Hope it s of some interest to you. Ann

Thanks Jennifer Any help is most appreciated. Regards Linda

Hi, I had family born in Heworth in 1886 and ironically enough one of my Son's now lives in Heworth I will get him to visit the local library-or indeed ask around and see if the place still exists.- How stupid am I, just spoke to Son on his return home later tonight he will look in his A-Z and see if they still exist.

Hi Jennifer I have William Hedley born in Rothbury Northumberland c1800,then James(Coulton) Hedley born in Gainsborough Lincs in 1852 and his son James(Coulton) Hedley born Felling in 1886. Sorry I've been away searching for India connections. Thanks Linda

What was his name?

Thanks Sam Their name was HEDLEY and I find the father in 1861 in Gateshead-Ann Street and Both JC Hedley's in 1891 living in Charles Street. Lost James snr in1871 & 1881. Have no idea where he went!!! What with Victoria, Ann and Charles seems to be getting a bit royal . Thanks again Linda

These people live there in 1881, if that's any help. No listing for number 4 exactly though Ellen Cassidy abt 1826 Ireland Head - Leeming Place, Heworth, Durham, England Sarah Daly abt 1827 Ireland Head - High St Leeming Place, Heworth, Durham, England Francis Garvey abt 1845 Ireland Head - Leeming Place, Heworth, Durham, England Mary Garvey abt 1856 Ireland Wife - Leeming Place, Heworth, Durham, England Rose Ann Garvey abt 1877 Heworth, Durham, England Daughter - Leeming Place, Heworth, Durham, England Sarah Garvey abt 1880 Heworth, Durham, England Daughter - Leeming Place, Heworth, Durham, England Mark Mason abt 1875 Wooler, Northumberland, England Son - High St Leeming Place, Heworth, Durham, England Mary Mason abt 1845 Wooler, Northumberland, England Wife - High St Leeming Place, Heworth, Durham, England Robert Mason abt 1847 Scotland Head - High St Leeming Place, Heworth, Durham, England John Moran abt 1821 Ireland Brother in Law - Leeming Place, Heworth, Durham, England Leeming Place seem to lead straight on from Leemans Place, I wonder if they are one and the same? Further on is Wellington Street.

I am trying to find where in Felling my Father-in law's father was born and lived. On his birth cert is 4 LEEMING PLACE FELLING USD HEWORTH GATESHEAD Co DURHAM,in 1886. I cannot find this on any old maps, either before or around this time, certainly not later. I contacted the Durham record office too,they cannot find it, but think it might be around the Victoria Square part of Felling. From the 1871 census apparently. If anybody has possibly heard of this 'road' and can help, we both would be very greatful. Especially as we're from the south and FIL is now 82 and not really up to travelling there himself. Thanks hoping Regards Linda
