Hi Emm,

You've found me! I think you have to make another couple of posts before you can do PMs.

I'm not going back as far as the early 1800s in this thread - it was the census of 1871 when this family was in tees Tilery and by then the area was becoming rather less rural. I don't know why I have Tees Tilery as South Bank or Normanby - there must be a reason - I'll need to look at my information. But I am happy to accept that I was wrong and that it was part of Stockton.

I grew up on Teesside, not far from Middlesbrough ( where I was born) so I am familiar with most of it and its history. My ancestors moved there from all over the place and were almost all employed in the iron and steel industry.

Cheers,

Jen

Thanks Jen.
I did some searching, and found out about pm's.
Well, this is two posts now.  :)

I was born in Normanby - then moved to Middlesbrough.
My father's family moved to Stockton from Staffordshire for my grandfather to work in the steel industry.

One branch of mine also came to Middlesbrough from Staffordshire. I think there are a lot of us about.  ;D

Hi Emm,

Welcome to Rootschat  :)

I was born in Normanby too.  My ancestors moved to this area from Lincolnshire and Norfolk to work in the ironstone mines, men travelled from all over the country to find work there in the mid-1800s.

I should be able to send pm's now.
Oh, thanks for the welcome, Ecneps.

@ Genjen.

I have just discovered another Tilery.
 :-[

SOUTH BANK, formerly called Tees Tilery, is a rapidly increasing and populous market town in this township, having a station on the Darlington and Saltburn line of the North Eastern railway, and is distant three miles from Middlesbrough. It is entirely a recent creation, which has sprung into existence since the establishment of the steel works of Messrs. Bolckow, Vaughan, & Co., Limited, and the works of the Clay Lane Iron Co., Limited. Another industry of the place which gives employment to a large number of the inhabitants is the manufacture of bricks and tiles, which is carried on extensively by Messrs. Johnson & Maw, the North Eastern Brick and Tile Co., and the Cleveland Brick and Tile Co. For parliamentary purposes, South Bank is included in the borough of Middlesbrough, but the remainder of the township is in the Cleveland division of the Riding. A large portion of the place is under the jurisdiction of the Normanby Local Board of Health, formed in 1865; and the following year gas works were erected by a limited company. The Town Hall, with Covered Market, was erected in 1878, at a cost of £5,500. It is an imposing structure of white brick, built from the designs of W. Duncan, Esq., Middlesbrough. The main room, which is used for public entertainments, will accommodate 800 persons. The Local Board and also the School Board have their offices in this building. The market is held weekly on Fridays, and is well patronised.

Well there you go - I wasn't imagining things after all. Often when I am sitting at my lap-top, I don't have all my family files close at hand so can't refer to all my data but I was sure it was the South Bank area where my family had lived. We didn't venture north of the Tees very often!!! ;D

Thanks for that,

Jen

I must admit, I'd never heard that, (or forgotten it probably), I only knew of the Tilery in Stockton, so that's really interesting information, thanks Emm.

Pleasure ladies.
Genjen - I live on the north side of the Tees, now.

But, as the saying goes - You can take me out of Yorkshire, but you can't take Yorkshire out of me.
