In the 1911 Census I have a relative and family living whose address is given as Elmfield House, Rowlands Gill. So far I have stablished this is the Winlaton area and whilst the name Elmfield appears quite common I canot find the house or what it was.There wouldn't have been much money around and I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a lodging house. The full reference for the Census is as follows: RG14: Piece 30521: Ref. RG13PN30521 RG78PN1750 RD557 SD4 ED14 SN173 Sadly, being a pure Geordie, I never ventured much across the river so my knowledge is disgracefully limited. The identity of the House is not really important - I'm just curious and wondered if our experts (sounds like you Brian) could fill me in. I know this son of my G grandfather to have been of a restless nature and this Census shows his 3rd profession. Family information provides me with his later having a fish & chip shop in Dinnington until he and the family finally moved to Canada in 1927. He died in 1950 and even my canadian relatives don't have as much information as I so I am just trying to fill out the picture for all of us. Many thanks David Lawson
