Hi Deb I would think Northumberland Archives at Woodhorn may be interested in the Kirkwhelpington info. I had Hepple ancestors in KW until about 1870, I don't supose you have any names with your photos!

Hi Barbara I have a photo of every kid in the village circa 1903 but it was a very small place. In the 1950s my in laws were offered Orchard House opposite the church for £100.00 and when I asked why they turned it down was advised that it would be a return to the dark ages and had no appeal at all. I think tht investment might have survived the credit crunch! Other names are our own Batey,and Moffit Wilkinson and O Brien , Other girls I have pictures of are Mary Pearson and Bella Robson. I have loads of picturs of Kirkwhelpipngtoncharabanc trips in the 20s somewhere. There is a book called "In the Troublesome times" published by Spredden northern classics which collected ancecdotes from Cambo WI in the 1920s. I have checked the index as several of our family are quoted describing Kirkwhelpington village life eg guising at New Year. The Hepples in this book's index are Hepple of Black Heddon, Thomas and William. The book "Kirkwhelpington the lovely village of the Vale" mentions a Robert Hepple in 1843 at Woodbine Cottage. sorry that is all I could spot. Years ago I went to Morpeth library as i gave them pictures of people in service at Wallington and was shown a shelf of unindexed photos of the area in the cellar which hopefully survived last year's floods.

Thanks Deb. I purchased the book on KW last year and found it most interesting. Will look out for the other one.
