Would anyone know of a site that could give me the price of a pint of beer in 1870. Not that I`m expecting to be able to buy any at them prices, I`m curios as to how far 18 shilling would go on beer. Thanks for any help. George Carter in Whaley Bridge.

Hi folks, Just a quick thanks to all who replied to my Richardson message. ?There seem to be a few Thomas Richardsons around those birth dates but can't seem to find a Thomas Gibson Richardson, so not sure if one of the other is ours or not at this point. Thanks again Gail

In July 1870 beer was being sold at two shillings a gallon, or three pence a pint, but was more when sold by the bottle or glass. In January 1870 Ind, Coope were advertising beer, from 21 shillings to 35 shillings a kilderkin, or 18 gallons, and from 11s 6d to 18s 6d a firkin, or 9 gallons. In quart bottles 4s 6d a dozen exclusive of bottles.

West Auckland is not, in itself, a parish. It is actually part (the most populous part) of the parish of Auckland St Helen. My copy of the IGI (1992 microfiche edition) does not seem to include Auckland St Helen's register, but it does show a marriage between a Thomas Gibson Richardson and an Ann Chorlton at Hamsterley on 6 April 1820. Being aged "45" on the 1841 census implies a birth, if that age is correct within the limits of the 1841 rules, in the period 1791-96, and a baptism, presumably very shortly afterwards. Geoff Nicholson

Hi, Just joined the list as I am researching my husbands family tree.? I have Thomas Richardson married to Appelina Wilson, but am now trying to find information on Thomas' father named Thomas Gibson Richardson.? In 1841 he is with wife Ann and children and census shows he was 45, which would mean he was born around 1796, taking into account the rounding up or down the years?to the nearest five.? If anyone has access to West Auckland baptisms would it be possible to see if Thomas Gibson Richardson is there at all?? Thanks in advance for yor time Gail Green

Hello All Has anybody come across the Bishops Transcripts for St Nicholas Chuch, Hetton -le-Hole? I have looked but cant see then unless there linked with another church in the area? Thanks Allan Robson

Hetton-le-Hole was Houghton-le-Spring St. Michael and All Angels (-1832) and Hetton-le-Hole St. Nicholas (1832 -) http://nd.durham.gov.uk/recordoffice/dro.nsf/vwebplaces Stan Mapstone -----Original Message----- From: Allan Robson <allandrobson@btinternet.com> To: ENG-DURHAM@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, 1 Oct 2009 11:53 Subject: [ENG-DURHAM] Bishops Trancripts Hello All Has anybody come across the Bishops Transcripts for St Nicholas Chuch, Hetton -le-Hole?

Allan, If you go to the Durham part and between Tweedmouth and Usworth is "Unknown" that is Hetton Le Hole 1882-1835. Janis

Blythe Hurst isn't mentioned - the letters give out in 1810 and if I'm reading previous posts on him right, he was only born in 1806? Am I right in saying he married Euphemia Hurst? I have seen a set of trees that identify her with the Euphemia Hurst who was the daughter of James Hurst who married Christian McColvin - James is one of the correspondents in the series of letters but it says nothing about Euphemia other than her name. The compiler of the trees warned me it gets a bit speculative the further back they go but _if_ the earliest links (back in 1713-1723) are correct, then Blythe and Euphemia were 3rd cousins - then again perhaps you know more than I about the truth or not of that!

Anyone interested in the HURST family of Swalwell and Winlaton (from about 1741 to 1810) should know that there is volume of letters written to or by them in Bristol Record Office containing a wealth of family history information. The letters are catalogued as Bristol Record Office reference 39801/X/1, entitled: "Extract from the Epistolary Correspondence of Victory Purdy, written during period 1784-1810 photocopied". Victory PURDY (my 5 greats grandfather) was a preacher in the Bristol area, whose father, John PURDY was baptised in 1717 at Holy Cross, Ryton. John, a tailor, went to London and was thence drafted by John Wesley to help him preach in the mining villages round Bristol. In 1808, John's son Victory, with no local relatives, at long last succeeded in contacting his father's HURST relatives in Ryton parish and struck up a correspondence that contains a considerable amount of family history as the 2 sides told each other about their lives. This particular branch of the Hurst family starts with James HURST (a.k.a. HEARST) marrying Jane PURDY (John's sister) in 1741 at Ryton. Writers of the letters include - John HURST (b abt 1742 to James and Jane) (who had his leg amputated in 1761, we learn) - Nicholas HURST (bap 1751 to James and Jane) (a nailer / surveyor of nails - almost certainly he worked for Crowley Millington & Co. like many of his family. Married twice - 2nd wife defied all clichés by being a good step-mother) - John HURST (nephew to the above two, a clerk at Crowley Millington & Co and a captain in the militia - I think!) - James HURST (son of Nicholas, m Christian McCOLVIN, a whitesmith and Methodist preacher who indicates some slight degree of estrangement in the Hurst cousins between those committed to their religion and those not. They all meet professionally and they meet James at baptisms and funerals, but many do not see him otherwise) There are some 76 pages - all written by Victory PURDY so presumably his file-copies of the originals authored by both himself and the Hursts. My own summaries concentrate more on the Purdy family which goes back to John PURDY living at Stella in 1677, then Blaydon 1679 onwards. He's grandfather to the John PURDY who went to London and Bristol and looks like an incomer to the parish, from where I don't know but Whickham looks interesting. (Anyone with knowledge of him welcomed!) Just thought you might like to know since Bristol's not an obvious place to find information about a family in that area. Adrian B

Adrian: Do any of the papers mention Blyth Hurst? I'm not related but I came originally from Ryton and he is one of my heroes. Blyth was a Winlaton man who worked as a blacksmith, for Crowleys, and became self-educated in theology and in classical languages. It is said that when learning a language he would write the declensions of the verbs in chalk on the flame-guard of his furnace, and would absorb them as he got on with his work. That led on to his becoming ordained, one of the first "working men" to become an Anglican priest, and that in the mid-19th century. He first came to the notice of the Bishop of Durham when he wrote a pamphlet refuting the arguments of the chartists, who were very active in Winlaton. He subsequently was Vicar at Garrigill, a Parochial Chapelry within the parish of Alston in Cumberland, and later was the first Vicar of Collierley in Co Durham. By the end of his life he had honorary doctorates from several British and continental universities. Not bad for a Winlaton blacksmith! Geoff Nicholson

Hello, I am searching for the death of Thomas Calvert sometime between 1851 and 1859 in Crook, Durham. I now have 4 death certificates for Thomas Calverts who died in this time period in this area. None are "my" Thomas Calvert. Without gambling on another death certificate and getting another "wrong" Thomas Calvert, how do I find "my" Thomas Calvert. I am hoping to verify his parents' names from the death registration. Known information about "my" Thomas Calvert: 1851 Census: Crook and Billy Row Was 57 years old so born about 1794 in Yorkshire Grew up in Westmorland, Came to Durham to work in the mines Married Jane Birbeck at Brough-under-Stainmore, Westmorland on 28th May 1818 Died before his son's marriage in 1859 Any help greatly appreciated Sincerely, Carol Small Ontario, Canada
