Hi Marjorie, I am looking for more information on your Isabella Steele. We believe that is the name of our gg-grandmother. Ours is supposed to have been born in about 1829 in Glascow Scotland. She supposably married a Robert Robertson and one of her children was a John Steele Robertson born Sept. 11, 1876. Any matches?

My Steels it would appear all came from Ford, in Northumberland. My gt. gt. grandfather was Richard Steel married to Marjory Robison and they had several children namely, George, Joseph, Phillias, Eleanor, Isabella and Alice. George was a nurseryman, market gardener and specialised in pansies and violas. He named them after family and friends. One of the violas being called Frances. So some of the names are the same but at the moment I don't have any connection with Durham. Happy Hunting.
