Comments: I've long been told by my father, and grandfather that a long time back our family held the title 'the earl of thorne' I would love to be able to verify/validate this. I have quite a detailed (if rather faded) family tree the was previously researched, and goes back to around the 1500's. I wonder if anyone would be interested to look into this and perhaps view my family tree?

Comments: I am trying to contact Valerie Allass. I don't even know if she is still alive. I would be very grateful for any information anyone can give me. My name may probably mean something to her.

Comments: My father's family were pit sinkers and lived in the pit sinkers' huts at Moorends around 1910. In fact my great grandma and grandma lived next to each other. Does anyone know of any photos of the huts or exactly were they used to be? Any information about these workers and their living conditions would be very helpful indeed.
