BLYTH RESOURCE GENEALOGY GROUP

In 1999 a group of genealogy enthusiasts who had attended various courses at BRIC got together to research local history. Since then we have provided information to local schools and libraries, and given advice on family history research.
We meet every Monday between 1.30pm-3.30pm
Projects we have carried out to date include:
1841 Census of Blyth, 1871 Census of Blyth
A complete record of PLESSEY ROAD SCHOOL, BLYTH, (admission registers, log books etc;)
Book entitled “THE HOUSE THAT MOVED”,

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE STORY OF BEBSIDE HALL
a curious intriguing title for a research account of the history of “BEBSIDE HALL”
