Northumberland / Re: Lamberton Toll Registers of Henry Collins 1833-1849
« on: Sunday 25 July 21 18:05 BST (UK)  »
Boo and JenB

Both sites (NA and Woodhorn) cannot produce ANY films for Lamberton Toll marriages.

I searched for :
Cross Border marriages
Irregular Border marriages
Lamberton Toll
Coldstream marriages  (just in case they were bundled together)
Non-Conformist marriages

with no results.

I can only think that the film has not been catalogued, I know Woodhorn has a huge backlog. I think they've been working on that during lockdown so maybe the catalogue will get bigger :-)

I know what they have on the shelves but was unaware of any film for Lamberton Toll. What I will chase up are the 74 marriage certificates from various "marriage houses" collected and transcribed by Linda Bankier the Berwick archivist.

Tip for the future, when looking for things at Woodhorn (NBL Archives) use the National Archives website, then drill down the results for NBL Archives holdings. Easier catalogue to navigate.

The few folders of Cross Border marriages are on the open shelves at Woodhorn but like the films, they are inaccessible at the moment, due to Covid restrictions.

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: 1871 census look up please for Tiplady

Matthew and Dorothy Tiplady(nee Mason). I have traced the Tipladys back to the early 1600s if anyone is interested.

Northumberland / Re: Mary Laidlaw born 1831
« on: Sunday 10 January 21 21:16 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All
This Thomasine Tilley was a distant aunt of mine. Her parents had their 2 last children at Longhaughshield in 1790 and 1792. Thomasine was their 1st child and she had been born on the east side of Bellingham. However after her parents left Longhaughshield, she stayed on, having her 1st child, William in 1805. He died in 1827 at Longhaughshield, seemingly unmarried. Her 2nd child Mary was born about 1814 and died the next year. I've not found any other children of Thomasine. From then on she lived sometimes as a house servant and more frequently taking in lodgers. There was a large extended family of Tilleys in the Bellingham area who appeared from nowhere when Thomasine was baptised in 1774. After 25 years I still haven't definitely found where they came from.

I have no Laidlaw's in my tree or related Tilley/Ridleys.

From the number of people getting born married and buried from Longhaugh Shield, there was more than one farmhouse, probably several cottages and outbuildings where the farmworkers and their families lived. All of my family who lived there went to Bellingham C of E church for their religious life.
This won't help you with Mary Laidlaw's birth but might give you some background.

One other point, there are two copies of the Bellingham parish registers and there is still a gap of about ten critical years.

The Common Room / Re: Familysearch website clunky and unreliable
« on: Wednesday 30 December 20 11:21 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks Boo

As you say "online" is ambiguous in this context, maybe they should replace it with "digitised but not available online to the public"

I have recently found that by going to "images" in the FS gateway, it will take you to actual images but, once again you need patience. At least they are THERE and you can see them without a visit to an archive. The images are not searchable and several places will be on the same film.

I AM grateful that LDS provide access to so many other resources but as a very technology savvy institution, they can be very old-school at times. (Remember the "new" version of the IGI that was very much worse than the old one?)

Sorry, rant over, it's a lovely sunny crisp day, I'm going out for a walk :-)

Here is my latest attempt

Catalogue
Search for place                Bellingham, Northumberland, availability Online
Church records             chose one below
Bellingham parish chest records 1793-1861
    To view digital images of these England, Northumberland, Cumberland, Durham, Miscellaneous
    Records, click here. Not available on microfilm.
Clicked on "here"
Result     "England, Northumberland, Cumberland, Durham, Miscellaneous Records, 969-2007"
"View Images in this Collection        Browse through 357,910 images"
 "Clicked on Browse through Images
Then clicked on "Northumberland
Then clicked on "Bellingham"
Then clicked on "Churchwardens Minutes 1793-1821"

I got the dreaded "To view these images do one of the following:
Access the site at a family history center."

An awful lot of choosing and clicking only to find it's not "online" as it states right at the beginning.

Before Covid, I could look at these at the Northumberland Archives ten minutes away. Now we are limited to any online resources. I am aware some of the records are not public because of the owner's stipulations. Is this a case of mis-filing?

The Common Room / Familysearch website clunky and unreliable

I've been looking for miscellaneous records on Familysearch and after drilling down through several menus and ticking the box for Records Online (NOT those is Family History Centre) all I get are the records you can only see in Family History Centres. Why doesn't the filter work properly?
