Since I've just joined this list and answered someone else's question, perhaps I should mention my own Durham interests: MEABURN - Bishopton - before about 1820 MEABURN - Norton (near Stockton) - a few years around 1860 METCALFE - Bishopton - about 1820-1850 METCALFE - Greatham - around 1850 Connected names include ROBINSON and STEPHENSON, but I know less about them. Most of ancestors are from Yorkshire, but there are also lines in Perthshire (Scotland) and Co. Armagh (Ireland). There's a list of the main surnames and counties at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~arthurk/ - sorry there's nothing else there at present, but I'm working on it! Arthur Kennedy
