Bournmoor: 18th Century

In the 18th century, Bournmoor as we know it was a very rural location, centred primarily on the settlement of Wapping; details and maps of Wapping can be found elsewhere on this website. The only non-agricultural industries worthy of note in the area at that time were coal mining as well as a corn mill (at Floater's Mill) and ironworks (at Breckon Hill Forge). This does not mean that few people lived in this area.

The parish records (baptisms and burials) for All Saints' Church Penshaw and St Michael and All Angels' Church Houghton-le-Spring have been transcribed for the Bournmoor area. The following is a list of surnames which appear from these early times. If you would like further information or a (free!) name / place look-up, please send an email to the Webmaster - email address is at the foot of the Home Page of this site.

Note: in some cases there is more than one spelling of the surname so do not be discouraged if the exact name you are searching for is not on the list!
