jacdee,
Go to the genuki site mentioned by Sue...
( sorry, I am hopeless at web page references)
go to... England... then Northumberland... then Civil Registrations.. then near bottom click on "Registrations from 1837..."
See the 12 District Registration areas that made up Northumberland then, choose "Glendale" to see all the places/towns/villages within the Glendale reg district.
In the general sense, Glendale is not town or village but name of an area. The physical registration of BMD would have been done at one of the two main "centres" within Glendale, either Ford or Wooler.
Alnwick was also a Registration District and had three sub-district offices for registrations... Alnwick itself, Embleton and Warkworth... Amble folk would have registered their BMDs at Warkworth sub-district office, and these would show up on BMD indexes under Alnwick.
So as Glendale was a territory rather a particular "spot". it is difficult to "distance" it from other places.
See also on Genuki the "live" map of Northumberland Parishes, which gives good info on places, and miles apart.
Also for great info and old photos on Northumberland towns/villages, including Alnwick, Amble, Ford and Amble, go to
>communities.northumberland.gov.uk<
Look into the trade directories and you might get lucky and see your ancestor.
Wooler to Alnwick... about 20 miles
