Hello All, This is the first posting from a long time lurker! As the Herringtons were mentioned it prompted me to post one of my great genealogy mysteries. My gg grandparents Thomas robert Cavanagh and Hannah Tweedle, both worked and lived at Harrington Hall, Silksworth. They married 14 May 1884 at the Houghton-le-Spring Registry Office. Hannah was a domestic servant and Thomas an Agricultural labourer at the hall. My main question is has anyone ever heard of Harrington Hall at Silksworth? I have found a Haraton Hall and a Herrington Hall, but both are not near Silksworth. Also what would be the likelihood that Hannah went from East Hetton/Kelloe where she was born/baptized to Low Rawgreen, Hexham for the 1881 census where she the domestic servant to a single man farming a 16 acre lot then back to Silkworth to be married in 1884. It just seems to be a bit unusal. The age of Hannah on the census is a couple of year out but it is the only match unless her name is spelt completely incorrectly. Any advice anyone has would be greatly apreciated.

One of my Godmothers-in-law used to live in East Herrington. It is not far out of Sunderland, on the main road to Durham (A690). Tim S. --------------------------------- Moving house?
