    2. Hi, Recently added a name by marriage and was checking for it in the online 1881 census transcript at the FamilySearch site. Mary Trimble is supposed to have married a Dunn. Not sure this is them but the children's birthplaces fascinated me. I just always assumed you mined a lode till it gave out ; but I guess it was very much an on and off thing. (Edited out "England" to make a ctrl c fit the page). Household: <A HREF="http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/census/individual_record.asp?INDI_CODE=1881BR_5439998_0&frompage=5">John DUNN</A> Head M Male 35 Whitehaven, Cumberland Coal Miner <A HREF="http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/census/individual_record.asp?INDI_CODE=1881BR_5439998_1&frompage=5">Mary A.

The opposite of "coals to Newcastle" is "coal miners to Newcastle". David ps an american AOL spell checker does not recognize Northumberland.
