Sharon, I went to Old maps(.)co(.) uk - remove the brackets. It has one of Fatfield in 1862 but with only three pubs - the Peareth Arms, the Punchbowl and what looks like either the Speckled or the Spotted Cow(theres a road across it !). The grid reference is 430840,553741 Fatfield, Durham if you want to have a look. Couldnt find anything in A2A, but possibly the local museum or Records office may be able to help.( presumably the name was changed later or the pub built after this date). Hope this helps in some way, Elaine x.

The only mention of Fatfield on Memory map is a Fatfield House Farm. Do you know where Fatfield is. I was born County Durham and I can't say I've heard of it. Kath. x

What's the family name and I'll check the Chester-le-Street address on Ancestry. Kath. x

Thanks Johnathon, I know Chester-le-Street, but I've never heard of Fatfield. Kath. x

Sharon, Your family are on 1901 census RG13 4702 folio 16 p24. civ par Harraton,Ecc par Fatfield st George, Reg dist Chester le street. Next door to the fried fish shop is The Dun Cow Inn , proprieter John and Betty Veal. This should be enough to contact local records office/history society etc for more info. Good luck! Elaine x.

You could try: Old Dunn Cow Inn - Darlington http://www.pubsgalore(.)co.uk/pubs/5463/ Remember to remove the ( ) from the address.
