Doran, Thompson or Featherstonehaugh - Annfield Plain
Trying to trace my grandparents. James Doran (died about 1934/35 in Jarrow) and Kathleen or Katherine Featherstonehaugh, died in Hebburn. I live 3,000 miles from my dad and forget when I do talk to him for more details. He knows only bits and pieces, he has cousins in Annfield Plain or Lanchester named Thompson. My dad is Gerry Doran, had one sister Dorothy and two brothers, Ron and John. John is still alive but he is in ill health and I can't ask him questions. My grandmother had two sisters that are related to Thompson's in or around Annfield Plain. The two sisters were Dolly and Sally. I think I may have the wrong spelling or even name of my grandmother, however, someone out there may know who I am talking about.
