I am fairly new to this list (amongst others) and have been lurking in the background to see what is happening. I thought I might post my interests now. MAIN (possibly known as TREMAIN) - Ashington, Cramlington. They moved up from Calstock, Cornwall during the 1860's. Anyone who knew Ashington from 1920 - 1970 (at least) will know of Main's of Ashington cycle and motorbike shops - that my Dads maternal line. TIPPET - Cramlington. They also moved up from Calstock, Cornwall but my great Grandma is down as coming from Tavistock, Devon on the 1881 Census. MURRAY - Ashington, Longhirst Station, Blyth, Heworth, Elsdon, Otterburn - Dad's paternal line. Possibility of links with Hawick but unconfirmed. LUMSDEN - Forest Hall (paternal great Grandma's sister married a George Lumsden from Forest Hall. The Lumsden's owned a fairly sizeable garage from what my Dad remembers. If I can trace them I might just get my Dad's Grandma's maiden name. WOOD - West Sleekburn, Durham, Chester-le-Street,Stakeford LEATHARD - West Sleekburn WATTS - Coventry - Mum's maternal line NORTON - London (not sure which part yet), Nottingham, Coventry - Mum's paternal line GLENN & PAYNE - Coventry - Mum's great great and great, great, great MORGAN, WALTERS, SAT(T)IN, LANCEY, HINKS & BRITCHER - Glamorgan and Monmouthshire Lesley Morgan (nee Murray) Member of Cornwall FHS Member of Northumberland & Durham FHS Member of Coventry FHS
