I found the talk at the NDFHS in Newcastle today very informative and I was delighted to hear of this website. It is interesting to see all the mills listed. My husband’s family were farmers/millers in the 1800s and he was brought up at Rock Mill, Alnwick which had become a farm though in the 1950s-60s some of the old mill buildings were still visible and the mill pond was still there. Below is some of our family information from the census which give details of the mills they worked.
1891 census
Residence Name Status Age Trade Birthplace (Parish)
Bolton Mill JAMES DIXON Head 47 Farmer/Miller Eglingham
Elizabeth Wife 45 “
Mary daughter 10 scholar Edlingham
John son 8 “ “
George “ 6 “ “
JAMES (Granda) “ 6 “ “
1881 census
Bolton Mill JAMES DIXON Head 37 Miller & Farmer Eglingham
Elizabeth Wife 35 of 50 ac with 26 ? “
Mary daughter 10mths Edlingham
1871 census JAMES Cousin 27 Miller Wooperton
(listed under family of his cousin, Matthew Dixon at Morwick Mill)
Shell Family (paternal grandmother’s family)
In the 1911 census MARGARET THOMAS (Thompson)SHELL (age 30) is listed as ‘Farm daughter doing work’ at Abberwick Mill for JAMES SHELL (60) Miller/Farmer employer and his wife Sarah Ann (57) along with their son, John (32), Farmer working on farm, and their daughter, Rachel Annie (20), Farmer’s daughter & worker. Also listed is Samuel Scott, a Carter at ‘bosses Mill’ born Whittingham.
In the 1901 census for Abberwick James Shell (50) born Edlingham in 1851 is listed as a Farmer/Miller along with his wife, Sarah Ann (46) born Marton, Yorkshire in 1855 and their family: son John (22) born 1879, listed as farmer’s son & farmworker, MARGARET (20) born 1881, Mary Isabella (15) born 1886, and Rachel Annie [Daisy] (10) born 1891. There is also a servant, Mansfield Arries (17) born in 1884 at Doddington, listed as ordinary agricultural labourer. Abberwick parish consists of Abberwick village, Abberwick Mill, Moor Laws, Broom Hill, Broom Hill Cottage and Glen Aln.
Other Shells listed in the parish include:
Stephen Shell (39) Head Farmer/Empoyer born Edlingham
Jane (52) Sister “
Isabella (36) Sister “
Margaret (34) Sister “
There is no mention of the corn mill at Gilsland,Northumberland along side the Poltross Burn
Is this additional to Thirlwall Mill in Gilsland? This was listed under the wrong burn but correct grid reference. The burn name has now been corrected. Thanks for raising it as this is how things get corrected.
