Hello jwilco, Again, thanks for your most gracious assistance!  I have looked at the Google books entry which describes landed gentry, including Spoor of Whitburn.  That source indicates that Richard Spoor's ancestors actually came form Cornwall!  At this point, I can see no connection to my group who are first spotted in Whickham and Ryton in County Durham in the 1600's.  However, I will keep an open mind about any possible connection that may be found at another point in time!  Again, sincerest thanks for your help.     Pat

Hello KatyG and THANK YOU so very much for this information.  Armed with this, I am certain I can link him into my family.  Sincerest thanks for helping solve a very old puzzle!    patrexjax

My pleasure. I am currently researching the Mayors of Sunderland, I am now trying to track down a picture of him.

Hello KatyG, Thanks agin for the information; I regret that I do not have photos which would help you. I am wondering if you have any additional information about Richard Spoors grandparents and/or his wife and children. He is proving to be elusive to tie in to my Spoor tree, most of whom were from Whickham and Ryton in County Durham.  A fair number, however, did move over to the Eastrly part of the county; others went to Newcastle. Please keep me advised of your progress and I wish you success in your endeavor.  Sincerely, patrexjax
