Title: Do you have ancesters in Gateshead Fell 1886?
Post by: SooCatt on Tuesday 31 January 06 11:54 GMT (UK)
I have the Parish Magazine for Gateshead Fell 1886. Included at the end of the volume are the parish notices and accounts.

If you think you may have had any family in the area at the time I will be happy to look through it.

There are christenings, marriages and burials and also donations by parishioners are noted in the accounts.

There are also various committees mentioned, so even if you don't expect a BMD in 1886 there may be a mention of an ancestor who was perhaps a member of the 'Young Men's Improvement Society' or maybe yours is Mr Foot who was paid 5s for 'making a tank'   ???

Never get tired of looking at it so let me know, however vague you think your connection may be.

Are there any Thompsons or Brewises. Brewises played the organ at he chapel so probably not?

Thanks for the offer

Hi Peter

There is just one Thompson mentioned and I'm afraid it won't be any use to you as there is no initial but in December 1885 'Miss Thompson (along with some others)was thanked for providing teas for the Mother's Union'

Sorry that's it!

Yes please.  Bell is a pretty common surname but it's worth a try.
I know.  I have them too  ;) If you make any connection with Bell's from Egglestone get in touch.

Anyway here are the one's from the book - just in case...

Burial April 3rd 1886 Robert Bell 63years Church Road
Burial April 7th 1886 Thomas Bell 19 years Church Road

I had a quick look at the 1881 census and Robert and Thomas are in Church Row, father and son.  Robert born Cramlington, his wife Mary Ann and all children born Newcastle.
Anyway if they don't fit yet, file it because you never know....

Happy hunting  ;)

Title: Re: Do you have ancesters in Gateshead Fell 1886?
Post by: SooCatt on Monday 19 February 07 19:18 GMT (UK)
Hi Jacqui
Welcome to Rootschat  :)

The book that I have only covers baptisms, marriages and burials during the year 1886.

There were no Fairlamb's hatched, matched or dispatched during that year, however there is an Arthur Johnson bap 24.10.1886 Sheriff Hill

I know he isn't the one you're after but maybe he'll fit somewhere.

Good luck

Susan

Hi SooCatt

My surname interests are SMALL, NORMANDALE, MACKINGS - do they get a mention?

And yes, I also have a BELL - my 3xgreat grandmother Dorothy - but apart from her marriage to Charles SMALL in Jan 1808 no definite links to anyone else!

Hi I am especially interested in the history of Chowdene (Chowdean) area of Low Fell part of Gatershead Fell does your magazine have any reference's to those places.
Title: Re: Do you have ancesters in Gateshead Fell 1886?
Post by: SooCatt on Thursday 12 April 07 18:17 BST (UK)
Hi Dasher
Sorry for the delay in replying - I've been off-line all week re-tiling the bathroom!

The following entries specifically mention Chowdean

George Brown buried 28.1.1886 aged 47years Chowdean
John Forster buried 8.3.1886 aged 12 years Chowdean
Elizabeth Rhodes buried 4.12.1885 aged 53years Chowdean

If you have any specific names that you'd like me to check for I'd be happy to.  Some entries only mention a street name or in some cases just a house name.

Sorry again for the delay.

Hi Mrs Doc
Sorry for the delay in replying, I have had some computer problems.  There is one Gardner mentioned and one Gardener. I have included both.

John Nevin Gardner of Low Fell baptised 7th February 1886

Nellie Gordon Gardener of Church Road buried 5th January 1886 aged 22 months.

Hope this is of some use.  ;)

A thought has crossed my mind (don't know how it's a bomb site in there !) is there anything in your book about Edgar, Davison or Finlay? And out of curiosity how did you come by the book anyway, it sounds like fascinating reading, or maybe just for dipping into occasionally.
Cheers,
mrs doc
Title: Re: Do you have ancesters in Gateshead Fell 1886?
Post by: SooCatt on Thursday 26 April 07 09:26 BST (UK)
Hi again Mrs Doc
There are no Finlays or Edgars but there are two Davisons.  Also two Davidsons - with a 'd' - noted them all just in case.

Andrew Davison buried 15.4.1886 of Blue Quarries age 26years
Isabella Davison buried 1.12.1885 of Sheriff Hill aged 72 years

Jane Davidson buried 15.9.1886 of Low Fell aged 86 years
Thomas Davidson buried 15.8.1886 of Plantation Cottage aged 19 years.

The book came through my family, my Mum's side, though absolutely none of my ancestors get a mention!  It is actually the Parish Magazine for each month bound into a volume at the end of the year.  I think it was quite common as I have seen other similar ones for different parishes.  I think, though don't take this as gospel, that the actual magazine was a national publication by the church and each parish added their own notices at the end.  There is mention in these notices for people to put their names down for the bound volume and the payments made to the book binder.
It is a fascinating snippet of history.

Susan

Gateshead Fell was an area South of Gateshead itself.  It's all merged together now but was once a separate township.  I checked anyway though, just in case, but there were no Howards or Malleys.

It can make you feel sad sometimes can't it.  I remember looking in the burials for a Parish in Durham and came across a page containing 11 burials and EIGHT of them were children under three years old.

Welcome to Rootschat by the way.  You'll find it a friendly and informative place to be.

Thanks for the welcome!

I'm not researching my own family tree (my mother has beaten me to that one!) but I moved to Gateshead and started to look at the history of my house and found names of people who lived here over the last couple of hundred years.  Through that I got in touch with a man in New Zealand who was searching for his ancestors - one of whom used to live in my house about 150 years ago!

So now, I'm helping him out with the Gateshead side of his family.

