Hi all with an interest in the Lunn family of Newcastle c1812 onwards or backwards and Edward Savage and his wife Ann.
My main focus of interest is my maternal line where it crosses with yours with, Margery Lunn who married William Hay and Mary Lunn nee Robson who was married to John Lunn, tailor of Harbottle. I have become quiet interested in how and why the family, once their father John Lunn died, all seemed to move to Newcastle. I am currently putting together all the bits of information I have from different sources and you may be interested in a thread about Ridley Villas which I posted and have had a lot of useful and helpful information. Both John and James Lunn lived in this row of houses which No 1/2 is still in Newcastle, Mary Lunn their mother died there. Frederick Lunn was running a pub called the Phoenix inn in Spicer Lane, opening on to the Quayside in 1827, which his brother John was ran in 1822, I believe the pub changed its name later to the Burns Tavern, and unfortunately is part of the foundations of the law courts now. I will have the opportunity to visit Newcastle within the 2/3 weeks and do some research in the library. I have recently received some documentation from the Northumberland archive's at Woodhorn about property that was owned by James Lunn in Harbottle and it helped me identify their mother’s maiden name as definitely Robson and gave a name to their mothers sister as well. I have lots of little bits of information about the Lunn family once they all got to Newcastle which may be of interest if you have not already got them. I am interested to find out where Frederick and John Lunn were buried, its on my 'to find list' when I visit Newcastle. Is there any thing specific you are stuck with that I might be able to help?
Carol
