Please can you tell me which families are mentioned in Dixon's book. I have my Johnson family living in Whittingham and Callaly and my great aunt who died quite recently told me that when she was 9 her father showed her a book which made mention of their family. I have been trying to track it down without success thus far.

Though not available online (copyright restrictions), the following link allows you to search within the book to see if the name you are interested in appears. It then gives page numbers, so perhaps if someone has a copy it would make it easier to ask for a look up?

Thank you Boo, very tantalising. Johnson name is mentioned on pages 15 and 18 according to the link you sent.

Hopefully when I am up in Alnwick in a couple of weeks I will be able to take a sneak at one of the copies at the bookshop within the old station. Provided of course that the copy they did have has not been sold!

Cheers

PS Just had a look, and they have 7 of the book in stock, but not one below £130

My wife bought the book from a seller on EBay.  It is not an original print which may be why the ones that you have seen are so expensive.  However it is a hard back and published in 1979 and cost approx £30.  As far as I am aware it is a full version of the original publication of 1895.  Trevor

I just ordered the book through betterworldbooks.com at a reasonable price. Maybe they have more!
