Many thanks, Michael!  I have discovered a long lost third cousin who lives locally and knows the place well!  Hopefully we'll tie it up soon.  Thanks again. Wendy

Hi cavvytri !  As I said, I'm new to this and am not sure sure what you mean when you say you'll PM your email address but I'm sure it will be handy. I went to the Holy Sepulchre cemetery yesterday but without success....I think I'll need your help! Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi cavvytri !  It's good to hear from you!  Yes, we do have the same relations. I have Mary Jane on my family tree and I know, from the census, that she married the Dalrymples. I'm delighted that you tell me the name of the churchyard where she is buried as I was about to search Ashington cemeteries near to Ninth Row where Charles last lived in order to 'tidy-up' some of my loose ends! I've been tracing the Coombes for some time now and am in contact with the Australian side of Robert's family. Now I know where I am with that strand I thought I'd find out more about Elizabeth and Charles. I'm having problems finding out more about Charles' past. I know he was born in Andover, Hampshire and that his father was called William. His father's occupation was husbandman. However, I can't get any further than that. We do need that marriage cert. or a visit to Hampshire! Are you getting the cert. or shall I? Is there anything I can help you with at all?  Are you local or have you moved away from Northumberland?

Hi! I'm new to this so please bear with me. I see that you have been looking for Elizabeth Bellaney and have already found some answers. I, too, am looking for her with interest and curiosity as I have been researching the Coombes family and know that Elizabeth was the mother of Robert Coombes, my great grandfather. Robert was, I believe, the eldest son of Charles and Elizabeth Coombes. Robert went to Australia in 1879 but is found, in the 1871 census, living in Blyth with his grandmother, Margaret.  Unfortunately, I know nothing about Elizabeth other than the information given in the 1841 census. Perhaps you could help me out?  Thanks, in anticipation
