H i michael - please excuse typing - one arm in sling! did you look at census - if so what do you think it said? I know area around netherwitton quite well & relations farmed at coatyards si I immediately thought it referred to coltpark but it was transcribed coldpark & it certainly looks like that to me! if it is colt park they could well be mine as i know the family seemed to migrate toward blyth area but mariners widow also threw me! thanks for your help linda
