A House Through Time - Newcastle

[stanmapstone]

Did anybody catch the middle name or surname of the fine  upstanding pillar of the community solicitor who Freddy was convicted of stabbing? Something beginning with ‘T’? I got the Gilbert bit!

The solicitor's name was George Tallantyre  Gibson.

Yes. Thanks again! Info on this page about the spellings (the ‘y’ is probably correct) http://tallentire.one-name.net/

‘Most living TALLANTIREs and TALLONTIREs appear to be descended directly from the Cumbrian family. TALLANTYREs also originate from Cumbria, or from a branch which settled in Haltwhistle, Northumberland before 1700.

‘The TALLENTYRE variant, on the other hand, originates from Teesdale families or from a branch which settled in Ravensworth, North Yorkshire in the mid-1700s’

Blimey is 5 Ravensworth Terrace part of a Baron Ravensworth tontine?!!!

‘The surname TALINTYRE is used only by the descendants of a family from Newcastle upon Tyne.’

Not sure, but wasn`t Hannah Hauxwell connected to the Tallentires ?

I though this second epsiode covered a lot of stories including spititualism. I didn`t realise that there had been so much glassmaking in Newcastle.

Hi davidft,

I thought this episode a lot more interesting also, although I did not watch it out completely.  I still think he was making quite a lot of assumptions with regard to the grandchildren.  I was not sure about the fact that 2 or 3 of the younger children had been put up for adoption but later we were told that all the grandchildren had been mentioned in the Grandmother's Will.  Given they may have been adopted I can't understand how they might have benefited from her Will.  I can understand how the older children who had gone to Aus may have benefited.  Anyway, I changed over half way to watch the new show called GHOSTS made by the Horrible Histories lot.  I just thought David was going to annoy me with  more assumptions.    The premise of Ghosts is quite funny.

The three youngest children were sent to Orphanages, not put up for adoption. Seven of the nine grandchildren emigrated, and two died in England

I confess to not having heard of Hannah Hauxwell until now but looking up her obit https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2018/feb/01/hannah-hauxwell-obituary

You’re correct - her mother was Lydia Tallentire!

There appears to be two threads on this programme - it’s a shame they can’t be amalgamated?

"Given they may have been adopted "  So you know that that weren't?  They were at the mercy of the institution where they were placed.  And, yes before you advise further I do know that 'official' adoption was not in place before 1927
