Hello,
My primary aim in joining this site is to see if there is anybody researching a family tree for a family named either Bell or Blackburn (possibly Auton, but they may all be related) who lived near Newcastle. Some other (admittedly sparse) details are:
Dora Bell lived at Burnopfield in the late 1970s.
Ruth Auton wife of Robert Auton with a date of July 15 1877.
Mary Jane (surname of Mother – Jane Allenby formerly Stephens), Sub district of Stamfordham in the County of Northumberland dated July 29 1854 Heddon on the Wall.
William Blackburn died October 20 1887 63 years. His name also appears as ‘Blarkburn’ and has a record of 14 children born at West Wylam and North Wylam, 7 of whom died.
Jane Allambey died September 3 1893.
If so, I may have something of interest for them.
