    1. [ENG-DUR-SUNDERLAND] Low Haining Farm
    2. Bruce Dodd
    3. Hi Listers all: I have a photo of my father's cousin, Surtees Taylor, seated in a two-wheeled horse-cart whose mud-guard(?) is emblazoned "E J Taylor, Low Haining". Surtees was the youngest of several children (whose names I don't know yet), and was a particular pal of my dad's in the Northumberland Hussars. He married a Miss Lambert, according to The Echo. His mother was my grandmother's sister, Lizzie Grundon, married to a William Taylor, of Low Haining which, I believe, was near Houghton-le-Spring. Thinking to catch sight of that family line, I Googled Low Haining, and got only a recent Echo article about the region's newest "organic" farm, which mentioned only a name not Taylor. For all I know, Low Haining may be the name of a locality rather than of an individual farm. Does any of this ring a bell with anyone? I'd be glad of your help. In the same pursuit, I tried Waggonways, a site recently suggested on the List. During a fascinating evening with that site, I found no Low Haining, but I did find "Toronto". Hello??? What??
