By the way, Pejay, is that a Lurcher?

[Patricia jackson]

Hi - yes as far as I am aware it is a rough haired Lurcher,I think they are lovely dogs {what I know of them anyway - but I do not own one} second only to Irish Wolfhounds

  A Mary Twizell witnessed the marriage of Mary Isabella Dent to James H Dixon at Millfield, Sunderland 24 November 1889.     Would anyone know who this Mary Twizell might have been?  The other witness was a Thomas Reed Jenkins.

As previously mentioned Twizell is a Newbiggin name and there are gravestones in St.Bartholomew`s churchyard marked with that name.

  At one time quite a few Twizells came from Newbiggin, Woodhorn area and Bedlington. Dent was also a popular name there too. I do have some Mary Twizell's in my tree - but not that one. There was at one time a fishing coble called 'The Mary Twizell' at Newbiggin but this was a long time ago in the dim and distant past I do not know the other name though - are they some ancestors of yours? Have you tried a search engine on the name Mary Twizell? or Twizells in general? also try Newbiggin by the sea on a search engine too. You should get quite a few websites to look at - among them the RNLI which gives a brief history of the village

     Many thanks, we've (about 3 or 4 Dent Hunstanworth researchers) only just started looking at this, wondering who the witnesses could be.  Will let you know if we get further with it.   Newbiggin sounds promising especially as it is near Bedlington and we have at least one Dent marriage in Bedlington.
