The Covid pandemic has changed how the council and Area Action Partnerships (AAPs) have had to work as many communities and local residents have struggled because of the restrictions that we have all had to follow.

Thousands of people have stepped forward and have taken action to ensure The AAP Area the most isolated and vulnerable have been looked after.

  • North East Inheritance
    North East Inheritance Exhibition Catalogue 21 September – 16 October 2009 Palace Green Library 1 The North East Inheritance Project Durham University Library today holds some 150,000 probate records of 75,000 individuals from County Durham and Northumberland - the old Durham diocese - who lived between the early 16th century and the mid-19th century. With the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund, English Record Collections, Durham University and the Genealogical Society of Utah the North East Inheritance project has catalogued and digitally photographed the Durham diocese probate collection (1526- 1858). The collection will be made freely available online in 2010. Probate is the process of proving a will and of administering the estate of a deceased person. This process is today overseen nationally by the civil courts, but before 1858 probate business in England and Wales was administered in the main by ecclesiastical courts in a system of provincial, diocesan and special jurisdictions. In the natural course of several hundred years of this work substantial probate record collections have accumulated in various registries and archives. Making the Durham records available online and for free now offers to historians and genealogists an unsurpassed opportunity for study and discovery. This exhibition offers a selection of probate records from the Durham collection. These have been chosen to illustrate both the probate process and various typical document types, and also to illustrate a number of research topics for which probate records can provide important evidence. The plan of the exhibition topics is as follows. 1 Introduction p.3 2 Family History p.5 3 Local History p.9 4 Academic Use of Probate p.13 5 Death, Dying and Disposal p.17 6 Health and Medicine p.20 7 Plague p.23 8 The Wreck of the Palermo p.26 9 Trade and Industry p.28 10 Literacy and Education p.31 11 Enemies, Foreign and Domestic p.33 12 Northeasterners Abroad p.36 Will of Peter Trumbel of Gateshead, butcher.

  • But Not Forgotten
    16 BARNINGHAM LOCAL HISTORY GROUP BUT NOT FORGOTTEN A selection of extraordinary lives featured in The Archive, newsletter of Barningham Local History Group By JON SMITH Written, designed and produced by Jon Smith using Adobe PageMaker, Microsoft Word and Adobe Photoshop. First printed 2015 Digitalised 2017 © Barningham Local History Group 2015 Printed copies of this booklet may be obtained from Barningham Local History Group www.barninghamvillage.co.uk Tel 01833 621374 or email jonxxsmith@gmail,com BLHG 16 1710 [2] BUT NOT FORGOTTEN 3 Introduction The rich and the righteous, the doomed and the damned WHEN in 2009 I produced the first issue of theArchive , the newsletter of Barn- ingham Local History Group, I thought we’d be lucky to find enough material to fill half a dozen pages three or four times a year. Eight years, 55 issues and half a million words later, I’m still astonished how much we’ve discovered to tell about the past of one tiny village and its neighbours. Among the hundreds of stories we’ve printed are many about long-forgotten people who made headlines during their lifetime. Their existence would have remained buried in the past but for the arrival of the internet: the digitalisation of parish records, censuses, and above all local newspapers has made it wonderfully possible to re-discover them and put together the jigsaw of their lives and times. This file offers a small selection of those I’ve found and written about in the Archive. They include the rich and the righteous, the poor and the persecuted, doers of good deeds and convicted criminals, the unbelievably fortunate and the tragically ill-fated, the daring, disgraceful, the doomed and the damned.
