Can anyone help? My name is Brian Harvey, and I am trying to research my Mothers past. Her name was Violet Eleanor Newton who was born in Trimdon on the 6/7/1914 and lived at 17 OVERMANS ROW. Her fathers name was Fred Allen Newton Born in Darlington in 1890, and lived in the RISE CARR area. In fact the Newtons lived in that area for more than 40 years prior to the 1911 census. Violets Mothers name was Margaret Mary Ann Robinson Newton, late Ashcroft, formally French. She was born in Minton Durham in 1885, her father being Thomas French.
Following the death of Margaret Newton when Violet was quite young, it would appear that father and daughter moved to Hampshire where they spent the rest of their lives.I’m sure there must be a lot of long lost relatives in the Darlington area, so any information that can enlighten the past would be appreciated. Thank you, Brian Harvey on brianrvs@hotmail.com

NOBLE FAMILY. I am researching my husbands ancestors on his mothers side. Hannah Noble, Alice, Humphrey, Jim, Martha – descendants of Humphrey (Dad).
I am told there were quite a few Nobles related in Trimdon Village. We have an address South Cedar Road and Dyke Street and William Street, Trimdon. Ancestors were Humphrey and Ann Dawson. One of the Nobles had been married before and they had about 10 children -all girls. I am told a Thomas Noble was in the family too. Don’t know if these are your in your tree?
Thank you; Jill Love Email: lovejil05@gmail.com

NOBLE FAMILY – Having read your request for information regarding the Noble family, the names you mentioned are I think my families relatives. My name is Ian Noble (Trimdon Village) My late father was Albert Noble born Low Hogg Street, Trimdon Colliery 1908 , I believe that Humphrey , Charlie, Hannah, Martha, Jimmy, and Annie are my fathers brothers and sisters. Hope this is of some help. Looking forward to hearing from you.
