My father and I have played many a game of snooker in The Comrades Club.

Thank you one and all for your help and reading through my miss spelling (twice!) Of my home town.

So it was The Links.

Thanks

Northumberland / Where did Sydenham Terrace, Whitney Bay go?
« on: Sunday 28 August 16 13:58 BST (UK)  »
I have an address of Sydenham Terrace in Whitey Bay in 1939 but cannot find it.  I suspect it became The Avenue off Marine Avenue.

I used to live just round the corner 1959-1976 so this is driving me mad.

Please help.

Durham / Re: Ebchester Low Mill and the Wardles

Hi,  Thank you so much for sharing the photograph.   I haven't as yet got a George Wardle and Elizabeth Peacock on my tree but I will do some digging.  I have found some newspaper cuttings linking John Wardle at the Mill in Ebchester to Brandling Village in Jesmond, Newcastle.  He moved to Ebchester in 1839.   Lynne

Hi
Thank you for your post.  I haven't heard of a paper mill in Ebchester - there were 3 mills - the Poss Stick Mill (sometimes referred to as the Low Mill) which was next to the river, the Woollen Mill & the Corn Mill.  There was a Paper Mill along the river at Shotley Bridge.

Hi McTalbert

Thank you so much for posting the photo - it's great, I shall add it to my tree.
I believe the Poss Stick Mill is the one with the wheel attached. So probably the one set back
to the right would be the Woollen Mill?

Best Regards
Lynne

Hi Lynne
Thank you for your post - I was thrilled to read it.  Thank you too for your kind offer.  Questions - where do I start???  My biggest one is the history of the Mill.  I have evidence of the Wardles being there from 1839 but I have no idea when they actually began their business.  I have read that the Mill ceased working in the 1920's and the wheel was sold for scrap in the 30's but have not been able to find out anything else, so any scraps of information would be wonderful.
Regards
Lynne

Hi Brian

Thanks for all of this.  I agree in the not guessing and it is good to get another view of the records.  Onwards with the building blocks we have.

Thanks

Tony

Thanks briann1

We had missed that too so again most helpful.

You haven't by chance progressed backwards from Thomas Havelock born 1754 have you?

Thanks again

Tony
