PLEASE ALWAYS ENCLOSE A STAMPED ADDRESSED ENVELOPE FOR YOUR REPLY (TWO INTERNATIONAL REPLY COUPONS FROM OVERSEAS MEMBERS) AND QUOTE YOUR MEMBERSHIP NUMBER. EDITORIAL A big thank you to members who responded to my plea in the last Journal for material for publication in future issues. I seem to have struck a chord or two, or perhaps shamed you into it! Whatever the reason, I am most grateful. I have received a lot of interesting items -- and I have had to hold over perfectly acceptable material until another day, for space reasons. I know this will disappoint the kind folk who responded. Now that you have started, keep the momentum up -- keep on sending! This edition includes an article from your Chairman demonstrating that America's First Lady descends from a County Durham family. She may also be distantly related (very distantly!) by a marriage 200 years ago, to George Hepplewhite, the furniture designer! We also mention another County Durham man who reputedly aided another American President in his death agonies. We have quite a bit about the worthy seamen of Sunderland, of both `Merchant' and `Royal Navy' variety. Not to mention the usual `Members Interests' section, to which some of you always turn first, so I am told! Hope springs eternal in genealogical breasts, I suppose, and I trust all of you will find something of interest in the Journal -- and perhaps a mention of your ancestor in the many, maybe too many, lists of names in this issue. But you do want lists of names, don't you, in which you will find a clue to assist with your own research? Good hunting! You will find details of some new publications, arising from the work of volunteers within the membership and their efforts are much appreciated. A request here -- if any of you are thinking of undertaking indexing of Census or other material, or recording of Monumental Inscriptions, do please contact us first, so that advice can be given on the format and also, most importantly, to ensure that no one else is already working on the same material. Duplication of effort is such a pity when there is so much to do. NOTES AND NEWS The London Group of N.D.F.H.S . is holding a One Day Conference on 26th March at the Society of Genealogists. The subject is "Trade and Occupations of the North-East" and the four speakers will cover "Beer, Barley and Brigs" (north-east brewers and the local shipping industry), "What did Uncle Harry do?" (Regimental Service records), "Occupations in Towns" and "Glass Making in Tyne and Wear". Cost is £11 including lunch. Closing date for applications is early March . Contact Mrs. W. Bennett, 16 Grayshott Laurels, Lindford, Hampshire, telephone: 0420-473221. Do you have ancestors

  • Throckley Leazes Tenants and Residents Group
    Throckley Leazes Tenants and Residents Group Established January 1998 Chairman Jennie Stokell Vice Chairman Secretary Carol Eddy Treasurer Sheila Grey Monday 22 August 2016 David Owen, Review Officer, (Newcastle upon Tyne) Local Government Boundary Commission for England, 14th Floor, Millbank Tower, Millbank, London, SW1P 4QP. Dear Sir or Madam, Ref : City of Newcastle upon Tyne - Draft Recommendations on New Electoral Arrangements - Callerton Throckley I have been asked by our Ward Counsellors to thank you for putting Walbottle back into this electoral ward. My Group are still not happy about this new ward created by apparently adding odd bits of the outer City to Newburn, Throckley, etc, to create a “patchwork” ward with little cohesion along its length once away from the riverside settlements. Our objections are as follows 1. Consultation. My Group are disappointed that the City Council have again failed to publise this consultation about the proposed changes to the ward boundaries and the implications to the people living in the areas. We have found when raising the issue at our meetings and in private conversations, that there is more interest than we would have expected once the whole project relating to the proposed changes around Throckley and Newburn are explained. This interest is across the age ranges of residents, not simply among the elderly who have memories of the Newburn Urban District Council and its governance of the area prior to Newburn, etc. inclusion in the City of Newcastle upon Tyne. Local people are possessive of the long term history of their area and the events which make up their social and cultural heritage.

Michele rated it liked it May 01, The cause of death recorded on his death certificate is that of English cholera and typhoid. Views Read Edit View history. South London Hardcore. Joseph Nattrass revised his will for Mary to become his estate inheritance and died from gastric fever not too long after. Even though Cotton may not have been Britain's first female serial killer per se, it doesn't take away from the heinous crimes she committed and the fascination still attached to them. Rating details. Even more astonishing, to modern eyes, is that nobody connected the deaths for so long. Lori Shea rated it it was ok Aug 27, It was not unusual for wives to be left widowed from such illnesses or industrial accidents or for their children to never make it to adulthood. This article includes a list of general references , but it remains largely unverified because it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. Once again, Mary Ann collected insurance money in respect of her husband's death. Visit our adblocking instructions page. For example, he discussed the historical context of admitting evidence of other supposed murders in a trial and why Mary Ann's execution was private and not public. Each new chapter provides another layer of events involving Mary Ann Cotton, all of which appear to have resulted in the death of individuals close to her.

The 283mm (11”) guns for the battery came from the damaged battleship Gneisenau. The guns were then installed in the mountains above the island of Sotra to protect the entrance to Bergen. These modern and accurate guns had a range of 24 miles and were protected by several anti-aircraft batteries supported by air search radar. Extensive ground fortifications protected the battery as well. The battery had a crew of 250 men. The Battery Fjell unit featured in this set represents the battery itself but also a number of other defensive fortifications, garrison units and light weapons.
