I am hoping someone can help me break down this brick wall. My gggranparents John Dunn and Catherine (Egan) spent most of their married life in Portsmouth Hamp. but there is no sign of them on the marriage index of Hampshire, I believe they may have married in Newcastle c1800/1805 As John Dunn a Shipwright claims to have been born in Newcastle upon Tyne c1780 Are there any marriage index's for Northumberland that someone could look up for me . Many thanks for any help. Ken Booth.

Does anyone know the whereabouts of any photos of the New Mills area? It is all modern town houses now. Thanks, Elizabeth

Many thanks Brian.

Does SKS know the location of Crawshay or perhaps Crawshaw Street in 1911. It appears at RG14/30450 RG78/1748A as Crawshaw but on a birth certificate of the same year as Crawshay. Many thanks Ruth in Hambledon, Hampshire "The Cradle of Cricket"

hello I am trying to trace a William Cracket (born c 1811 Heyle, Northumberland) I know that he married an Elizabeth (c 1810 Norham, Northumberland) so far I can only find them in 1861 in East Chivington I know of the following children 1. Thomas c1845 Lowick 2. Leonard Jun qtr 1847 Felkington 3. Robert Sep qtr 1850 Tweedmouth Can anyone find William's baptism? or William & Elizabeth's marriage? Many thanks Christel

Thank you for that, Christine. I didn't think of extending the IGI search to Scotland. As a result of that, I've found another son for Anthony and Elizabeth (with Kirsopp as a middle name), and have discovered that both Anthony and his 2 sons studied medicine at Edinburgh University. I'm still looking for their ancestors and any earlier connections with Devon.

Hello, I'm new to this list and new to genealogy in the North East, and I need a bit of help. Is anyone studying a branch of the LAKE family in Newcastle or in Northumberland as a whole? I'm researching all those LAKE branches which appear to have originated in Devon (the other main county for LAKE origins being Norfolk). From Devon, they spread to many of the English counties, including as far north as Yorkshire, Lancashire and Westmorland, as well as to Wales, Channel Islands, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. But I'm now looking at a family which moved INTO Devon in the late 18th/early 19th century from Newcastle upon Tyne, and I'm trying to find out if their origins were in the north or whether their ancestors had once lived in Devon and the descendents were now returning. Anthony Procter LAKE, son of William Samuel LAKE and Phoebe, was baptized 26 Feb 1784 at All Saints, Newcastle. He bacame a surgeon, I think with the Royal Navy. He married Elizabeth [surname unknown], who was also from Newcastle. At least two of their children (Mary Phoebe and Eliza) were born in Cornwall and their son William Charles was born at Teignmouth, Devon, in 1825. In 1841, the family was living at Teignmouth, where Anthony died in 1843. William Charles became a GP, married a Teignmouth girl, and raised at least 11 children in the town. Anthony's father, William Samuel LAKE, was the son of William Lake and was baptized 14 Jul 1755 at St John's, Newcastle. He had a brother named Proctor Lake (baptized 21 Feb 1759), but I don't know where this name Proctor comes from. I've looked at all the IGI entries for LAKEs in Newcastle, and I have some other possible siblings for William Samuel and Proctor, but I have not been able to identifiy their father William. If these names are familiar to anyone on this list, I would love to hear from you. And if anyone knows of any link between the LAKEs of Northumberland and Devon, please do get in touch.

I would like to thank, Nivard, Heather, & Jill for trying to help me with my research re the above marriage unfortunately I have tried all the ways suggested but their suggestions I am grateful for i have thanked them off list but wanted to thank them here to show people are willing to help out if they possibly can i will just have to keep digging and scrolling I found what i did with them with plenty of scrolling pages as each time my Landles was spelt different such as Laudles then Lumsdan so it only needs a change of a letter or two and there you have found it.

Hi Evelyn Unfortunately my Elizabeth Kirkley was born 100 years before yours, but in the same part of the country. As you say Hall is one of the most common surnames in England. regards Paul Paul Andrews 07977 012203 http://www.facebook.com/spandrews ________________________________ From: Evelyn MacCallum <evelyn@llanreath.eclipse.co.uk> To: northumbria@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, 4 April, 2010 21:02:01 Subject: [NMB] Hall / Kirkley Hello Paul Though both Hall and Kirkley seem fairly common names and the dates you gave aren't compatible, I just wonder if there is a connection between my Kirkley / Hall families and yours. In my line, George Kirkley married Elizabeth Hall, daughter of Ralph Hall of Lanchester, in February 1808 , by licence in Heworth, Co Durham. They had a daughter, Elizabeth, born 1811, baptised in Heworth, 03 Nov1811. I have no further information about this Elizabeth. Probably this will just complicate things but there may be a family link somewhere.
