Northumberland memories
Looking For Jean Laverick (maiden Name)
Does anyone know of Jean Laverick and her two sisters (Margaret and Anne) who lived in Holystone, Whitley Bay in the late 1940s? We were the NZ family who lived down the road and we played and went to Sunday School together. I would love to have contact with Jean and any member of her family after all these years. I shall be in Northumberland in June this year (2012) and it would be wonderful to meet up again. Ngaire (Atkinson)

Calder Farm, Roddam
Last year I visited the place in search for memories of my old folks. I came from Argentina, my country, and stayed at Cheviot View B & B run by Dean & Kay Wilkinson, lovely people, located in close by Powburn village. The story has that some almost two hundred years ago my gt gt gd father, Mr James G. Davison who had been born at the above mentioned farm came to South America and never went back to UK (about 1822). Some ten years later his younger brother Robert Gibson Davison (George Davison and Sarah Gibson were their parents) joined him and together travelled north Argentina up to Corrientes province where the set their business. For that reason I visited the Farm during July 2010 but apparently it was closed as no one answered. Since a Mr James Gibson, married abt 1798 to Eleanor Rutherford, lived at that time in the Farm, I presume the place belonged to the Gibson family but I could not trace that... Read more
War Years
I remember the army on the village green with their huts around the tank turn which is still there to-day. I have many happy memories of life in the village and how wives of soldiers came and stayed with the families who found them beds.
Wilma Rutherford
Does any one have any memories of a Wilma Rutherford? She was a friend of my mother's and I would love to hear any memories of her.
Family Stories
My maternal grandfather was born in Stockton on Tees in 1892. His father died, and his mother remarried resulting in him being farmed out to live with two maiden aunts who lived in "Tarset". My brother and I have tried in vain to find exactly where this might have been (I now think that Tarset was in fact a parish). His name was John (Jack) Robinson and the aunts' surname could have been Douglas. He had an older brother, Robert, and a younger sister Mary who remained with her mother. Robert married Eleanor Fenwick and emigrated to Australia. Mary never married and died in Benwell, Newcastle upon Tyne around 1982.
Is there anyone out there who can fill in some of the gaps for me?
Mgt Watson
I attended this school somewhere around 1955-1957. Does anyone remember those years especially if you were in Pennine house dormitory?
Teachers as I remember were Bradbury, Barker & Craig for the girls dorms and Commander and Mrs Redman were the Heads [I think]!
