Anybody come accross any Nattresses in Northumberland
-
Yes. Irving Nattrass played for Newcastle United in late 70s/early 80s and I think Barry Nattrass was in my brother's class in school (Hexham) around the same time. It is not a common name, but it is here and there. Not sure where Barry lived - may have been Newbrough, but would need to check.

Thanks for that, I only found I had them in the family a few days ago
-
Consider yourself lucky it wasn't Robsons, Armstrongs, Telfers or Murrays. The Tyne valley is thick with them! Good luck with your hunt. I am happy to help in any way I can, but not sure what help I can be. I'm currently living in Cambs, but visit my Mum in Newcastle regularly.
-
I also know there were Nattresses living in the Forest Hall Area of East Newcastle as few were in my school. Think Forest hall is classed as being in the parish of Benton and was classed as Tynemouth for registration of Births etc :)
Hope it helps and good luck with your searching

Hi Catswhiskers!
My mother was a Nattress from Northumberland, but the family was originally from Durham (Shotton, Cassop, Darlington) early 1800s

My direct line came from the Allendale area of Northumberland and emigrated in 1849 to Lafayette Co, Wisconsin, U.S.A. I have been working on this for some time and have connected all known Nattrass' and related families in the valley. Let me know if I can help. Laurel

Hi catswhiskers,
this is my first post. Hope my bit of personal rememberance is of some help.
When i was a child in SHIREMOOR in the 1950`s the local grocers shop was run by a family called NATTRESS,
(i am assuming it was same as your spelling).
We lived in a flat rented from Mr NATTRESS who was a local landlord. Can`t remember first names but if u think this family could be linked could prob find out as a relative has connections to local sheltered housing which can be a fund of local info via residents.
The address would be ANN ST SHIREMOOR (or possibly MORLEY PLACE) half a mile down the road from the village of EARSDON.
-
This sounds rather promising as I only knew where they were about fifty years ago, I remember my father sating somebody had a shop it wouls help if I could get names
Thanks a lot
-
Will do what i can. May take a few days.
Forest Hall by the way is approximately 6miles from Shiremoor.
The first name Harvey is circulating in my grey matter but this is not to be trusted these days. Will try to find info re any surviving Nattress`s but of course cannot promise.
-
Thanks a lot Slogger looking forward to hearing from you

My Nattrass ancestors were from around the Billy Row, Brancepeth area of Durham, England. Later at Shotton and Cassop/Coxhoe.
Also spelt Nattress Natress etc :)

Hello all, does anyone know of a Mary Ann Nattrass/Nattress who may have married into a Wheatley family from Whickham, Co. Durham? (Sorry I don't have any idea of dates -- just verbal history... :'( Thanks! Pat

I remember my Mam talking about a fellow by the name of Harry Nattress.
They worked together in Hexham during the late 1940's.
Mam was a waitress at the Hexham Station Cafe'
Harry was a bus driver or a conductor on the Hexham bus company.
That's about all I remember.
