Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

I have never researched my family and therefore never used St Cuthberts archives so wouldn't be able to advise you on who to contact initially to ensure you can get access to the records during the time you would be in the area. I would assume you already have a contact within the church. There is the 'Woodhorn Museum & Northumberland Archives' site, approximately 7 miles from Bedlington, that I know when researching their ancestors, and the history of the area, many people use. It would be worth your while contacting them before you travel :- http://www.experiencewoodhorn.com/ National Library of Scotland - https://maps.nls.uk - oldest map of the area

Double or Quits - I'll say England to win the World cup - that should balance the books

Are you sober yet? There is a slight possibility England might beat Croatia and then a more likely result will be getting hammered in the final - Belgium or France. England's journey in the world cup :- England ranked 12th by FIFA - Tunisia ranked 21st. - Panamar ranked 55th - Belgium, 1st team ranked 3rd - there 2nd team beat our mixed 1st & 2nd team. Columbia ranked 16th - penalties Sweden ranked 24th. Next opponents - Croatia ranked 20th (who went to penalties to beat Russia ranked 70th). If we get through the semi final then Belgium, ranked 3rd, or France ranked 7th. I know there are always games that go the underdogs way but I think England, if they stick with the same starting 11 as they did last match, will now be defending more than anything else. Unless they substitute Jordan Henderson (defensive midfield), Dele Alli (attacking [supposedly] midfield) & Raheem Stirling (attacking midfield) with a defensive midfielder that pick out a forward with a pass, and two attacking midfielders that an actually get passed the opposition, with the ball!

Now slipped back to 4th
