i have found my gt grandparents on the 1911 census in cramlington, both worked at a brick factory,
Francis Ellen Langman lived at 6 Double Junction Row Cramlington and was a brick factory girl
Thomas John Williams lived at 18 East Wood Row Cramlington and was a brick factory engineman
does anyone know where these 2 streets are and where abouts the brick factory was in cramlington or surrounding area?
I live in the cramlington area and those streets are not here today and i cant find a map to locate them
thankyou lou

Hi lou,
most likely your local library would have some old maps and could help... worth asking them as you are on the spot.

Hi Lou
I think you may find a map here http://gis.durham.gov.uk/website/interMAP. If you enter the post code NE23 6XQ and choose the 1960 1969 map you should be able to see Double Junction just to the east. It is actually East Cramlington.

lou,
From the maps Gary is directing you to, you will notice that there were two brickworks, one to the east of Double and Single Junction Rows, and one to the west ( just east of the old Cramlington Waggonway, today the B1505 , with A189-the Spine Rd, alongside it.)
Many brickworks were alongside a coal pit- plenty of clay etc left over from the "sinking" of the pit, and plenty of coal for ovens etc.

Hello Mrs Louis, I read your message and was amazed to see my Grandparents (Frances Langman and Thomas Williams) on your question. I am Connie Baxter (nee Williams) I am the daughter of their eldest son Thomas Williams, I was born and brought up in Cramlington. I have done a lot of my family tree. I have got back to the 1700's with the Langman/Hendy's but not very far with the Williams's. My cousin David Nicholson (Irene Williams's son) has done a lot too, he and his wife Helen went to the village in Wales where our Grandfather was born but didn't get very far. I'd love to know who you are, and what relation you are to me. I suspect by your name you are a member of my aunt Ella's family and I can remember my uncle Louis from when I was young. I'd love to hear from you.

There is a Facebook site called 'Cramlington Past' which has some photos of the East Cramlington brickworks. We used to play there in the 70s, on the site of the colliery.

The site where Double Junction and Single Junction Row were is now an area of planted woodland on the west side of the B1326 between East Cramlington and Seaton Delaval.There are a few public footpaths through it.

My gg grandparents,Henry and Hannah Clough lived at 7 Double Junction Row,Henry probably worked at the nearby Lamb Pit or possibly at Seaton Delaval colliery which was only a short walk away.They probably knew each other.

Hi Steve
They probably did as neighbours were a lot closer in those days and relied on each other more than they do today. It is amazing what we can find out these days.
Do you now if there are any photos/pictures etc around of that area from around the 1890-1920 era? I have never been to Durham/Northumbrland, even though my father came from Durham. We hope to vistit next year sometime after we retire but most of the houses my family lived in don't exist anymore.
Regards
Sandra

hi Sandra,as you say the houses don't exist anymore,its a wooded area but you can walk through it from the nearby Lamb St.I will PM you concerning the photos.

Hi Steve,
This might be a shot in the dark but I was wondering waht the birth dates off your grandparents are, to see if I have them on my family tree.
My name is Jemilla (Russell) Clough- my Grandparents are George Evans Clough and Beatrice Annie Forster.
This address under this subject appears a lot on census records - double junction row; my family are connected to Cramlington, Seaton Deleval, Seaton Sluice, Burradon and Longbenton.
I hope to hear back from you,
Jemilla

Hi, folks! Just found this thread (and in fact, the forum itself!) by Googling "Double Junction Row", as I'm researching the Tetley family, who lived in that street circa 1916-onwards - the Tetleys were my Great-Great Grandparents on my Paternal Grandmother's family - William Henry Tetley, and his wife, Sarah Ann...
Does anyone have any information on what number house they lived in, please?
They lived in Cross Row, Cramlington, before this (c1901 Census), and had one sone (Mark, KIA WW1) and five daughters, though I suspect most of the girls would probably have been married (or at least courting) by the time the Tetleys moved to Dbl Junc' Row... Does anyone know where Cross Row is/was? It isn't named on the maps that are linked to this thread - I wonder if it was further west, perhaps?
Any pointers would be most welcome!
