The Catholic church in Cornforth was built around 1875; prior to this Catholics would have gone to the Catholic chapel in Foundry Row, Coxhoe which was formerly used by Primitive Methodists

Durham / Re: Where was Maughan Terrace, West Cornforth (1930's)?

scrap my earlier answer  ;) I managed to talk to a local stalwart of Doggie history and he says...

"was Maughan Street not Terrace and it was down the low side behind Reading Street and the left hand side of the High Street behind the Flintlock as far as the Railway Line and the bank down from John Cockerels shop. If you give me a name I may be able to tell you when they attended school"

so probably where maughan close is situated now !

Husband says Maughan Terrace was one of a row of houses demolished back in the late seventies/early eighties. There was a social club built next to the site and a car park laid over where the houses were. Club now demolished but in its place is the doctors surgery in Reading Street; the cark park remains

Hope this helps

not sure if you are local but Durham University has copies of 19th century Durham newspapers and may be worth a visit.

Good luck!

Durham / Re: possible illegitimate child??
« on: Friday 24 July 09 09:02 BST (UK)  »
thank you everyone for all your help (and it has helped) . Elizabeth Ann and Dorothy kept the name Richardson so you must be right and either the marriage was not a happy one and husband/wife left or even bigamous  :o

I have just traced my Dad's long lost sister (after 60 years) as she was 'farmed' out shortly after birth as my Granny couldn't cope after a long,very difficult labour & illness after; I've gained a cousin I (and she, I ) didn't know existed. What an emotional roller coaster!

thank you and 'happy hunting'

I'm just a mile along the road from Metal Bridge :) Seems like everything fits (dates of birth and place name etc)  *but* I am confused as to why Elizabeth would start using her maiden name in 1901 (and also her daughter using it as well)  ???

I need tea...and lots of it

thanks to everyone so far and also to those who may have more answers
