  • The Glass Houses of Alfred Alexander Bill Lockhart
    The Glass Houses of Alfred Alexander Bill Lockhart Alfred Alexander and his two sons, Alfred (junior) and George, were involved in a series of English bottle factories during the last half of the 19th century and the early 20th century. The firm made a large variety of bottles, including “pale” soda bottles at the Hunslet, Leeds, factory. Some of their bottles were used by U.S. and Canadian bottlers. Histories Blaydon Glass Bottle Co, Blaydon, Durham, England (1854-1860) Yorkshire Bottle Co., London, England (1854-1860) In 1854, Anthony Thatcher established a bottle plant at Blaydon-on-Tyne, Durham, England. The factory was called the Blaydon Bottle Works, although it is unclear whether that was an official name. By at least the following year, Alfred Alexander was the agent for the Yorkshire Bottle Co., with a warehouse at Victoria Wharf on Earl St. and a sales office on Upper Thames St., both in London (McFarlane 2009; North East Bottle Collectors 2011). At some point, possibly from the beginning, Alfred Alexander, Anthony Thatcher, James Battle Austin, and Henry Poole formed a partnership – the Blaydon Glass Bottle Co. – to operate the Blaydon plant. We have discovered virtually nothing about the operation of the factory during this period, although the partnership was formed as “Bottle Manufacturers and Bottle Merchants.” Thatcher retired, so the partnership dissolved on July 2, 1860 (McFarlane 2009). Alexander, Austin & Poole, Blaydon (1860-1861) With the retirement of Thatcher, the remaining three – Alexander, Austin & Poole – operated the Blaydon plant under this name for a brief period. The Yorkshire Bottle Co.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

  • A Brief Guide to Northumberland Family History
    A Brief Guide To Northumberland Family History Family history can be fascinating and, with a little patience, very rewarding. It is important to remember always to start from yourself and work backwards, step by step. Family history research can be very time consuming and progress may sometimes be slow. Therefore, to make the best use of your time and money there are a number of things you can do before contacting the record office. Firstly, look at one of the many genealogical books that can help you plan your research. Some useful ones include D. Iredale Discovering your Family Tree, (Shire Publications); S. Colwell, Family Roots (Weidenfeld and Nicholson, 1991) and for a comprehensive guide to records M. D. Herber's Ancestral Trails (Society of Genealogists, 1999) is invaluable. The local family history societies may be able to tell you if someone has already begun research on your family and The Northumberland and Durham Family History Society Journal provide regular advice. You may also consider attending a family history course. If you have any general family history queries, Northumberland Archives staff are happy to offer advice. They do, however, have a limited amount of time available and cannot give detailed advice about the techniques of research or guide you step by step through tracing your family tree. Their role is to advise on the sources available. Readers should also be aware that staff cannot spend extended periods of time providing assistance to new researchers. If you would like some extended one-to-one advice Once you have done some background reading, next gather all the information, which you can from members of your own family.
