The 1841 - 1871 census for my ancestors put Wapping in Newcastle (near to Benton or Long Benton) it was a street of mining cottages near to the railway. There is also a place called Wapping according to the census in Bournmoor, Co Durham (now Tyne and Wear) it is also a mining area. A clue would be what your ancestors occupation was. I wondered where the name Wapping came from !

Susan & Carole: Of course, I knew there was another Wapping in Co Durham - and should have seized on Wapping near Burnmoor straight away. Both the Northumberland and the Co Durham Wappings were pit villages and some may recall the old folk-song, "Footy against the wa' "once recorded by Owen Brannigan, and referring, I always assume, to the Benton/Shiremoor Wapping - "Now Wapping Square's a tiny place. The hooses are but sma'. But in them yet there's room enough for Footy Agin' the Wa'. There's High Footy and Low Footy and Footy Agin' the Wa' - and when ye get to wor toon end, there's Footy Agin' the Wa' ". I'm not sure about that word "tiny". It may have been "canny" or something else. Having just met my own son and grandson (aged 9), who had both travelled from Derbyshire this morning, for an early lunch in Newcastle before they went off to St James's Park while my wife and I returned home to listen on the radio to a very welcome 4-2 win over Southampton, "Footy agin' the Wa' " is much in my mind !
