Relatives of mine lived in Ferryhill and I would love to get in touch with any of their descendants.My great grandmother was Grace Crossman, wife of John. Her daughter, Lilian, married a Charlie Foster and they lived in Dean Bank. As far as I know they had four children...John, Ernie, Charlie and Grace. I understand at least two of the boys may now be dead but they probably had children, are any relatives still in Ferryhill or can anyone give me any information on the family please? Many thanks.

Sorry to hear about the passing of John Smith.
I moved to the USA from Ferryhill 5+ years ago and have always enjoyed reading The Chapter. I am sure John's hard work will not have been in vein and look forward to reading furture editions of The Chapter.

Wonderful to be able to be kept up to date with events 'up home', such as the new Memorial Garden, without having to spend an hour on the telephone once a week.
Keep up the good work.

My mother Dorothy Grayson was born in Ferryhill and I'm trying to find if she has any living relatives still living in Ferryhill. I never had the opportunity to meet any of her relative except her brother Harry Grayson. My mother passed away on October 12th, 2002 bless her soul. If anyone has any information about anyone who is related to my mother or knows of any of my mothers relatives please let me know by emailing me. My mohter married Albert Tammeorg who came from Estonia during WWII. I'll continue to check my emails with hopes someone will read this.

Regards,

Marian Tammeorg

Nice to have found your newspaper. I was brought up in Ferryill in the 50s and 60s. My father was a newsagent in Darlinton Road.Although I have not lived in Ferryhill since 1970, your newspaper, the pictures and the occasional name bring back many happy memories

My grandfather was born at Little Chilton Colliery where my Great grandfather worked as a miner. I visited there many years ago, and I still think of the days I spent there.

I hope to get back some day.
