I am looking for information about Winterton Mill that was at Sedgefield. My 4G Grandfather was William Eells b 1794 Sedgefield and I believe was the owner of this mill. I found several newspaper articles which list William Eells as the owner of Sedgefield Mill and surrounding acres which was up for auction in 1831. I am also interested in any information about the Eells family that have lived in this area. The Fairbridge are connected to the Eells family by marriage so I would also be interested in this line as it is a direct line to me as well as the Eells line.
I now live in Australia so it is harder for me to gain any local information.
Cheers Chris

My Great Great Grandfather was Isaac Wainwright and he was a miner. He died of enteric fever on 30 10 1880 at 47 Metal Bridge Ferryhill. I would like to know where he is buried please. He was married to Hannah Davis and they had a daughter Mary born on 18 06 1879. His mother in law Ellen Davis was with him when he died and her husband Charles was also a miner. I would be very grateful for any help you could give me or any advice on where to look.

Thank you

I have strong links to Coxhoe from my maternal side. My maternal Grandparents are both buried in St Marys graveyard in unmarked graves. Does anyone know if there is a register of unmarked graves and where it is held?
Apreciate any help or ideas.

Hi. I'm trying to track down info about my grandfather~ John (Jack) Conway~ who was born at 60 Long Row~ Coxhoe~ in 1859. Family were miners. Jack's father was Maurice Conway and his mother Elizabeth Molloy (or Meloy). They later moved to Nostell~ Yorkshire~ then to Framwellgate Moor. Anything about the Conway family would be welcome! Thanks.
