Title: Bickers Hill?
Post by: snowball on Wednesday 04 May 05 00:03 BST (UK)

Hi,
Trying to track down where my gggg grandmother Ann Kiers/Keirs was born. Have her (married name Bulmer) in the 1851 census in South Hetton, Durham,  HO 107/2392/346 with the following details:

Richard Bulmer, 55, miner, b Northumberland, Walker
Ann Bulmer, 49, b Northumberland, Bickers Hill
Children Joseph, Ann, Richard, Robert

Can anyone tell me where this is? Perhaps I misread it when I transcribed it a while ago.
Thanks
Rob

I wonder if it could possibly be Byker Hill, which is not far from Walker, both districts of Newcastle upon Tyne

Good idea.

I like it, especially since there's an Ann Keers christened in Newcastle All Saints in 1803.

Thanks
Rob

Or Battle Hill, Wallsend?

The only Bickers Hill is in Suffolk - any possibility it could be that, ignoring the NBL in the census?

Think almost certainly Northumberland. But Battle Hill is a possibility. Thanks
