You may use this facility but in case you don't; I know you research the history of our county and probably search for historical books at various shops throughout our region.  Whilst searching via Google for 'River Wansbeck – Wakenshaw Hall – Drowning' a link to Google Books (something I have never looked at, I don't read ) came up with a link to a book by John Sykes (of Newcastle –upon-Tyne) – 1833 – a Historical register of remarkable events.

I have not read the 410 pages (closed my eyes for 10 mins and slayed 3 dragons, rescued and made love to 12 maidens………….)

Looks like a very good Index, at the end of the book……….just nodded off and scored the winning goal at the FA Cup final, in injury time!
