Hi Diddy,
Thanks for this - yes, I was aware of it and have visited the Durham Mining Museum pages - it's a really good resource. It's good you published for others that might be interested and I can certainly endorse the usefulness of the site. All the best for Christmas and New Year.

Cheers

Bryan

Just in case you haven't got this bit of information..............
Elizabeth Wardle married John Blenkinsop in 1891..............
1891 Seaham
Ellen Potts 58, born Brampton, North East
Robert Wardle 35, born Wreckenton
John Potts 19, born Seaham
William Potts 19, born Seaham
Isabella (Harron??) 37, daughter, widowed, born Wrekenton
Ellen (Harron??) 4 born North Shields
John Blenkinsop 22, born Barnard Castle
Elizabeth Blenkinsop 27, born Wrekenton
Robert W Blenkinsop 1 month, born Seaham

In the 1901 census the Blenkinsop's are living in Barnard Castle

I might be totally off the mark here but in 1861 in Gateshead...........
Thomas Wardle 58, born Heddon
Ellen Wardle 64, born Elsdon
Thomas Wardle 24, born Durham
Elizabeth Wardle 21, born Durham
*Ann Wardle 10, born Gateshead
*Isabella Wardle 6, born Gateshead
*Robert Wardle 4, born Gateshead
***grandchildren

As you can see it maybe just a coincidence that in 1891, staying with Ellen are a daughter Isabella and a son Robert, both of the right age to be the above children and both born in the right area................maybe coincidence ?
