Hi all, new member here, First post: I’m just wondering if anyone had heard of a ‘grand house’ nr Hexham (Corbridge side?) called ‘The Dinges’ (menaing blackened face – coal) …was it a Straker residence before the Leazes? Grateful for any knowledge shared.

‘The Dinges’ appears as Isabella’s birthplace on the 1911 census as transcribed on Ancestry – is this where you got the reference from?

Having looked at the original it believe this in fact to be a very badly written ‘The Leazes’ which is her birthplace as on the 1891 and 1901 censuses.
