Pace and Ions families in Burnopfield
« on: Wednesday 12 July 17 00:13 BST (UK) »
I am looking for information on the Pace family in Burnopfield particularly George Pace who is known to have been a publican in 1856 and Richard Pace who was also a publican in 1894 - possibly father and son.  Many thanks.

You have posted on the Durham board but isn't Burnopfield in Newcastle - Northumberland?

I am trying to identify anything at all about them, they are mystery men in the village but, because of their trade, they should have been well known.  Other than the dates I have found in trade directories, I have drawn a complete blank.

I have Ion's family, but mine were from Whitechapel, Essex and Lambeth Surrey
Have a couple of DNA matches to descendants of my Thomas Ion (c1767 - 1849)

Hello CaroleW

Burnopfield has a Newcastle post code but it is very much in County Durham.  Until a couple of years ago it was in the District of Derwentside but reverted to County Durham when the unitary council came into being

Hello Kiwicol,

Until tonight I would have thought that a very unusual name to find up here but I have found several in County Durham and more still on the Northumberland side of the river.  They could well have moved here from the south but that would have to be in the late 1700s/early 1800s.  I am desperately trying for a link of any kind.

Carole W,

That is him!  I know that it is the same man because the occupation is right, the village is right and the name of the Inn is right!  My problem is that there is no trace of an inn by that name in the village!  Burnopfield was also in Tanfield Chapelry at that time.  However, I can only assume that the inn must have either closed down or changed its name.  There are a few old inns and closed inns in the village and there was once two breweries there but none of the local historians have ever heard of the Queens Head - yet yours is the second source to mention it today.
