Sorry about the mis-spelling I was about to send another e.mail to correct this when I saw your reply As to Bywell, I have this information from a good source and I am sure that way back when there would have been a sizeable village or indeed villages to supply the ironwork needed by the Reivers etc. Marg --- On Wed, 30/9/09, NEGenealogy@aol.com <NEGenealogy@aol.com> wrote: > From: NEGenealogy@aol.com <NEGenealogy@aol.com> > Subject: Re: [NMB] Bishops Transcripts > To: northumbria@rootsweb.com > Date: Wednesday, 30 September, 2009, 4:10 PM > > In a message dated 30/09/2009 15:55:01 GMT Daylight > Time, > kenmar.white@btopenworld.com > writes: > > I am sure that Bedlington comes under Houghton Church > Mike.

What makes you think that the ironwork for the Reivers came from Bywell? I've heard this said previously but I'm not aware of any documentary or archaeological evidence.

I can tell you which book I read this in but I surely I would be breaking the copywrite laws and you always ask us not to do that on this site so I think we will leave this topic at that.
