Hi Vicky, I'm in the middle of transcribing the 1861 census for Cotherstone, Hunderthwaite, Romaldkirk, Mickleton, Lunedale, Holwick & Eggleston. Off the top of my head, I seem to remember seeing various RAINE family members and I think Hodgson and Garthwaite as well. If you haven't got the info from this census about these families, let me know and I'll dig out my spreadsheet and forward the info on to you. If you haven't come across the FREECENS project before, it 'aims to provide a "free-to-view" online searchable database of the 19th century UK census returns' and you can see it at http://freecen.rootsweb.com/ Regards Anne ----- Original Message ----- From: <VLJoyce@aol.com> To: <ENG-DURHAM-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 05, 2004 7:44 PM Subject: [ENG-DUR] RAINE, SHAW, STOBBS, FORSTER, HASTWELL, BRADWELL, WATSON, HODGSON, GARTHWAITE > Hi I'm new to the list and wondered if I had any research links with other > members: > > RAINE Mickleton, Cotherstone, Darlington > > STUBBS/ STOBBS Cockfield, Hamsterley, Wolsingham, Barnard Castle, > Startforth areas > > SHAW Barnard Castle, Whorlton, Startforth > > HASTWELL Whorlton, Barnard Castle > > BRADWELL Rokeby, ?Alston (Cumberland) > > WATSON Hamsterley > > GARTHWAITE Hamsterley ? > > FORSTER Lynesack and Softly, Darlington > > HODGSON Cotherstone > > I am especially intersested in Cotherstone, NRY at present, and would love > any historical information.
