Thanks

Was more than a bit embarrassed when i read my post back in the morning :-[

But people have helped me a lot which is cool!...........much appreciated

I know from my own research that my Gran Margaret Hunter Aisbitt b Springwell/Eighton Banks 9 July 1898 -

d Oct-Dec 1974  Ousten/Birtley

was married 1918 to George Bowbeer b 1895 - apprentice blacksmith - d Birtley 1953 Oct -Dec

and the sweet shop ( which i wanted to gather information about.....mebbes a bit unrealistic really in hindsight ) was on

Birtley Lane, north from Perkinsville Monument, and opposite the Grove, just before you get to

St. Joseph's Catholic Church

Anyway cheers from Downunder ......( rambling on and on )

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

Hi SooCat

Do you have any Aisbitt, or Bolam Hunter

Durham / my grans birtley sweet shop
« on: Wednesday 25 August 10 09:34 BST (UK)  »
I'm on a mission impossible  but before this thread self destructs

I would really appreciate some help

my grandparents were George Bowbeer born Birtley 1895 apprentice blacksmith/wheelright
and Margaret Hunter Aisbitt born Springwell 9th July 1898

i think my gran Margaret Hunter Aisbitt has a Robson family connection with eighton banks......i'm but doing my head in researching this from New Zealand with amore than a few missing links where does the "hunter" enter the equation?

anyway i know my grandparents had a sweet shop in Birtley Lane opposite the Grove aka old Birtley medical centre
( that you pretty much wanted to leave before they gave you the diagnosis )........a bit much like the most recent one where you wanted to throw yoruself in the new olympic sized swing pool at the bottom of Harris Bank

I never got to get free sweets or meet my grandad

Guess you've figured out i'm the one who escaped the asylum

Hi Jojo,

My name is Angela and my maiden name was Warren.  My father was the brother of Mary, married to uncle Jim Woodhead. 

As far as I know, there were Jim (Cowburn, took mother's maiden name as born out of wedlock), Lizzie, Mary, Emily, Maurice, John (my dad) and Dan.  Unfortunately I am not quite sure of the correct order of birth but all have now passed.

Aunty Mary and uncle Jim had quite a family including (and not quite sure of the order),

All above are living so don't post any of the above please.

If you would like more information contact me so it could be private.

Cheers

Angela Irwin, New Zealand (nee Warren)
