  1. Thanks to Suzanne, I now have clarified the details of that part of my Family tree. Apologies to Waltham Wanderer for taking over his thread, but the evidence I have is that there was a regular flow of people too and from Norfolk to Bedlington in the 1800’s, but what their means of transport was, I do not know.
  2. I think Charlotte Drogier was still alive in 1911, (as she is on the 1911 Census) she passed away in 1916. Her first husband was Henry Slaughter, her second Husband was William Cole. William Cole had two children of his own from his first marriage to Margaret Wilkinson when Charlotte married him in 1902, They had no children together as Charlotte was too old to have children by the time of their marriage in 1902.
  3. Both Neave and slaughter are very common both in Norfolk and Bedlington, and the forenames they used were also very common, so it’s quite hard to get it all right. I have discovered a couple of new children from your tree, and will have a further look at it later. My tree is constantly being corrected as I find new evidence.
  4. Thanks, I found your tree but it will take a while to study it. I note you have Charlotte's death in 1910 but you have a 1911 census attached, the Charlotte on the 1911 census was originally Charlotte Wilkinson and is not the same one as far as I can see. I'll see how much else we have in common. My tree on Ancestry is TameProomEvans
  5. I have a Charlotte Drogies born 1845 marrying Henry Slaughter in 1866 in Norfolk, moving to Bedlington for a while around 1871 before going back to Norfolk. Do you have an tree online anywhere? My tree could be wrong.
  6. Yes, Jane Neave was formerly JAne Slaughter (from Norfolk) she married Robert Neave in Norfolk and it was after his death in 1881 she moved to Bedlington with all her children as Bedlington was where her father Matthew Slaughter and his family were already living. Most of them working as miners.
  7. I forgot to ask, what was your great grandmother's name?
  8. I would be interested in photos, as I do not have any at present. William Neave's daughter Mary Ann Neave, born in 1893, married George W Cole in Bedlington in 1913. I believe they had a son William Neave Cole in 1914, I am not currently aware of any other children, but have not fully explored this branch of my family. You can email me directly if you wish on bob.tame@hotmail.co.uk with a picture of Mary Ann and her husband. I have other Coles from the Northeast in my tree, I'm now wondering if there is a link there.

  11. Yes I have found him now, I think he was Thomas William Neave, and Married Penny Gray in 1962. I can trace his Family back to 1766 at which time they lived 10 miles from my Neave Family in Norfolk. I haven't found a link that says he's related to me, but its very useful info for identifying this other Neave family. One of My Neave Ancestors also started a business in Blyth with my Great Uncle, they were Neave and Proom and were wagon builders just after WW1, They emigrated in 1920s to South Africa and had a wagon works there for many years.
  12. William Neave, My Great Grandmother's Brother, lived at 47 North Terrace (on 1911 Census) but by 1939 he had moved to a retired Miners Home in Hartford, where he died in 1939. Thanks for the info.
  13. Thanks, I've made a note of him, and will see if I can find any info on him. I know that apart from my direct relatives there was a second family of Neave living nearby, so he might be one of mine or of this second family.
  14. Thanks Alan, I hadn't paid attention to which Bedlington Pit he was at but that's interesting information which I will look at again. I have found relatives born at Sleekburn, and family members at Bedlington Station, so it's interesting to see the distinction between Bedlington and Bedlington Station. A few seemed to have moved to Choppington as well so they were scatted about the area, My own great Grandma, while living in Bedlington met and married a man from Seaton Sluice, who worked at New Hartley Pit, and they lived in both of those places. I often wonder how they met. I have attached the inquest article re Robert, which may be of interest.
