I am researching the above surname because my Gt. Grandmother was Leah HETHERINGTON born at Cross Dyke Allendale the daughter of Joseph Hetherington and his wife Jane BROWN. Joseph and Jane married at Allendale in 1813 and lived at Coalcleugh to begin with having 2 or 3 of their elder children born there. They then loved to Cross Dyke, Carrshield area where the rest of their children were born. Daughter Leah had a twin sister Lucy and they were baptised in 1833 at West Allen High Chapel. Lucy eventually emigrated to Australia while Leah married first in 1856 to Thomas CLEMENTSON a lead miner, they had two children William and Joseph Albert. Thomas died in 1859 and Leah married again in June 1861 to John STOBBS. Leah and JOhn Stobbs had two children John Thomas and Elizabeth Jane. John died in 1868 and Leah married for the 3rd and last time later that same year to Edwin HIRST of Yorkshire. They lived for a time in the Middlesbrough area and had one children Annie. Then they moved to Hartlepool where Edwin died in 1878. Leah died in 1903. I have been in touch with one line of descendants of Joseph Albert Clementson and his wife Coatses Armstrong, and my father used to talk about his Auntie Lizzie and her husband George Sanderson. But I know nothing of Leah's eldest son William Clementson and have lost him after the 1881 census entry for him and his wife Frances Dunning. I have been given the name of someone called Gordon, poss. Sanderson, by a cousin of mine who says I met Gordon in the 1950s when I was on a visit to Co. Durham and my cousins and aunties there. Gordon was apparently either a son or grandson of Elizabeth Stobbs and her husband George Sanderson, I think grandson is more likely, but I can find no trace of such a person. I would like to know who this person was. I have a fair bit of information on all of the people concerned in the above details and would like to hear from anyone else interested in any of the above names. I have seen on genesreunited that someone else has an interest in Hetheringtons at Cross Dyke but I do not subscribe to the site and therefore can get no further than searching the name index. But it shows that there is someone out there that must match up with me in some way. Regards Jenny DeAngelis Spain.
