Hi
I have Bodden/Bowden ancestors from Down who left in 1846-7 for Cockermouth, they married McAlinens and Sloans.  The three familes all seem to have come from South Down (the Loughinisland area), just across the St Georges Channel.  The families I am connected with were all Catholics

Hi Annie 67

I don't know if your ancestors married at Felling, but I looked at the register several years ago (on film , as you say at the Tyne & Wear Archive) and counties and even towns of origin in Ireland were recorded for many of them.  The latest entry I noted with geographical detail was 1869.

Northumberland / Northumberland County Jail Morpeth
« on: Wednesday 23 November 11 13:34 GMT (UK)  »
Hello 
Has anyone a picture of the building that was the jail at Morpeth?  As well as local / family history I write tunes and I've got one called 'The Rats of Morpeth Gaol'  - inspired by an advertisement in the Newcastle Courant, 14 Nov 1845 ' MORPETH GAOL.  PERSONS willing to undertake the CATCHING OF RATS at Morpeth Gaol may see the Premises and learn Conditions &c on application to the Porter at the Gate of the Gaol. (capitals as in original)

I've got an amateur site with my tunes on it and I'd like a copyright free picture to go with the tune.
