Stan: In addition to what we have both mentioned already, I have a note, in a pedigree which I have called "Davison of Whickham, Tanfield and Ryton" that a Jane Davison who lived 1772-1805 was "of Sister Wham". She was buried at Tanfield in 1805. Her father was John Davison (1742-), who was baptised at Whickham 1742/43 Mar 13, and who married at Ryton in 1771 to Isabel Nixon. Isabel died c1782/83 when Jane would have been aged about 10 or 11. Her father later re-married, at Ryton in 1787, to Mary Stokoe. Geoff Nicholson

All listers, I am looking for Ann (Wallace ) Black in the Cornforth, Sedgefield area in 1881. Her dau , Mary Wilson returned to Cornforth, Sedgefield, Durham for the birth of 1st child, Margaret in 1881. Ann may have been workng as a Domestic servant in a household. Ann was born in Scotland, 1814. She was previously found on Ancestry.com in the 1861 census with husband, John Black at Thornley, Durham. Afterwards, no sign of her. John died at Coxhoe Colliery in 1863. Any ideas on where to search for more records on Sedgefield ? Appreciated.
