Dear Peggy,

We have in our possession a family bible originally owned by Isabella Balleny, born 1877 in Tynemouth, died 17th April 1927, possibly in South Africa. Is this of any interest?

Best wishes,

Stephen

Hello, I am trying to find descendants of John Thomas Tertius Carr, born 1853 ,Gateshead Durham, son of John Thomas Carr and Agnes Cargill Carr. He was a mariner and married Caroline Wheeler from Newfoundland, in Newfoundland, in 1875. They had 3 children: Isabella Maud, born 1877 in Newfoundland Elspeth (Elizabeth), born 1881 Newcastle upon Tyne, NBL John Thomas, born circa 1886 Whitley Bay, NBL He died in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1922. I would be very interested in anyone having a connection to this family. Other names connected to this Carr family are: Richardson, Balleny, Cummin, Green, Darling, all originating in Northumberland or Durham. Thanks, Peggy Hansen
