Robert Wann bn 1802 bn at Rothley was married at Thornyburn about 1831 to a woman call Isabella.   In 1832 their son George  Wann was bn in Thorneyburn and the family moved to Gatehead .   I would appreciate any help in tracing the marriage.

Northumberland / Re: Spittal Dean in Tynemouth

My Mother in law lived in the Asylum   Now Mariners Homes on Tynemouth Road.   Spital Dene runs through Northumberland Park.  So Iimagine The person who stated Spital Dene Farm was right about the golf course

Good luck on your search,  Whorlton Church is a good hike from Newburn.   On the Ncle- Stamfordham Road just past the Jingling Gate Pub on the left at the next Cross Roads , on the way to the old Walbottle Colliery and Callerton.

Dear Sylvia
Im not a professional  researcher but I do have a good knowledge of the NE having lived there for 70 years.   St Oswald is Cof E and an early Christian Church stood there since 6 century.   This current is the 3rd on the site the church is at Heavenfield nr Hallington Hall nearest town is Corbridge.   Your folk come from Heworth and Whickham.   Heworth is about 6 miles SE of Newcastle on the Gateshead side.  Whickham is about the same dist. SW if Newcastle Whickham and Corbridge maybe 14 miles apart.   Your assumption is possible.   Certainly the names match up.

Sligo / Re: Moneygold
« on: Thursday 06 December 07 16:29 GMT (UK)  »
Dear Casey

I have been searching for 3 yrs for a Carns, Sligo, other than the one at Castleconnor
--are you saying there was one at Moneygold?     My grandfather left Sligo in 1895 to join the Royal Navy and served until 1919.   Enlisting he gave the name Patrick Kelly bn 26 Jun 1870 from Carns,  Sligo.   Later when marrying in Newcastle in 1901 he said his name was William Patrick Kelly age 25yrs. ---   6 yrs difference?  He called his 1st Son William Patrick Kelly bn 1902.     I have his  WW1 Medals and service record.

Where can I see if I can follow up on this NEW information?

I know about the Cottage at Wylam and the Puffin Billy and the Wylam Dilly  the two engines before the Rocket desgigned by George.   But the Cootage is still at West Moor  maybe Im mistaken about it being the birth place

In the "OLD DAYS" the coppers used to have a hand barrow to wheels up Borough Road to the "nick" in Saville St.,  when the drunks were past it from the New Quay, Chain Locker Pub and Others.    At one time the Police Chief who was in charge of the Fire Service as well sold a Fire Engine and bought a horse to ride around on?
