Christine ,
Sorry for the relay
I had computer trouble last night and just got it up and running again tonight
All I have on Elizabeth Bell is her marriage to Selby Douglas from Tweedmouth 2.12.1844 the address is }Radcliffe Terrace Selby full age Elizabeth under age
her father is John Bell a Carrier and Selby's father John Douglas a Pitman
Looking at 1881 census the family with Selby and Elizabeth
Are Margaret aged 22,Robert 19,Joanna 16 all born Radcliffe then Mary aged 14 born Slackburn ( this could be Sleekburn ) and John aged 12.b Chevington
also living in the house with them are two granddaughters Elizabeth Bell and Barbara A Douglas both born Chevington
you are right Amble is on the east coast JenB
Pityackafromblyth sorry have I that right
Amble once had a big fishing fleet when my husband first started fishing in 1962 now we only have a few boats left its such a shame but this in modern times and cut backs have made the fleet dwindle away
Yes I remember the staithes and it was terrible in those days trying to keep the white washing white
if the wind was from the west .
I married and came into Amble in 1959 so I really cannot tell you about the coal part of it .As i came from up the north road a village on the A1
But I do know Blyth was and still is a much bigger Port I still have to go there if our fishing boat is there
Elizabeth
