Find Ancestors

Can anyone help me please, I have been trying to find a place called Pear Tree House and the address in 1891 was Heworth East Central Gateshead, I would love to find out where it is or was as my husband and i spend quite a bit time travelling around the areas where our ancestors lived.

there is a pub in Felling near Gateshead that was called the Pear Tree Hotel that we were in the other day but we still are not too sure of the where abouts thanks carole

I see you're using Ancestry - go to the census image, and above the image you'll see:
Durham > Heworth > District 1 > 2
Click on District 1, then the enumerators sheet. Seems like a large chunk of this ED is around Dearham Hall, Carrs Hill House, and Mill Lane (partly replaced by Millway, but Millway was realigned to W at N end). Of more relevance to the Cairns' house is the remark that "the houses occupied by Cairns, [etc] on the No side of Sunderland Turnpike...".
I presume the turnpike got renamed the Sunderland Rd.

I don't really know where it is, but of I were to guess, go to:
http://www.streetmap.co.uk/
and do a smart search for the OS coords 427000,562300 (enter this as one 13 character string).

Try chatting up the publican at the Pear Tree Hotel, or the librarian at Felling library.

Old place names recorded on memorials in Heworth Churchyard
The practice of putting the deceased person's place of birth or residence on the headstone inscription went out of fashion early this century, and those in Heworth churchyard are almost entirely of the period 1700 to 1900.
Most of the names are very old, and cover the area which was once the Chapelry, then the Parish of Heworth, but is now divided into the four parishes in the Felling group. I have reproduced the exact spelling of the place names: Nether Heworth; South Wardley; High Felling; Heworth Village; Thistley House; Bogg House; Low Heworth; Woodgate; Alliance Villa; Heworth Shore; Bill Queay; Windy Nook; Heworth Lanes; Bill Shoare; Carr Hill; Heworth Dean; Haining Wood; Incline House; Heworth Grange; Hainingwoodgate; Westfield House; Low Lane; Cat Deane; Highburn House; Low Heworth Lane; Cowpath Farm; Greenfield House;High Lanes; Pelaw Main; Woodbine House; High Heworth; Pelaw Staithes; Sward Houses; Heworth Colliery; Staith House; Whitehill; Jonadab;White House; Snowdon's Hole; Heworth Leam; The Tilesheds; The Leam; Ballast Hills; High Leam; The Nest; North Leam; Nest Cottages; Low Leam; Goose Bank; Bank Top; Felling Shore; Springwell Bank Foot; Low Felling; Gingling Gate; Felling Gate; Follonsby; Kirton's Gate; North Follonsby; Garden House; South Follonsby; Pear Tree Place; White Mere; Dempsterville; White Mare Pool; Felling Colliery; Lingy Lane; Quarry Banks; Lingey House; Holly Hill; Wardeley; Felling Lodge; Wardley Manor Farm; Providence Place; Wardley Colliery; Crow Hall.

Many thanks Anne for the pointer in the direction of the enumoraters description think that we may be able to work out where it was now as some of the road names and areas still exist and it now looks like we were being blind sided by the pear tree pub many thanks again.
