Hello Do you have an address to search for, or are you looking in general ? "Gateshead" is a large area to search. (I know I have tried it ) would be beneficial if you knew which part in advance! Also what other areas are you wishing to look at ?Choosing where to do your research would be more beneficial, if you could combine your research to one site, to maximise your success! Have you got some History of the name you are searching for ? Gateshead was in Co Durham before 1874, so you can access all the census from "Durham Archives" and also "City of Durham Library" both can be pre booked which is advisable, stating what you would like to look at ! Parish records can also be looked at for the whole of County Durham ( this is the link ) http://website.lineone.net/~pjoiner/genuki/DUR/Gateshead/index.html http://website.lineone.net/~pjoiner/genuki/DUR/ "Durham Archives" have a very good Restaurant and also somewhere to eat a packed lunch, the "Car Park" is available on a Sat and evenings (it is difficult on weekdays as the "County Hall (where it is) , a very large building with lots of staff. On a Sat there is a Park-and-ride system from "Count Hall" into Durham City (5 mins ride) for £1.00 per care (very good) the library is in "Durham" also has the census info + internet connection , for members !!!

Could some kind person advise us as to where we would go to search the 1871 census for Gateshead and surrounding area? Would we be able to search the 1871 census for Caernarfon, Wales from that Durham site?

Hello, Further to the message I have just posted ! I should have said "Gateshead" was in "Co Durham" before 1974!!!! not 1874 (used to writing 1800) Also a good one to look at http://www.familia.org.uk/services/england/durham.html Carole Robinson ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Robinson" <brian@robinson8298.fsnet.co.uk> To: <ENG-DURHAM-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 06, 2004 9:29 PM Subject: Re: [ENG-DUR] Travelling to Gateshead; seeking advice > Hello > Do you have an address to search for, or are you looking in general ? > "Gateshead" is a large area to search.
