Listers, I found, in the Post Office Directory of 1858: Widdowfield and Dixon Gilpin House, Houghton le Spring Boarding School I looked up Gilpin House on Google, and found a Gilpin House in Houghton. In the website there was no mention of it still being a school. Can anyone give me some history of it being a school in 1858. James Widdowfield was married to Mary Dixon. Thanks for your time, Phyllis USA
