htm for more information on making a search request. The Census will not be made available in microform nor will public access be allowed to the original returns. TNA is developing a digitised online 1911service and is speeding up the process. It hopes that a limited online search facility will be ready in 2009 with some key sensitive information (such as infirmity or mental condition) withheld until the release of the full census in 2012. Genealogists will no doubt find the online search facility quicker, cheaper and easier to use than the paid search requests and will probably wait until the full index is available in 2009. Further notes on access to the census are available on TNA's web site http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/1911census/?homepage=news The Information Commissioners decision is available online at http://www.ico.gov.uk/tools_and_resources/decision_notices/2006_12.aspx Else Churchill Genealogy Officer 13 December 2006 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***************************************************************************************** To view the terms under which this email is distributed, please go to http://www.hull.ac.uk/legal/email_disclaimer.html *****************************************************************************************

Hi Stephanie, The Northern Echo is a regional paper that covers the North East of England and has done for a lot of years. Also the Auckland Chronicle and the Stockton and Darlington Times. A good source for past details on microfilm, fiche etc is held at Darlington Library. Try them at _http://www.darlington.gov.uk/Education/Library/Library%20Service.htm_ (http://www.darlington.gov.uk/Education/Library/Library%20Service.htm) Hope this helps...Regards...Shaun

Hi Stephanie, I'm fairly sure Darlington Library, Local Studies section have a selection of local papers that would cover Auckland at that time. Their website is here - http://www.darlington.gov.uk/Education/Library/Centre+for+Local+Studies/Centre%20for%20Local%20Studies.htm Katherine Williamson is extremely helpful and services are very reasonably priced, in fact I'd be surprised if they charged a search fee because you have a fairly precise date to look for, so you'd be looking at a cost of about 10p per A4 page photocopy, plus postage. I would have thought that an inquest would have been held to determine who was at fault, and a newspaper report might have been given on that, as well as the tragedy, but an inquest is usually mentioned on the death certificate. Email her at mailto:local.studies@darlington.gov.uk or telephone 01325 349630 Hope this helps, Colin ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephanie Schickinger To: DUR-NBL@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, December 16, 2006 2:39 PM Subject: [DUR-NBL] Are old newspapers available for Durham, England? Hi, I am wondering if there is someone who could tell me of a libarary or someplace that may have old newspapers from 1873 that could be searched for Auckland, Durham, England. I do not live in the area but would be happy to pay for the service. I am looking for an article on my great-grandfather Robert Stephenson who was run over by a train about 17th of December 1873. His death certificate says he died three days later at the union workhouse of Bishop Auckland in the registration district of Auckland, Durham, England. His parents were Isaac and Elizabeth (Ingleby) Stephenson. He was married to Hannah Toward, daughter of William and Mary (Richardson) Toward. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Anyone researching Hall or Wallace of Tannhills, Plawsworth or Durham I have a couple of documents for you best wishes from Isabel Adams --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Researching above interests (my gr-grandparents). Alfred and Jane had four children before Alfred's death in 1884. Children of the marriage were George Frederick, Caroline Margaret, John Bell and Alfred Ernest. Would be pleased to hear from anyone with like interests. Cheers, Kerry from Brisbane.

Dear Listers, I am looking for information on the ancestors/siblings of Isabella Heckles. She was born circa 1815 in Houghton Le Spring, Co Durham. Her father was Richard Heckles who was a Pitman in 1837. She died in 1895 in the district of South Shields, Co Durham. She married John Maddison (bc1818 in Rainton/Edmondsley, Co Durham) on 18th December, 1837 in the parish church of St. Giles, Durham. They had children George, John, Hannah, Sarah, Mary, Margaret, Elizabeth, Jane and Richard Heckles Maddison. Thank you, David Wilson.

Hello Listers, Is any one researching or know of a William BURDESS (or variant surname spelling) "the son of Anthony BURDESS of Coalcleugh, NBL." I have been given dates for William's birth (16 October 1766) & death (27 February 1817 @ Houghton le Spring, Co Durham) by someone who is apparently unable to substantiate/document the information. This William BURDESS married Elizabeth HETHERINGTON in 1788 in Allendale, NBL. I would like to verify these dates and death location for myself. I can work with the burial information, by ordering Mormon films, since a place/location is given along with the burial date but not knowing the place of baptism and where to look has me stymied. Can anyone help me with this. Thank you, Bette

Hello Judy I have MORRISONs. Mary Ann MORRISON was born in South Shields in 1825 and married Thomas POLLARD on 5 May 1842 at St Hildas Church, South Shields. She died at South Shields on 15 April 1876. Mary Ann was the eldest daughter of Henry and Sarah MORRISON. Mary Ann's sisters were Jane MORRISON (1828 - 1839) and Sarah MORRISON (1833 - 1878). Sarah was born in Tynemouth and married Thomas SADGEBEAR (a Mariner) on 26 August 1852 at Holy Trinity Church, South Shields. Henry and Sarah MORRISON had one son. He was also called Henry and he was born in 1821 in South Shields and was still alive in 1901. Both the father and the son were Mariners. I have more information about the son, who was a Steamboat Captain in 1881 and a Ferry Boatman at the age of 80 in 1901. I would like to find out more and will probably join the Rootsweb Mariners List to do so. This MORRISON family appears in censuses both in South Shields and Tynemouth. My great-grandmother, Sarah Morrison STOKER used to say that her ancestors were buried with the Dukes of Argyll, which we have always taken to mean that they were from Scotland (The Morrison clan), but I've never proved a Scottish link. Maybe our MORRISONs are related, but I seem to remember spotting several Morrison families on Tyneside, when I was looking.
