Northumberland / Re: Black's in Whittingham

Hi Dorothy This is Pat, Trevor's wife speaking.  As he said I have done most of the research on the Black family tree.  You ask about Robert.  I have tried to attach a photo of his gravestone which is in Whittingham churchyard.  (You might have found it for yourself by now anyway).  But the system won't send it as it appears to think it is too big but I've reduced it as much as possible.  It's the right size for an e mail so don't know what to suggest

It reads
Robert Black who died June 3 1903 aged 79 years and of Elizabeth Black his wife who died June 21 1864 aged 38 years also of Elizabeth Black his sister who died October 24 1897 age 67.
NB Elizabeth had an illegitimate daughter - haven't been able to trace the father.
Hope the photo opens OK.
Our family tree is on Ancestry - Black_Dunning_NettletonFamily_2010-3-7

Best Wishes Pat

Thank you Boo, very tantalising. Johnson name is mentioned on pages 15 and 18 according to the link you sent.

Hopefully when I am up in Alnwick in a couple of weeks I will be able to take a sneak at one of the copies at the bookshop within the old station. Provided of course that the copy they did have has not been sold!

Cheers

Philip

PS Just had a look, and they have 7 of the book in stock, but not one below £130  :'(

My wife bought the book from a seller on EBay.  It is not an original print which may be why the ones that you have seen are so expensive.  However it is a hard back and published in 1979 and cost approx £30.  As far as I am aware it is a full version of the original publication of 1895.  Trevor

Hi Trev123 and welcome
In order for our personal message system to work you need to make at least one more post.  Reply to this and with luck it will work.  You click on the green scroll under the user name.  If by any chance Dorothy's message got through to you that would be interesting to know but I think you will not be able to reply to it.
Andrea
Many thanks Andrea for your assistance. I have only received one message but not the follow up that was promised.
Regards
Trevor

Dorothy - William Black is my Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather. I have evidence that William was employed as a Shepherd on the Eslington Estate, near Whittingham at least from 1830. I recommend that you obtain a book on the internet titled Whittingham Vale, by David Dippie Dixon which was written in 1895. It refers to the history of the area and is well researched. William with 6 other families were living at High Barton. High Barton was demolished in the early 20th century. The family also lived at Middle Barton and Rothill. The latter was where the estate farm was based. I am interested in the period prior to 1830 and the reference to Berwick Moor Farm is interesting as the first born William was born in Wooler.
