There was a post under "West Cemetery" about the Batey/Beaty family being one of the oldest Amble families (April 2012). There is quite a lot of info about George Beattie, born in Chatton 1815ish but settled in Amble by 1841 census. He died in 1898 and had been a mason, builder, grocer, council surveyor, director of the Gas company. phew!
In 1888, an auction sold Beattie's Place in Amble. It consisted of 2 dwelling houses and a stable, and adjoined the Blue Bell Inn.
