I thought I would scan some of the baptisms at Warkworth to see what might be occurring at Chevington, not a lot. Perhaps there's more at St John's Chevington which opened for business in about 1859 but unfortunately those registers are not online. Warkworth had references to Broomhill Tile Works and platelayers at Chevington Wood Branch End.
It is easy to drift off though, you can see the developments happening at Amble and elsewhere through the occupations. Lots of quarrymen in Amble in the 1840s, a blacksmith with his address as Amble Staith, a staithman at Amble. A corver at Radcliffe.....
A very popular occupation was "single woman"
