Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Preston Road Workhouse Tynemouth,
« on: Thursday 06 November 08 22:22 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Gillian.  I live just 15 minutes away from the Preston Road.  I will see if there is a burial listed for your Great Grandmother. 
Let me know if you need any other info from the local library as I study there often.

Hello Sue.  If you have the time could you please do a 'look up' for me.

I have an unusual surname in my family tree, and many were Watermen from Greenwich and surrounding areas around the late 1700's to mid 1800's.  I am looking for the surname Penniall, Penniale, Pennyale. 


Many thanks.

Northumberland / Re: Spittal Dean in Tynemouth
« on: Thursday 03 July 08 23:47 BST (UK)  »
Hi Liz, not sure if you still need this info.

 I live in Tynemouth and have a map of North Shields & Tynemouth dated 1856 on my wall.

It looks like Spittall Dean Farm was situated on what is now the edge of Northumberland park, right opposite where Spital cottage was.  (Now where Tynemouth Golf course entrance is)  Then you have Spital Bridge and Spital House.  The Street was then known as 'Cut Throat Lane'  Now Preston Avenue leading onto Livingstone Terrace/King Edward Road.  I am pretty sure Spital House was/is next to the Dolphin Pub.

Will see if I can get a smaller map and get it scanned for you.

Let me know if you want any other info.

Justina.

Hi Tony, I live in Tynemouth.  Will pop to the Library on Monday and see if I can find your Joseph Duxfield, born circa 1757 in the PR's
