Message from Steve Milner dated 13th July 2004
Hi,
Fantastic site which I just found via Google. George Milner, living at above address, is my great great grandfather. I am trying to piece together the family tree. They moved from Sherburn, between 1871 and 1881. Mary is George's second wife and not the mother of the older children. There was another child Albert who was killed in the Lingdale mine in 1890, age 20, listed on the Durham mining Museum site and buried at Skelton. Their daughter Nellie married a miner and in the 1901 census is living in Guisboro, so far can't trace what happened to the others. Thanks for a great site.
Steve.

Was there a coach or bus company based in or close to Lingdale around 1947?

I had great delight in browsing this site. My Grandmother Lilian Snowdon (nee Wood, married to Bill Snowdon whom I never knew, he died 1957 Northallerton. My father (Dec) Leslie Snowdon a policeman born 1928 East Harlsey.
Well Granny always said the family of Snowdon's and Woods had pubs and land, and were in the area of Boosbeck and Lingdale. I am anxious to find out more from your site and its readers, I remember I had a great Aunt and Uncle, Alice and Ernie Snowdon they lived in the High Street, Stokesley for many years. Hope to hear from anyone soon.
Thank You. Stephen.

message from Maureen Bohl dated October 2nd 2004
I visited Lingdale as a child around 1948, when my mother's cousin lived there. Her cousin was married to the Church Army Captain Arthur Cann, they worked in Lingdale from about 1943. They had 2 daughters, Joan and Marjorie and the household also consisted of Tom and Liza Denison, Mrs Canns parents.
I remember milk being delivered from a pony and trap, ladled from a milk churn into your own jug with a long handled measure. I also remember have milk straight from the cow at a farm.

Lingdale/Boosbeck/Moorsholm
 | 000218
message from Margaret O'Shea (nee Robinson) Oxford
Well done in producing such an interesting site. My family came from Boosbeck and Moorsholm so I will keep watching in case I find a reference in the future. My Grandfather, George Robinson (d. 1935) was a mines deputy although I have yet to find a photograph of him. The family lived at 9 Queen Street, Boosbeck until the death of my grandmother Sarah in October 1944. I have been told that my grandmother Sarah went to Salvation Army meetings in Lingdale - although I don't know if there were any family living there.
Prior to the 1900's the family lived in Moorsholm.
Keep up the Good work

Nicholsons in Lingdale
 | 000385
message from Nadine Nicholson dated 21 October 2004
Love the site!
My father Thomas Nicholson emigrated to Canada in 1926. My sister & I came to England in 1999 to see the area he was from. His parents (William and Sarah) lived at 13 Pease Street, Lingdale from 1983 until at least 1904, when his father remarried May Dowson. When we asked about no 13, when we were there, we were told it was torn down. We were devastated, we went into your Pub and had a glass of beer. (I wish I had spoken to locals in the pub). We got directions to Boosbeck where the vicar helped us find the information on the marriage in 1904. Do you know when number 13 Pease Street was torn down? Would there be pictures of it? Do you know how long Nicholson's had lived in Lingdale? You mention a William Nicholson being a watchmaker in 1900. We have lost touch with all relatives there.
Thanks again for the site. Any info you might have would be most helpful.
Nadine.

Buses
 | 000308
I have just revisited your excellent site and had a more in depth look. I was amazed to see a photo of a Charltonian bus with my father, the driver standing next to it. The bus company was founded by my grandfather, John Dobson of Charltons about 1916 with a Charabanc taking people on bus trips to Whitby etc. It developed into a regular service in 1920 and continued until 1930 until it was run off the road by United. I have a number of photos of the buses including one standing in Kilton Lane near the entrance to the cycle track. Soon to be published is a booklet about the Charltonian buses. I would be very pleased to hear from anyone who has in their possession any photos or other information about the Charltonian bus service.
Also, has anyone done any family history on the Suckling family. My uncle Albert married Rhoda Suckling of Lingdale/Stanghow. I have heard that they came from North Norfolk which is of particular interest as Lord Nelson's mother was a Suckling from Norfolk.
John Dobson.

Jimmy Wooton
When I was a boy growing up in Magra, there was a cobblers shop owned by an old man called Jimmy Wooton. He lived in Lingdale and was an old man when my Dad was a boy. He was a godsend to us kids after the war. We would collect wood for him for his stove and in return he would let us fry sliced potatoes on his stove. If you were really in his favour he would let you have some "Sticky" which was rice pudding cooked in an old enamel dish. It was great to scrape the dried and burnt bits off the side of the dish. He would catch the ten past seven bus back to Lingdale every day, and it was with great regret when he chucked us out to go and catch his bus. His old corrugated iron shop was rotting from the bottom up, so to keep the wind out he would pile his ashes up against the outside. This in turn made it rot quicker. Does anyone know when Jimmy died (he must be dead now or he will be about 125 !!) and what happened to the shop?

WARTIME HISTORY

message from Stuart McMillan dated 20th May 2005
I am at the moment employed on two books which we are doing on wartime in East Cleveland, the first book is on the defences of East Cleveland and North Yorkshire, 1900 to present day and I would like to ask if anyone remembers the Large gun or guns in what is now Greens DIY Yard WW2,
anyone remember the camp at Seaton House or the Visit of Oswald Mosley to that house late 1930's, the AA gun at Lockwood or the Search Light at Lockwood Beck, or anything else that maybe of interest, like the dispatch rider killed at the cross roads at the Tavern during the war.
The second Book I am working on is of the first world war Soldiers of what was then known as the Wharton Parish, that's Skelton, North Skelton, New Skelton, Skelton Green, Boosbeck, Charltons Margrove Park, Lingdale, Stanghow & Moorsholm. I have a list of around a 1,000 names the street and Number of the house they lived in, the services they were in and some of there story in the First world War, I am looking for a photo of the men, as many as possible.
Many Thanks
Stuart
