New Grange, Durham
« on: Friday 18 April 14 19:37 BST (UK) »
So I have an Elizabeth Laws born at New Grange in 1854.  Carole W and AlpineCottage have already helped me to identify the location from census data.  Only trouble is, I can't find it.  I've googled it, searched genuki, searched old maps and the durham mining museum.  In the end I've plotted the locations her brothers were born in and the only village in the kelloe/Cassop/Castle Eden area with Grange in it's name is Trimdon Grange:

1850 Kelloe
1851 Kelloe
1854 New Grange?
1856 Cassop
1860 Benton, NBL
1863 Durham
1867 Castle Eden

Has anyone come across a New Grange before?

2 miles ESE from Kelloe is The Grange.
3 miles NW is Cassop Grange.
3 miles ENE is Wingate Grange Farm.
4 miles NW is Low Grange.
4 miles WNW is South Grange and High Grange.
4 miles NW is Whitwell Grange.
5 miles N is Elemore Grange.

Plenty to choose from! ;D

There is no New Grange in the Durham County Record Office publication "Durham Places in the Mid-Nineteenth Century", so it won't appear on a map.

Thanks for looking Stan.  I'd pretty much come to the conclusion before my post that it probably really meant one of the other Grange's in the area.
