I am fairly new to this list (amongst others) and have been lurking in the background to
see what is happening.
I thought I might post my interests now.
MAIN (possibly known as TREMAIN) - Ashington, Cramlington. They moved up from Calstock,
Cornwall during the 1860's. Anyone who knew Ashington from 1920 - 1970 (at least)
will know of Main's of Ashington cycle and motorbike shops - that my Dads maternal
line.
TIPPET - Cramlington. They also moved up from Calstock, Cornwall but my great Grandma is
down as coming from Tavistock, Devon on the 1881 Census.
MURRAY - Ashington, Longhirst Station, Blyth, Heworth, Elsdon, Otterburn - Dad's
paternal line. Possibility of links with Hawick but unconfirmed.
LUMSDEN - Forest Hall (paternal great Grandma's sister married a George Lumsden from
Forest Hall. The Lumsden's owned a fairly sizeable garage from what my Dad remembers.
If I can trace them I might just get my Dad's Grandma's maiden name.
WOOD - West Sleekburn, Durham, Chester-le-Street,Stakeford
LEATHARD - West Sleekburn
WATTS - Coventry - Mum's maternal line
NORTON - London (not sure which part yet), Nottingham, Coventry - Mum's paternal line
GLENN & PAYNE - Coventry - Mum's great great and great, great, great
MORGAN, WALTERS, SAT(T)IN, LANCEY, HINKS & BRITCHER - Glamorgan and Monmouthshire
