Gibbons family in Greenside - Greenside
I am looking for my relatives who lived in Greenside. My grandad was James Gibbons, married to Norah, with two sons, Douglas and James Philip (known as Philip).

John Edward Fitzgerald Shortt - Hallgarth
John Edward Fitzgerald Shortt was born on 30 June 1863 and baptised on 11 October 1863 in Templeharry Church, near Cloughjordan, County Tipperary, Ireland. His parents were John Shortt (1830-1905) and Harriett Anne Burriss (1843-1866) and they immigrated to New Zealand in 1865, apparently leaving their son to be brought up by his grandparents, Richard & Mary Burriss of Graffan, near Garrane, County Tipperary. Graduate records from Trinity College, Dublin, indicate that he obtained a BE degree in 1885 and an MA degree in 1888. The 1891 England Census shows that John E. F. Shortt, age 29, born in Ireland, was a Grammar School Headmaster living in Hallgarth, Pickering, Yorkshire. Also recorded, his wife, Anna A. Shortt, age 26, born in Ireland and William M. Burriss, a boarder age 24, born in Ireland, an Assistant School Master. The 1901 England Census shows John E. F. Shortt, age 37, a School Master and his wife, Anna A. Shortt, age 36, both born in Ireland, living in Hallgarth, Pickering, Yorkshire. Do any of the above names have a connection with your Shortt or Burriss family trees? Best wishes from New Zealand, Logan Shortt.

Lawson, Hamsterley, County Durham, C18th - Hamsterley
I am researching a branch of the Lawson family that appeared in Alnwick in the 1750s (see earlier postings) but which may have originated in or passed through the Hamsterley area. The birth of a John Lawson is recorded in Hamsterley in 1753, son of Mark and Dorothy. I have never seen the actual record, only the IGI entry. Our John Lawson was the right age to have been born in 1753 and was also the son of Mark and Dorothy, according to his marriage record - which also stated that Mark was a shopkeeper in Alnwick. Does anyone have access to the Parish Records or other archives of Hamsterley or the surrounding area, to check whether there were any births of Mark, or marriages of Mark to Dorothy (in around 1740-53), or of evidence of any more children?
