Thanks Janis, it's Low Banwell, some of Thomas's siblings were baptised from Banwell House, I don't know if this is the same as Low Barnwell which is the closest I can find on modern maps.

Thank you Pat, I found the Ferrys earlier this year when the Durham Will Index went online. are you a descendent too?


No, but I have been researching for a Ferry friend who thought she was Irish...turns out her Ferrys have been in Durham for a LONG time. I have quite an extensive file on them.
