Northumberland / The LONG family of Netherton Colliery
« on: Thursday 22 March 12 13:28 GMT (UK) »
Hello there,
I am trying to find more information (a photograph would be wonderful) of Andrew LONG, who lived from 1870, and married Elizabeth MARSHALL in 1894 (both from Cowpen) and died at Netherton around 1936, aged about 66. He was a Deputy OVERMAN at the pit. My grandmother was his daughter, she was Elizabeth Long (same name as her mother upon marriage). Apart from my grandmother Elizabeth Long, there were other siblings including John LONG who lived at 14 Cowgate Street, Cambois, near Blyth, for about 30 years ending when Cambois Colliery Closed in 1968.
I have used ancestry.co for basic research but hope for more intimate details such as a photograph. I know his family originated from Norfolk, Hindringham, and I know his father was Samuel Long (who married Elizabeth Hardy).
I hope I may get a copy of a photograph of him. Archives at Woodhorn enquiry said they had no colliery info on Netherton, but it was a 3 rd enquiry and the guy was very rushed so I could try there again in a different approach.
Anyone busy with the Longs, perhaps with a photo box with a picture of him and his wife in?
I do have 2 super photos of some of the Marshall girls.
Kind regards
