Hi Charles, Only starting my husbands tree and so far not found an Esther Bainbridge but will keep your contact details. Bainbridge was and is a very popular name in and around the north east.

Hi Anne-Marie and Charles I have been following your emails with interest, as I have Harrisons and Bainbridges in my family tree, but unfortunately no connection, or is there. I suppose if one goes back far enough there might be. My Bainbridges (1800's) came from Middleton In Teesdale, Durham, with Rumney family connections. The Harrisons are a little bit more difficult to trace, Dorothy Harrison (1827) married into the Carr family, her father Ralph (1801) came from Washington, Durham.
