Hello Folks, In my first submission on 2 Jan. I should have added that the BRAMBLE family lived at Durham and at Bishopswearmouth and later 1901 at Newcastle. There are quite a lot of Durham people named BRAMBLE but my group are unconnected and come from Lenham in Kent. Thank you. Dennis Bramble. ----- Original Message ----- From: "dennis bramble" <d.bramble@mypostoffice.co.uk> To: "Rootsweb" <ENG-DUR-Sunderland@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 02, 2010 9:36 PM Subject: [ENG-DUR-SUNDERLAND] Bramble of Sunderland & Newcastle. > Help appreciated on BRAMBLE from 1881 census onwards of Kent extraction. > > Edward, & wife Jane and sons George and Ernest.

Hi Rob, Thanks for your reply. Diamond Hall was different to the school (although I would like to see a photo of the school too as my dad went there). It was more information on the history of the house Diamond Hall in Lisburn Terrace that I am looking for.

Sunderland Antiquarian Society have a plan of the Diamond Hall estate in 1858 http://www.sunderland-antiquarians.org/maps-2/ unfortunately not on-line. Stan Mapstone

If you go to http://lewis.dur.ac.uk/pip/singlezoom.asp?img=p2379&ref1=2250 you can see the extent of Mr. Snowdon's estate, and also Diamond Hall on this 1830/1 map.

Dear Listers, Trying to locate Marjory and Osmond EMBLETON and/or members of their family. Osmond Brian EMBLETON the son of John EMBLETON and Rose Anna RICE was born about 1930 in Whitley Bay. He was in the Merchant Navy. Marjory FRANCIS was born in 1925 in South Australia. Marjory FRANCIS and Osmond Brian EMBLETON were married in Sydney, Australia in 1956. Marjory EMBLETON (nee FRANCIS) arrived in England on the ship "Orontes" on 5 July 1957. Her address in the U.K. was stated as Middle Herrington, near Sunderland, County Durham. England was stated as her country of intended future permanent residence. Would like to hear from anyone with any possible connections or knowledge of Marjory and Osmond EMBLETON. Thank you for your assistance, Wendy Thomas, Queensland, Australia.

Just to say that the Diamond Hall Bottle Works were 1857-1877.

Diamond Hall is not shown on an 1836 map although Biss Folly is, it is shown on the 1857 map. The Diamond Hall Bottle Works were adjacent to the railway at the north end of Lisburn Terrace. It looks as though Diamond Hall had been demolished, or converted, by 1895 on the map there is a building at the SE end of Lisburn Terrace which seems to consist of two houses. Diamond Hall School was built in 1878, between Thornbury and Milton Streets, on the other side of the railway, it has been demolished and the site is now a park. The present Diamond Hall Junior and Infant School are on a different site. Stan Mapstone

Hi Mark,   Stan Mapstone will know more than I do, but if it's the same Diamond Hall, that I think it is, it was a school at the turn of the twentieth century. There was a photo of it floating around on the forum somewhere. Will see if I can find it for you.   Rob.   --- On Fri, 1/1/10, Mark Etheridge <mretheridge@googlemail.com> wrote: From: Mark Etheridge <mretheridge@googlemail.com> Subject: [ENG-DUR-SUNDERLAND] Diamond Hall To: ENG-DUR-SUNDERLAND-L@rootsweb.com Date: Friday, 1 January, 2010, 22:47 Hello & Happy New Year to everyone.

Hi, I'm new to this List and am looking for any information about or connections to my grandfather's brother George Davison Scott born 1874 in Bishopwearmouth. His parents were Thomas Scott (born Channerwick, Shetland Islands) and Elizabeth Davison who married on April 15, 1871 in Sunderland. Elizabeth was the daughter of George Davison and Elizabeth Coates (who lived at that time at 47 Tweed St. which I think was in Hendon) Thomas, a sailor, died on September 10, 1878 leaving Elizabeth a widow with two young boys (my grandfather Thomas Davison Scott aged 6 and George, his brother aged 4). In the 1881 census Elizabeth has gone back to live with her parents: Cliff Terrace, Bishopwearmouth, Durham Head/H. George Davidson Mariner 59y Elizabeth Davidson wife 57y Elizabeth Scott widow 28y Thomas Scott son 8y George Scott son 7y I think George may have married Catherine Conlin in 1898 but have yet to get their marriage certificate to prove that. I have no family records if George had any descendants. Any help gratefully received! Thanks, Chris Best in Birmingham

Help appreciated on BRAMBLE from 1881 census onwards of Kent extraction. Edward, & wife Jane and sons George and Ernest. What became of Ernest after 1901 census on Newcastle? Also daughter of George, named Lilly, also on 1901 census. Thanks in anticipation. Dennis Bramble.

Hello all.   Just a quick request this time. Can anyone recommend any good books / websites regarding Edwardian life in Sunderland?   Rob.

I don't know about Edwardian Sunderland, but one of the best books about Sunderland is "Sunderland, River, Town & People" a history from the 1780s to 1988 when it was published. Hopefully the second volume of the book on Sunderland in the England's Past for Everyone series will be published soon. http://www.englandspastforeveryone.org.uk/home Stan Mapstone -----Original Message----- From: Robert Whiting <drralphenstein@yahoo.co.uk> To: Sunderland Genealogy <ENG-DUR-SUNDERLAND@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tue, 29 Dec 2009 18:32 Subject: [ENG-DUR-SUNDERLAND] Edwardian Sunderland.

Happy New Year to All. Max Eise Victoria Australia,

I hope it is not too far off topic to observe that Sir Ernest Gowers said of his book, 'Plain Words' and of Fowler's 'Modern English Usage' that they were the perfect books to keep in what he called the "Necessarium' because one could always be entertained and instructed for a few minutes, and put the book down without worry about losing the place. I mean it as a high compliment when I sat that this site is just the same. May I offer my best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the Listers who have gone to the trouble of helping me directly since I discovered this list, and the many others who have contributed indirectly to my knowledge and enjoyment of a great deal of local history and geography. And, of course, my most sincere thanks to the sitemaster. Bruce Dodd, Ottawa

Sunderland experts, Argyle House School There was some info on this school back in the list archives for 2004. Please could anyone confirm that the headmaster was once a William Major? This would be 1940-50's at a guess. Many thanks Rod _________________________________________________________________ View your other email accounts from your Hotmail inbox.

Merry Christmas! I wonder if any listers taking a break from last minute Christmas shopping may be able to help with a query relating to Bowling Green House, Sans Street, Sunderland. I've seen it on Rains Eye Plan but no little of its history - any information would be appreciated Many thanks Rob

Thank you again, Listers, for taking the time to share your extraordinary local knowledge. I believe that Northern Weekly Leader is the one, though I had never heard of it before (which proves nothing, of course). I thought the first word was North or North'n; and the last might be Leader or London; But I never thought of Weekly for the middle word. With your hint I went over the blurred handwritten original stroke by stroke, and concluded at length that it was indeed Weekly. Google confirmed that NWL was still publishing for some years after the clipping's date. All that fits fine with what I know of the people involved in the clipping's story. The List scores again! Thank you. Bruce Dodd Ottawa, ON

Hi All My Relatives lived in Ogden St Sunderland from the 1900's to about 1925, I believe it is now longer there, would anybody know anything about the Street, my father talked about an Abbatoir nearby? Thanks Allan Robson
