Hi jadzia

thanks very much for this - yes it was a long time ago - I was sorting out family history for my neice - who actually lives in Thistleton now!  It is her Husband's family I was researching, so I can add this information to her file and let her know.  Many thanks.

There was a chemists called Golightlys on Park View in Whitley Bay, maybe they had a number of shops in the area.  It was a big shop with wonderful mahogany cupboards full of medicines etc in those big glass jars.  Hope this helps

Northumberland / Re: Northumberland Quarter Sessions 1816 George Weedy
« on: Wednesday 20 August 14 19:49 BST (UK)  »
Hi Radcliff

Apologies for taking so long to reply - time and other family things do take over sometimes

The George WEEDY who married Jane Tweedy in 1798 could be the one as he was around 40 years of age (born 1776 or 1780 - depending on records) when the offense was committed.  He was sentenced to 2 years but where?

Jane Weedy (Tweedy) was 55 when she died and I have checked the parish originals - around 20 days after she had given birth to a daughter - yes I am unhappy at the age of death - but that is what the original record says.

GEORGE WEEDY then married Mary Fell and they had a 10 children.  There is a gap between Isabella 1815 and James 1819 which made me wonder if George was in prison, but then the next child is born 1822 so they did not have a child every year.

George and Mary moved from WArkworth and went to live in Whickham where he died in 1842.

There are one or two George Weedy's who live in the Warkworth/Shilbottle area and he could be the brother of my Thomas - everyone doing Weedy trees puts them together but I am a bit undecided as yet.  I was hoping if he was in prison 1816 -1818 he could not be George Weedy with Mary Fell.  Maybe he was another George Weedy who was the black sheep in my family tree.

I am also studying WEEDY as a member of the Guild of ONE-NAME. STUDIES and have tried to cover every GEORGE but that far back is quite difficult with no-one able to help with prison records and deaths.

Know anywhere else I can look?
Thanks Marion

Northumberland / Northumberland Quarter Sessions 1816 George Weedy
« on: Sunday 12 January 14 17:43 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone tell me where the Northumberland Quarter Sessions  Summer Assizes were held in 1816. Alnwick?
George Weedy was convicted of larceny and sentenced to 2 years imprisonment.  Which jail would he have been sent to.  If he died in jail are there any records for his death?  I am trying to sort out if he is one of two George Weedy's born around the same time or just 1 person whom I am muddling up with a different Weedy family.
Any help gratefully appreciated.

Dear Kevin

My Isabella is Isabella Russell who married Philip Hildreth - your Margaret's brother.  I have quite a bit of rough information on the HIldreth's mainly from Berwick archives and other sources, if you need to contact me off list I shall be happy to share it with you.
I have not looked at this section of my tree for ages so maybe I'll start again.

Dear Kevin

Many thanks for giving us this information.  Great to have this record - Isabella is the sister of my one of my 3 x gt grandmothers who also had an irregular border marriage in Berwick - now I will go back an put the information into my records.

Many thanks - it pays to keep looking!!

I went to Park Junior School 1949-1954.  If you want a photo of the school then maybe the Whitley Guardian may have an old photo which appeared in the paper before the school was pulled down.  You could also just google it and see what comes up.

I still have my 2nd and 4th year photos taken in the playground with just the building in the background so not much seen there.

Dear Noreen

  On doing a trawl for info on the Weeedy family I came across your post from 2007 and thought you might me interested in the following.  The James Weedy who was murdered was nephew of my 3 x gt grandmother.  I have photocopies of newspaper articles which I purchased from York Library.  Robert Kitching writes to his wife and children before he is hung at York.  I was hoping for more about James Weedy but in the main it is all about Robert, his trial and his family as well as the murder itself.  Worth contacting  them

Ryles Department Store was on Park View on the corner with Roxburgh Terrace, it took up a considerable site.  In recent years it has been a health club.  I have not been there for a few years - if it was ever on Whitley Road, it must have been before the 1950's as I lived on the next road to Roxburgh Terrace and saw it most days on my way to school.
