Good Heavens, Sandra, you are amazing to go to so much trouble on my behalf.  Thank you so much! I never thought anyone would resurrect this 12 year old thread, and did have most of info in your earlier posts. However, I don't have many of the newspaper clippings in your later posts. The real gem, however, is Emma's death in 1922 which has eluded me.

Neil M Burton (1922-2000) was the son of Jean Goudie Russell's previous marriage, I think. See 1930 census. Jean was 39 and Newark 60 when they married in 1932. Neil M Russell was 10 when they married, and seems to have taken the name Burton at that point. I do not think Newark and Jean had any children.

Incidentally I wrote the FindaGrave pieces on Newark and Jean. I asked for a picture of the cemetery and had their gravemarkers posted within 24 hours, by another amazingly helpful person.

So, thank you all again.

Cleveland ironstone Miners:

Do you have any in your tree? I do - g grandfather died in the Lumpsey mine in 1910, having migrated to the Cleveland Gold Rush in the 1870s, before he was 20, with most of his Cornish tin-miner family.

There is a campaign, running out of time, to buy a little bit of Cleveland history here:

I think it is important to save a bit of history, so do take a look.

Do you have any in your tree? My great grandfather died in the Lumpsey Mine in an accident in 1910. There is a campaign to save a vital bit of local heritage, please help if you have any interest:

Boltburn, I, too am a BURTON from the Staithes line.

Mark BURTON (my great grandfather) marry Jane Ann Mary Maria LINCOLN, age 22 at the Parish Church, Marske on 4 Nov 1865

I asked about this lot when I started, see this thread:

Some of the information in that thread is wrong, as you can see, especially with confusion  over the bride's father's first name.

Have just read the whole thread. Because I am waiting for a skype from far far away and a bit bored.

People who set up their computers to NOT receive (MS) updates are making themselves very vulnerable, but, worse, are jeopardizing all the rest of us. If you have a Windows operating system PC you can easily find (just GIYF) information as to how your, yes YOUR PC, can easily be taken over and used as a spambot. And many other bad things can happen - email accounts compromised, keyloggers installed, loads of other Bad Things. It is the huge numbers of naive windows users which make this operating system so vulnerable.

So, please, update your windows OS and RTFM. (GIYF)

Even my 85 year old Mum knows better than some of the posters on this thread!
