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

Christine, forgot to ask, does the letter mention the Schooner Inn? Figgy

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

What a lovely find c-side and thanks for sharing it with us.  I don't have any names you mentioned but it is amazing that some of the names are actually relevant to some rootschatters!

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.
