Ages rounded down

The most likely marriage seems to be in the second quarter of 1839 at Hexham (25 307) William Harle & Ann Brown - but a copy of one of their children’s birth certificates should be consulted, to be certain.

They are visible on all relevant, later censuses. Their other children are ...

Margaret c1843, Peter c1844, Ann c1847, Mary c1849, Isabella c1855 all at Ovingham and Robert c1860 Bebside

  Just a snippet on "places" for this family !

Robert was likely born in a small community on the southern bank of the River Blyth. 

The world renowned " Bedlington Iron Works" ( invention of malleable iron for longer railway lines) was split between two sites, one on the Bedlington (north) side of the River Blyth, other on south bank. Both called Bedlington Iron works, after the name of the company not the twon/parish of Bedlington.

The Bedlington side made rails etc, and the southern side made steam locomotives ( George Stephenson had worked there in early 1800s)

By 1860s the works was in decline- other manufacturers had caught up. The loco- building part had closed in 1855s. 

At the same time a new coal pit had been sunk in the Cowpen Township
( Cowpen was one of the five Townships that comprised the Parish of Horton).

Miners employed were housed around the pithead which also lay within Cowpen Township. The small community that built up here took it's name from the mine-owning company, and became known as Bebside Colliery village, or just Bebside Colliery.

Other incoming miners topok up residence in the houses that had been vacated by redundant iron workers at the southern site of Bedlington Iron works. This community eventually became known as Bebside Furnace- or in my time "The Furnace".

On the 1861 census the enumerator used his options to record in the "Where Born" column, the Parish in which Robert was born -Horton

In the 1871, the Ashington area enumerator chooses to record Robert's place of birth- Bebside- he might not have known in which Parish Bebside lay ?

 Ashington grew to become known as the " Largest Mining village in the World "

Sorry this was more of a Snip rather than a Snippet !
