Hello Gwen. Only the ones posted :- Wolsingham, Frosterley, Tow Law, Crook, Witton le Wear, Hamsterley, Hunwick, Lanchester, Etherley, Crook, Edmundbyers, Satley, Muggleswick, Escomb, Stanley (Crook), Howden le Wear, West Auckland, Thornley (Tow law) Lynesack (Copley Butterknowle area), Willington, Garrigill, Alston (Brancepeth and Norton on Tees. not yet posted)
Like I said before, I do not do look ups for any name other than what is requested from My first posting on each subject.
I do put them all down in alphabetical order so they are easy to find.
If I did not stick to the system that I have things would get very complicated for me.
And also if I keep all the places separate and posted in the correct way, others doing research on the same name can use the information.

Hi Adam,

Thank you for the details.  Lanchester is the centre for the family in which I am interested for some generations, before dispersion over the county and region during the late 19th century.  I will look at the thread for Lanchester, but if the transcriptions are not there, would you be able to post them?

In appreciation,
Maureen
