Does anyone know where Holy Miers/Myers is or was? It's probably in the Hexham area. My great-great grandmother is shown in the 1871, 1881, 1891 & 1901 census as being born there. Her married name was Jane Greenwell, maiden name as yet unknown. Thanks in anticipation

Hi Suz
Thanks for this. I will certainly follow up.
BTW where can I find out what the various RootsChat 'rankings' (eg pioneer)mean?

The only Jane Kirkton that I can find on the 1841 in the area is in Wylam:
HO107/841 Bk 19 Folio 9 Page 11
Kirton
John, 45, coal miner
Sarah, 45
Joseph, 25
Ann, 15
Robert, 15
Thomas, 12
Jane, 10
Elizabeth, 8
Isabella, 4
Hannah, 1
John, 20
All b. Northumberland
I'm wondering about the Holy Mi/yers - I can't find it on any maps so far. There are a few places starting with Holly in the area - could it have been miswritten

If he is, it's within yelling distance of me 
I spent a while on the old-maps site looking around both Wylam/Ovingham and Hexham but haven't come up with anything yet.
I did find a Holly Moor (I think) colliery but that might have been later on and it was in Durham.
If her father was a coal miner, it's possible

Thanks to everyone who's pitching in. I feel slightly less stupid about not being able to find it myself!
