Durham Completed Look up Requests / Re: Gateshead Fell 1800's, 1900s. Can I help anyone?

Porgi, we have something in common, because my ancestors were also owners of The Three Tuns, on Sodhouse Bank, circa 1856 - 1886. On the 1871 census, Sodhouse Bank is referred to as Sheriff Hill, West Side, but the address is clear as The Three Tuns (Public House). My Grandmother was born (1895), just up 'the bank,' and I was born just off the top of the bank (1936).
There is a photo of the old Three Tuns in the Gateshead archives, showing a woman standing out front - has to be your, or my, GGgrandmother.
You can get a good 1895 Ordnance Survey Map of Sheriff Hill from www.alangodfrey.co.uk which shows it as Sodhouse Bank.
Also suggest you read Catherine Cookson's book, "The Whip," which makes mention, several times about 'The Tuns' at Gateshead Fell.

My apologies for having asked before; the mind starts failing at 74. But on these baptisms, did it have the parents names?

SooCatt,
    My father, Robert William Hall was baptised at St John's (1914), my mother-in-law Margaret Parkinson was baptised at St John's (1906). They were married (obviously not to each other), 1935 Dec, and 1933 Feb respectively.

My grandmother Violet Wales married at St John's, to Robert Hall (1913 Dec). Also my maternal grandparents Joseph Wales/Roseanne Hall (maybe at St Edmund's circa 1913).

My wife and I, Margaret Graham, and Robert William Hall, were baptized, 1938 and 1936 respectively, and married at St John's in 1958 Oct, by the Reverend Cartwright.

Now to the question, do you have anything in the old 1886 report, with the names Wales, Parkinson, or Hall

I still visit St John's every time I come back to the UK.

Best regards,   Rob Hall, Katy, TEXAS

I found two Elizabeth Copelands. Both born at Heworth in 1869, and 1890. Heworth is only 1 mile from Gateshead Fell.

Susan, being from Sheriff Hill, and a 'strong' member of St John's, could you send me a copy of the book you mentioned?

In 1986, my daughter, (who happened to be born in Africa), copied the births, and marriages, of the HALL's' and WALES',

Prior to 1890 the HALL's were not from Sheriff Hill (maybe Felling/Heworth), but my g.g.grandfather (Foster Wales) was the original owner, of the Three Tuns pub. And when he died, his wife Isabella ran the pub!

To Anthony Pearson. Maybe this will help you to work backwards; but I knew a Pearson family in Sheriff Hill around 1948. I don't remember the parents' names but their only child was Pauline (probably born around 1942). I think the father lost a leg, or crippled, in WW2 as he always walked with a limp. I would imagine Pauline was baptized at St. John's, Sheriff Hill.

Hi Gary. I'd like to ask for any photos of the gravestones in St John's, Sheriff Hill. On the occasional visits back to gateshead, I've always visited St John's and taken some photos. the two family names I'm interested in are WALES and HALL.

I have photos of Robert W. WALES d. 1946, Matthew WALES d. 1966 (and his wife and daughter), Joseph Foster WALES d. 1933 (and his wife). The only HALL photo is Henry HALL d. 1984, but no relation, but not my relation.

I have met every Rector of St John's since 1947, up until Rev Tully left, and even had our Rector from Texas go and give a service there.
