Durham / Re: Stephenson - rocket

I have the same rumour in my family, if I have remembered correctly the only direct Stephenson descendants can come from George 's brothers Robert and John. He had another brother James I think who had no kids.

Durham / Re: Lord Londonderry & his coalmine - Rainton
« on: Tuesday 24 July 07 18:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi there

I can't remember where I read it but Lord Londonderry brought in workers from outside the area to work in the pits when his workforce went on strike. I believe he evicted striking miners from their house so as to locate his new workers. The incoming workers had no idea they were going to be strike breakers.

this site will give a bit of back ground on Lord Londonderry for you I hope.
My g g grandma's sister was cook for Lord Londonderry.

US Lookup Requests / New York passenger list and census look up please
« on: Tuesday 24 July 07 14:00 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone look at the passenger list from the UK to New York  for a William Hunter Leece born 1899 at Lanchester County Durham. I do not what year he went but I think it was between the wars. I think he could have also enlisted in the US army for WW2. Any other info from the census etc would be great.
Many thanks
