This morning I was in my local library and came across a book called "Northumberland and Durham, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Berwick-upon-Tweed Local Records - A Historical Register of Remarkable Events"
It was first published in 1866 and re-published in the 1970's. Volume 1 covers from the Romans to 1799, the last entry (which IS indexed) being:
This year, the Society of Arts presented the gold medal to Mr Matthew Forster, of Broomy-holme, near Chester-le-Street, for observations on the comparative culture of turnips.
Volume 2 covers from 1800-1832, a random entry being:
1824, Jan 17 - died, at South Shields, Mrs Dobson, aged 100 years
If you think I can help with a lookup, please ask. Please give all known details!
I have borrowed the books until the 3rd January...but am away over Christmas - last lookups that I can do will need to be posted by 6pm Christmas Eve! Have a good Christmas!!
