I'm lost in Genuki  Can anyone tell me whether Blyth and Cowpen are close?
There's a John Lumsden age 18, coal Miner on the Cowpen 1851 census, born Cowpen
Trying to answer my own question: I think the answer is yes.
For Blyth it says: see under Horton and Earsdon
Horton "HORTON is a parochial chapelry comprising the townships of Bebside. Cowpen, Hartford East, Hartford West, and Horton, whose united area is 5,550 acres. It is bounded on the north by the river Blyth, on the west by the parish of Stannington, on the south by Earsdon parish and Cramlington chapelry, and on the east by the parish of Earsdon and the port of Blyth.
Earsdon: Earsdon, a parish comprising the townships of Backworth, Blyth and Newsham, Burradon, Earsdon, Hartley, Holywell, Seaton Delaval, and Sighill, is bounded on the north by Bedlingtonshire, on the west by Long Benton, Cramlington, and Horton, on the south by Tynemouth, and on the east by the German Ocean.

Can't resist the Cowpen/Blyth angle.
Growing up straddling the borders of the ancient parishes of Horton and Earsdon, Blyth was the new boy on the block with no sway or antiquity.
The north and western part of what is today the town of Blyth was in the ecclesiastic "township" of Cowpen. ( The then term "township" related to an area, a sub-division of a parish, and did not relate to a town)
Cowpen was the largest "township" of the five within of Horton parish.
The southern part of Blyth lay in the "township" of Newsham ( later renamed Newsham and South Blyth) one of the eight townships that made up Earsdon Parish.
This old boundary in Blyth of the two parishes is today marked by Plessey Road and Union Street.
In reply to Tati's question about whether Blyth and Cowpen ARE close?. Then, Blyth lay WITHIN Cowpen("township"), as also did Cowpen village, Cowpen Newtown, Cowpen Quay and three of the four pits all called Cowpen Colliery)
Now there are no such things as ecclesiastical "townships" and Blyth ( as Blyth Valley Borough) has gobbled up all it's nearby elders.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
John Lumsden on C1851 ( 2412-411-49) lived in South Pit Houses. The South Pit was one of four pits in the area, which were all called Cowpen Colliery. This "South Pit" was also called the "A" Pit... and it lay in Blyth.
Blyth modern street Bolam Avenue and Blyth Sports Centre are on ground that was the colliery yard and cottages of this pit.
Web site communities.northumberland.gov.uk
( >Blyth>Ordnance Maps>1860 etc) shows streets adjacent to the pits. As well as old photos of Blyth)
