Northumberland / Re: Henry Waters, birthplace where?
« on: Tuesday 12 October 21 14:37 BST (UK)  »
this might help
Scremerston in county durham  became Scremerston in Northumberland    Scremerston is classed as being part of the town of Berwick so instead of saying you were born Scremerston you now say you were born Berwick   so  part of your census confusion is solved    there  are wide varieties in Northumberland accents  so if you live at Togston and say  to the census people (don,t forget the census was sometimes filled in by one person for the whole community as not everyone could read and write) that you came from Berwick this can be picked up as Berwickshire     Let me know if you need any information about Isabella Colliery as I knew the area very well      There is a henry Watters birth registered 1845 in the Glendale area which is the next area to Norham parish this might be your Henry

the toilets in Blyth are where the have always been   At the top of the market square or you could have gone to Morrisons supermarket on the site of the old railway station
Getting back to Newsham schools the Junior school was by the Black Diamond  The infants school
only took children from the railway crossing down Newsham road Isabella Colliery and Poets corner (Council housing) above the newsham lines went to Delaval school   New delaval senior did not close when Newlands opened  my brother was at New Delaval Senior in 1968 and Newlands had been open a long time then  the school at South Newsham only had a couple of class rooms It was an old school
used as the first year of Newsham junior  A private coach  picked you up and dropped you back at the junior school Newsham Miss Legg was the headmistress at South Newsham  around 1957  the Frost family had the shop opposite the Plaza at newsham and the shop at the top of Plessey road was owned by the Bassams Jenny Bassam being a Turnbull from the Bella Colliery

coal miners and farm hands  didnt stay long in one place  that,s why children in 1 family  can be born in several villages
