Durham / Re: Deadfray Houses - Where are they located
« on: Tuesday 02 February 10 16:14 GMT (UK) »
Yes I'm reasonably sure about Deadfray Houses - that's what's given on the Durham Records Online Website for Robert Slater baptised 1697, buried 1753 - both events at Ryton and the place of abode said to be Deadfray Houses. There are a number of other baptisms for Slaters also for Deadfray Houses
However after searching Google for Detfare and Delfare and reading the subsequent hits I'll accept that Deadfray is probably incorrect! It still doesn't help me to pinpoint where this place might have been on a map of Ryton. I had hoped that William Bourn might have mentioned Deadfray/Delfare/Detfare in his History of the Parish of Ryton but I haven't found anything yet!
Thanks for the suggestions and I'll keep looking
