Hi Christine,
Thanks for your rapid response. I would love to get a copy of the whole letter from you. Thanks so much for making this available to other folks interested in Alnmouth and its families. Unfortunately I do not have a direct connection to the writer of your letter, but much appreciate their letter writing habit.
I will make another separate post, which will be my third and hopefully will make it possible to get the information from you. A great entry to RootsChat.
Best wishes
Wendy

Hi Christine, can you tell me about the HEATLEYS mentioned in your letter, my forebears were Henry and Mary Heatley. One daughter also called Mary married a Henry Barlow, and they lived in Alnmouth after their marriage in 1869. Another, Ellen, married her cousin Andrew Heatley.
Also any mention of the GIBB family? Thanks, Figgy

Hi Figgy, welcome to rootschat.
Only a sentence each on your family I'm afraid.
"Henry Gibb is a ship captain and lives in Newcastle"
"Henry Heatley is a draper in Alnwick"
Hope this is not too disappointing
Christine

Thanks Christine, every litle helps bring the past alive. Henry H the draper was a son of the Henry and Mary I mentioned. He died fairly young and is buried in Alnwick. Cheers, Figgy

Sorry, Figgy, no Inns. Just church, school, shops and gas works - not a pub mentioned though I am sure there would be some

I've been really pleased that it has turned out to be useful. It would have been such a shame to leave it lurking on my computer - alone and unread!

Hi Christine
What a great letter to have.
I'm interested in any mention of the name Cairns.
Many thanks

Hi there,
Just a holding message for now as I am visiting my daughter and several hundred miles from my computer so can't access the letter. There is a reference to Cairns in reply no 2 and this may be all there is. I will look it up for you on my return home on Sunday/Monday.
Christine

Hi Maggiemae,
Apart from the little bit mentioned above here's what the letter includes about Cairns
"Old Ralph Cairns and family have been in Denwick a long time, except the son Ralph, who is living in Newcastle-on-Tyne, where he has a very good business, I believe. He deals greatly in foreign hay and straw. he is also married. The rest of them are single. "
Hope this is useful.
Christine

If you are in Alnmouth you should pop into the Red Lion and say hello toMac & Jame McHugh. Very good friends of mine from my military and a cracking pint and food to boot
