Near Blyth? Completed with thanks

[Mr. Tibbs]

My Grandmother's niece, Sarah HOAD, was born in 1860 supposedly in Wallsend.  She married Robert WEIGHTMAN circa 1879 at St. Mary's, Harton and both stated their address as Cowpen Quay.  Can anyone explain to me where Harton and Cowpen Quay are, please?

  Cowpen Quay,  definitately here in Blyth Northumberland.
     
 Harton was probably Horton, as pronounced so by us Geordies

If you go to http://gis.durham.gov.uk/website/interMAP/viewer.htm and put the coordinates 427510, 579690 in to 'search' it will center the map on St. Mary's Horton on the 1980-1994 map.
