Northumberland / Re: Laverick Hall Farm - Northumberland, on the south east side of Blyth
« on: Tuesday 12 September 23 13:57 BST (UK)  »
I'm working on the Rowell family from my late father in law, Dr Henry Snowden Rowell. It seems that the relevant hall is certainly Laverock Hall, now Laverock Hall Farm, south west of Blyth at a roundabout between the A192 and A1061. Laverick Hall, south of Hebburn is a more substantial structure.
My only (unconfirmed) Laverock reference is Joseph Rowell, 1716-1776, who married his second wife Elizabeth Forster at Horton by Blyth and died 7 February 1776 Laverock Hall, Blyth.

London and Middlesex / Re: "Sudbury House" Harrow 1764

Alex Mcleod was my great grandfather. In 1881 he lived with his family in Sudbury House Lodge and worked as a gardener for Lear J Drew, a biscuit manufacturer. (Later Meredith and Drew?) Lear Drew lived in Sudbury House with his wife and 5 servants.
Although the 1891 census states that Alex was living at Sudbury House, this might be an error - or perhaps he was caretaking. In the census Lear Drew is shown as living in Hove, East Sussex.
