Working on the female lines who married into the well-documented LONGSTAFF's
of Weardale (Stanhope and St Johns Chapel) and Teesdale (Romaldkirk), DUR. I
descend from Ralph LONGSTAFF (1825-1923) who left Stanhope for Australia and
left a large family in Victoria. He was the son of John LONGSTAFF and Phoebe
VICKERS, who was, in turn, the daughter of John VICKERS and Sarah WATSON. I have
not been able to definitely trace either of those lines. Other surnames of those
who married the LONGSTAFF's are: POTTS, HORN, WALL, and LAW. (Submitted

I have been tracing my family for some 20 years and
the origins of my surname hark back to Alston, Garrigill, CUL, Allendale,
Ninebanks, NBL. The name is KEENLEYSIDE (and all it's variations - KEENLYSIDE,
KEENLISIDE, KINLESIDE, KENLISIDES, KINLEYSIDE, KYNLYSIDE, KINDLEYSIDE). A short history of
my connection to the name is from a Robert KINLESIDE of Alston Moor, CUL
marrying Elizabeth HAGGERSTONE also of Alston Moor at Penrith, CUL, 17 May 1687.
That led to the family living in the mining area around Long Marton, Dufton and
Knock, all WES, and the name gradually changing from KEENLEYSIDES to
KINDLEYSIDES and thence my name KINDLEY.

I have an extensive "collection" of this

specific individual. I also have a small library relating to mining - The

Industrial Welfare - The London (Quaker) Lead Company 1692-1905 by Arthur
Rastrick; An Account of the Mining District of Alston Moor, Weardale and
Teesdale by Thomas Sopwith; Alston Moor - Its Pastoral People Its Mines
and Miners by William Wallace; A History of Lead Mining in the Pennines

My
ancestor, William BLAYLOCK was born in Dalston, CUL, in 1829 and later
moved to St. Helens, LAN. He was the illegitimate son of Mary BLAYLOCK
daughter of William BLAYLOCK born 1783 in Raughton, CUL and Jane PARKER.
William (1783) also had a father William BLAYLOCK born 1733 in
Brackenhill, CUL, who married Mary BARNES in Castle Sowerby, CUL.
Then I am stuck and would love to hear from anyone with BLAYLOCK links.
Why William (1829) would leave such a beautiful place as Cumberland to move to
Liverpool and St Helens I would love to know? (Entered

I am searching for William ARMSTRONG who was married
1869, in Young, NSW, Australia, to Georgina DEADMAN. The marriage was
witnessed by William's brother Thomas and Georgina's sister Mary. The
marriage certificate showed no parents names for either William or Georgina. I
think William died in Young, NSW, around 1883\5 and Georgina remarried. I hope
you can help. (Submitted January 2006).

I am looking for information on
WITHEROP, WITHERUP, WITHRUP, WOTHERUPPE, or any variation. The name seems to originate
from the Co. Durham area - 1500's to 1900. WITHERUP was my
great-grandmother's maiden name. I have got back to William WITHERUP born
around 1817 either in Co. Durham or after his father moved to Ireland from the
Durham area - who may have come from the Fishburn district. Any information
would be appreciated. Are there any WITHEROP, WITHERUP etc descendants
still in the area? (Updated July

I am seeking information on the following families, COATES, DAWSON, ELGEY, HARRIS, RICHARDSON, (Willington, DUR,
19thC). John COATES m. Eleanor RICHARDSON, 1862 at St. Stephens, Willington and
their son
Joseph COATES, b 1867, Brancepeth, emigrated to USA, abt 1884, where in 1891 he
married Mary Ann HARRIS in Centerville, Iowa. Mary Ann, b 1873, Littletown, DUR,
was the dau of William HARRIS & Celia JENKIN(S), who married 1869, Easington Reg Dist,
DUR. The HARRIS family emigrated to U.S. around 1884. The father of John COATES
is thought to be Robert and the father of Eleanor RICHARDSON is thought to be
William RICHARDSON, b abt 1819, Brampton, CUL, but neither of these have been
confirmed.
I believe that Joseph COATES had two sisters, Mary Ellen (Nellie) and Jane Ann
(Jennie), b 1875, Willington. Nellie married Robert DAWSON, and Jennie may have
married an ELGEY. I have lots of pictures of ELGEY's (Ethel, George, John,
Alfred), but no clear connection. Ida DAWSON and Ethel ELGEY corresponded with
my Grandmother, Eveline HOSKINS in Iowa.
I recently found a Bible entry that lists under Family Register:-
James Harry HARRIS, 7 July 1869.
Mary Ann HARRIS, 28 February 1871.
Mary Ann HARRIS, September 1872.
Under Deaths:-
James Harry HARRIS, 11 November 1869.
Mary Ann HARRIS, September 1871.
William HARRIS, 3 June 1895 (This would have been in USA).
I believe these to be the children of William HARRIS & Celia JENKIN(S).
Would be happy to hear from anyone with information on these families. (Submitted
March 2007)
