Hi
have you tried North East Forum website they have a page for Ferryhill and Chilton and a separate genealopgy page.

Thank you for that last posting - I found that site very interesting.
Having looked at the Birth and Marriage Certs I am wondering whether the West Chilton shown as residence at time of marriage (1908) was in fact West Chilton Terrace, which seems to show up in some references.
Would anyone have any idea when either of these Roads - West Chilton Terrace and Ford Terrace - may have been built please?
I note Ford Terrace is noted for demolition in the near future!

I have already pointed out that Ford Terrace  is NOT in the 1901 Census West Row, Chilton was, but I don't know whether or not this is the same as West Chilton Terrace. If you go to the map I referred to you can look at maps of various dates, and see what was there.

Thank you Stan
I know that Ford Terrace is not on the 1901 Census but West Chilton certainly is!  It shows up on the 1901 Census site twice, when you do an address search for West Chilton.
Does anyone have free access to the 1901 please?  If not I will do a paid search on the Census site.

West Chilton in 1901 is a farm. I don't know why the 1901 Census Site has two addresses, unless it is because Ainsley and Stanley Wilkinson are on the next page with a different reference. Ancestry has only one entry for West Chilton;
RG13 piece 4632 folio 154 page 16
Robert Wilkinson, head, 40, Farmer.
Hannah Wilkinson, wife, 40
Mary E. Wilkinson, daughter, 14
Robt. W. Wilkinson, son, 13
Jenny Wilkinson, daughter, 11
RG13 piece 4632 folio 155 page 17
Ainsley Wilkinson, son, 9
Stanley Wilkinson, son 7.

The farm is also shown on the O.S. map at

Since there is neither a Ford Terrace or West Chilton Terrace in the 1901 census, might I suggest that the houses designated Windlestone Colliery or Ferryhill Station or else Front and Back Chapel Row, may have been later given individual Terrace names and house numbers as being more dignified. This is what occurred with the row of colliery houses that I live in.
The only Robinsons in Chilton at 1901 are;
Denison Tce, Wm Robinson 25 gunpowder merchant, boarder
Ferryhill Station, Mary Robinson 19 servant
5 Front Chapel Row, Hannah Robinson 47 widow, son Frank 17 Coalminer putter, Thomas 15 Colliery bank stone picker
Hope this helps

There was a major expansion of Chilton between 1901 and 1911. The population in 1901 was 1,411 and in 1911 it was 6,070, which seems to be born out by the large number of houses that had been built between the 1894-1899 map and the 1919-1926 map.
The workforce a Chilton Colliery was 133 in 1902 and 1,416 in 1914. Windlestone Colliery is a different village, the streets were named Albert St., Arthur St., Prospect Terr., South View, and Durham Road.

Joseph Robinson, son, 4, b. Littletown,
George Robinson, son, 11 months, b. Littletown,
Mary H. Dickinson, niece, 11, b. Kelloe.

1901 : Littletown, Pittington, Co. Durham,
Joseph Robinson, head, 44, Coal Hewer, b. Spennymoor,

Ludworth was in Pittington Parish, in Durham Registration District.

There is a birth of a John Thomas Robinson in Durham Reg District, Dec 1884, vol 10a, p414.

Probably no way of knowing for sure if this is your John / Joseph until the 1911 census is released.

Thank you both Stan and Peter for the additional information.
I will check out those Robinsons to see if anything comes out of that - Hannah would have been around the right age to have maybe been the mother.
