Historical
I found a site that may be useful to forumites.Unless of course you have already been there!!If you google the "internet archive "and search for History of Northumberland, all the volumes are online(the one by hodgson).Very interesting and a lot of family trees in them.

I remember putting up a link a few years ago for that site too in relation to something Coquet posted (can't remember what though!). They used to have a load of Northumberland parish records digitised on there, but they have all gone now except the one for Berwick (1572-1700). I assume someone owned the copyright on them! Thank you for reminding me about it. It's ages since I had a look on there and the Hogson books are really good.

It seems as though there are now a few more Northumberland Parish Registers back up on the site which you can download a copy of. There are ones up there for Chatton, Ingram, Beadnall, Edlingham, Elsdon and Lesbury. Most of them go up to about 1812 or so. May be of interest to anyone with relatives from those areas. The Lesbury registers cover down to Warkworth Parish which includes a (very small in 1812) Amble.

We should have an index of what they are digitising over the pond. It really is a significant resource. Here is the Lesbury register and some others:
The registers of Lesbury in the county of Northumberland : Baptisms, 1690-1812. Marriages, 1689-1812. Burials, 1690-1812 by Lesbury, Eng. (Parish); Bolam, John; Peacock, Reginald; Wood, Herbert Maxwell here Published 1907 Northumberland words by Heslop, Richard Oliver, 1842- vol 1 Northumberland words by Heslop, Richard Oliver, 1842- vol 2 Mussel Beds of Northumberland 1906 is here Amble on page 7 A glossary of terms used in the coal trade of Northumberland and Durham by Greenwell, George Clementson, 1821-1900 Published 1888 is here This interests me - fossils of Amphibians coming out of Newsham colliery. I had the privilege of viewing some trace fossils near Cullernose Point (just south of Craster) with some geologists. These were the footprints of a large amphibian. Oldest footprints on the planet; still are I think. These were the first creatures to actually 'walk' the earth.

I have just found around 38 reports from Amble Urban District Council relating to public health. Makes for very interesting reading considering the most recent one was dated 1971. It lists causes of death, mortality rates, food hygiene and even shows the number of tins of food found to be unfit for human consumption!
This link should show a list of the reports: https://archive.org/search.php?query...ict+Council%22 Last edited by Morph; 21-11-2016 at 03:25 PM. |

You've found a little gold mine there! I think Wellcome also has info on the war service of RAMC doctors. That might turn up there eventually. |
