Has anyone heard of a book called "Amble: Names from the Past" by an Eric Sorenson?
Apparently NDFHS has a copy in its library at Percy House, Newcastle.

"Simonsen" I think it will be, but I've not heard of the book anyway.
I do have his 194 pp book "Warkworth Harbour". He has a few pages in the back of that regarding his efforts to trace/identify the Lighthouse Keepers that have lived on the island, so perhaps that inspired him to do other "Names"?

Simonsen would make more sense. Ill have to fit in a visit to the NDFHS library to see what his other book is about.

Might be worth checking Amble Library if you're passing that way to see if they have a copy? The reference room has a reasonable selection of local stuff.