As I'm here, I'm happy to help anyone else with Gateshead relatives, particularly if they lived near Gateshead Fell (Sheriff Hill, Sodhouse Bank, Old Durham Road, Church Road, Durham Road etc). I can wander around and photograph things if anyone has addresses or headstones that they want to see.


Similarly, if anyone knows of any Oliver's in the Gateshead area I'd be thrilled to hear from you!

Sorry, I should probably make a new thread for this! I'll do that now ...

Hello Oldhippyone

The names you gave do not appear among the Baptisms, marriages or burials but there is a mention of Hutchinson within the annual accounts.

Paid to Mr J Hutchinson £19 15s for salary

It's not much but it might fit somewhere.

No sorry it's just as I've written it.  Could he have been the vicar?  I've just had a quick look through the book and I can't find confirmation of what he was paid a salary for.  The Rector is always referred to as just that 'the Rector' and not named anywhere that I can see.  There are only two salaried paid from the church accounts though - the one to 'your' Mr Hutchinson and £10 to Mr Yarrow.

Susan, I am originally from Gateshead Fell, and was a member of St John's in my youth. My wife also was a member - we were married there in 1958.

My parents, and my grandmother, were married there, and my great-great grandfathe owned the original Three Tuns.

Could you search your document for HALL, WALES, GRAHAM, or PARKINSON?

I'd appreciate it. In return, in 1983, my daughter copied the pertinent names from the St John's registers (they were still at thr Rectory in those days). So basically they are the HALL and WALES, but the maiden names are there so I could search for any you require.

Incidentally, my aunt still attends st John's.

Regards, Rob Hall, Katy, TEXAS

Hello
Your offer is very kind - however I actually have no family in this area, and no connection to the church there.  The book I have was my mother's and I think she got it from an Aunt who lived there for a time.  The book only concerns a very short period but I have a Hall and a Wales for you.

Margaret Jane Hall   Sheriff Hill  baptised 15th June 1886
Margaret Jane Hall   Sheriff Hill  buried 28th September 1886 4 months

Charles Patterson Wales   Sheriff Hill  baptised 20th June 1886

Hope it's useful  :)

Susan, Thanks for the info.

My father told me about Charles Patterson Wales, emigrated to Canada, but at the start of WW1 he came back to the Uk, and was killed in action. I remember his widow, son Fred, and grandaughter Helen.

Hi Rob

I can't be much help I'm afraid as all I have is a book which is a compilation of the Parish Magazine for the year 1886.  (The book had belonged to my Grandmother)

There is a mention of a Margaret Jane Hall in the baptism and burial records which I note here for you in case she is related:

Margaret Jane Hall  Sheriff Hill baptised 15 June 1886
Margaret Jane Hall Sheriff Hill buried aged 4 months 28 September 1886

Susan, being from Sheriff Hill, and a 'strong' member of St John's, could you send me a copy of the book you mentioned?

In 1986, my daughter, (who happened to be born in Africa), copied the births, and marriages, of the HALL's' and WALES',

Prior to 1890 the HALL's were not from Sheriff Hill (maybe Felling/Heworth), but my g.g.grandfather (Foster Wales) was the original owner, of the Three Tuns pub. And when he died, his wife Isabella ran the pub!

Can you see if you have anything for Crone.  My Gt Grandfather lived on what is now Durham Rd,  I know there is the Statue opposite the P.O which is for his cousin William Crone who died in the Boer War 20.11.1901.  Do your records show anything else.

I have the Parish Magazine for Gateshead Fell 1886. Included at the end of the volume are the parish notices and accounts.

If you think you may have had any family in the area at the time I will be happy to look through it.

There are christenings, marriages and burials and also donations by parishioners are noted in the accounts.

There are also various committees mentioned, so even if you don't expect a BMD in 1886 there may be a mention of an ancestor who was perhaps a member of the 'Young Men's Improvement Society' or maybe yours is Mr Foot who was paid 5s for 'making a tank'   ???

 

Never get tired of looking at it so let me know, however vague you think your connection may be.

Susan

Hello

There is a baptism for a Robert Nevin Bolam of Kell's Lane , baptised 24th October 1886.

Also, I don't know if this is of any interest, but there is a mention in the accounts of a Mr. Hunter who was paid £3 10s for a new bookcase and also £3 9s for repairs.  Maybe he was a carpenter?

SooCatt,
    My father, Robert William Hall was baptised at St John's (1914), my mother-in-law Margaret Parkinson was baptised at St John's (1906). They were married (obviously not to each other), 1935 Dec, and 1933 Feb respectively.

My grandmother Violet Wales married at St John's, to Robert Hall (1913 Dec). Also my maternal grandparents Joseph Wales/Roseanne Hall (maybe at St Edmund's circa 1913).

My wife and I, Margaret Graham, and Robert William Hall, were baptized, 1938 and 1936 respectively, and married at St John's in 1958 Oct, by the Reverend Cartwright.

Now to the question, do you have anything in the old 1886 report, with the names Wales, Parkinson, or Hall

I still visit St John's every time I come back to the UK.

Best regards,   Rob Hall, Katy, TEXAS

Don't worry it's not a problem.  Trust me you don't have to be particularly senior to have a senior moment  ;D

Unfortunately no parents names are included.  I have included all the information which is included in the announcement.  Not a terrific amount I know, but a starting point for further investigations maybe.  :)

One of my familes SELLERS ( or SELLARS) arrived in Gateshead from Barnsley around 1884 and lived for a while in Church Road, near to the lunatic asylum and the church. The father was called Amarias, so that should stand out but I think they were chapel folk.  Any hits?
