It's all ok from my end, Aspin!  It can sometimes get a little confusing with all the back and forth.  Thanks for explaining the reply.

I'm from Blyth, and my mother's maiden name was Dixon, but I think her father came from around York. It's a very common surname.
Also have relatives in the sheep farming part of the north of the county. Hedley.
Hoping Michael is OK too.

A recent interested party especially when there is mention of Blyth, North Blyth, Percy Main, Newbiggin, Ashington,  Woodhorn Colliery ... Thanks to Michael Dixon for increasing the blood pressure just a little
My grandparents lived in Newbiggin (Paternal... Brown, James and Mary lived at 7 Woodhorn Rd Newbiggin while Maternal ... Williamson, Edward ended his days at 3 King George's Rd Newbiggin.
From family discussions I believe the Browns migrated to Northumberland from Ireland while the Williamsons fit into the 'Jacobite' scene referred to in previous posts.
Family singalongs at various times during WWII (my early childhood in North Blyth) support my ancestry theory with distinct leanings towards Ireland or Scotland depending on which family you were visiting.
My mother being the daughter of Edward Williamson entertained us (3 children of pre and School age) during WWII with many songs that she obviously learned from her family.  Quite a large framed print of 'The Young Pretender' had pride of place in her home ...
As a matter of family interest James and Mary Brown had 5 children: William (my father), John, Joe Jimmy and Mary while Edward and Hellen Williamson (died aged 45) had 3 children Sadie, Florence and Mary (my mother).
With school years shared between Blyth, Percy Main and North Shields, an apprenticeship at Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Co. Ltd. Wallsend followed by 17 years in the British Mercantile Marine (Merch. For the locals). Following other migration paths it looks as though I will end my days in sunny Australia
Thanks to all who make these fascinating threads possible ...
