Hi Amy,

I thought there was a miraculous co-incident that there was two researchers
looking for LAKEs in South Shields, until I realized it was your mother who
had sent the posting to the Northumbria mailing list.

I am afraid since this list has just started there is only one or two
people researching in England and I suggest you, including your mother,
should continue with the Northumbria list too. I am hoping more researchers
in England will join the list.

Perhaps I can be of a little help since I grew up on the outskirts of South
Shields but that was more years ago than I care to remember. However, the
genealogical research I have done has been mainly in England so I may be
able to help there, if needed.

I do not know whether you and/or your mother are members of Northumberland
and Durham FHS. If you are not, it may well be a useful resource unless
your ancestors came from outside the area.

Do you know where Richard Mallet Lake was born or anymore about his
parents. The middle name of Mallet does not ring any bells but I will check
my records of other Lake lines.

Welcome to the Lake list,

Frank
