Gateshead Fell 1800's, 1900s. Can I help anyone?

[rhall36]

Paula, I'll try and attach the photo at St Alban's, Windy Nook. I don't know if this is a relation; I'm just trying to piece families together. My grandfathe Robert Hall, accouding to two census' was from Heworth, and Felling respectively.

Incidentally, my father is still living, in Wrekenton, almost 95, but knows little of his  father.

If the attachment doesn't work, forgive me.

Rob,

The burial record for Foster Wales is on Durham Records Online.

He was buried 29 June 1879 at St John's, Sheriff Hill aged 55.

Thanks a million HM_Dava. I guessed as much. I know his death certificate shows his death as 1879 June 25.

I have a search going at Tyne & Wear Archives for his birth, but haven't heard anything in 3 weeks. (I know he was born in Newburn). I try to use Durham Register but find most of the info I'm looking for, (even when I know the answer), isn't on the computer yet, i.e. my wedding.

Foster Wales' death was reported by his son-in-law M. McNaughty, but can't ffind that name anywhere (to see who his wife was).

Regards,  Rob Hall,  Katy, TEXAS - we had some snowflakes this week!

Hi Paula,I wonder if you are able to help with this Low Fell enquiry.
A John McAllum of Gateshead was married at Bethseda Chapel Melborne St, on the 12th October 1864 to Lucy Ann Forster,daughter of Mr John Forster of Gateshead Low Fell.
Free BMD has Lucy Ann McAllums death at Gateshead,September Quarter 1865.
My query is is there any info on who John McAllum was and is the death of Lucy Ann McAllum his wife or child.
Most of the McAllums in Newcastle belong to the one family and I was rather hoping that this particular John McAllum may have been the son of John Donkin McAllum (one of my brickwalls) ,born 3rd July 1815,parents Duncan McAllum (surgeon of Blackett St) and Eliza Donkin.Any help greatly appreciated.gereon

Fay,
I don't know if you still check this site, but I haven't forgotten about you! Do you have any other names or dates that I can use?

Jacqueline,
Do you know if you have any Robsons in Windy Nook? I found a gravestone this morning : Thomas Robson, d march 2nd 1890 age 72, maria his wife, d jan 20 1893 aged 74 and a few other members of the same family; Robert, Elizabeth Anne, Roger and Jane. I have a photo and full details if you think it might be helpful?

And gereon, I've only had time to have a quick look for you but I'll keep at it!


I work full time but the Tyne and Wear Archive service is open on a Saturday at the beginning of February. I'm happy to go down and stay there until they throw me out if anyone wants to give me further names and dates etc so I know what I'm looking for!

Cheers
Paula.

Thanks Paula, following your info, I went to the 1881 census, looked up the John Hall family (Windy Nook), but alas, it wasn't my family.

Hi All

There is another Mary Hall  + Family Gravestone at St Albans, its starting to decay. I do have a photograph of it.
Some of the dates are unreadable from the photo but I will go and check to see If I can make them out.
