Post a comment and I will get in touch (include contact details in your message!!) This kind of comment will not get published as it contains your details (unless you tell me otherwise).
On the next messages (Sennett & Fitzpatrick) I have listed some of my family who lived in the village. If anyone out there knows anything more about them, I would love to hear from you!
Resources for information about Tudhoe Village and it's former residents include:-
- The GENUKI page for Co. Durham = genealogical & historical links.
- Local BMD index data free online (County Durham - click on 'search the indexes' at base of that page)
- BMD data free online from Free BMD (up to around 1911).
- Then order a BMD certificate from this online site.
- 1901 National Census returns (This site gives access to index searches free, pay per view for more information. FreeCen aims to give free access to all census records, but it's not quite there yet! Ancestry.co.uk members have access to all census 1841-1901, as well as lots more besides!)
- Family Search is also a useful free online resource, for BMD, census data and parish records.
- Durham Records Online.
- Google satellite map of Tudhoe Village & Tudhoe Mill.
- Link to a page for a set of old maps, here showing map of Tudhoe, published in 1861.
- A GenMaps page with old maps of Durham (some very old!!) - those of relevance to the period mentioned here include (at bottom of listing) Durham (Southern Section) - 1885 and County Durham (1857, OS maps) - you can view freely while you choose what to buy; use the gazeteer to narrow down your search.
- Keys to the Past, a website from the local councils which enables you to see information about specific towns in Co. Durham, and to see old maps (go to the Local Histories list).
- Jeremy Hutson has written a lengthy piece on the history of Tudhoe Village: view the document online here. It includes a link to a very informative piece of research done on prominent Tudhoe families (up to ~1770).
Also a section giving details found on Tudhoe Mill: sadly no images. - More info here on Tudhoe Mill.
- Wikipedia entry for Tudhoe.
- A comprehensive history of Spennymoor.
- WW II - Wartime memories from folk living in the Wearside area.
- More Nostalgia here, about children's games. Got yer dabber?

- Info here on Tudhoe St. David's Church (C of E).
- Mining Information here: Image & map of site of Tudhoe Grange Colliery, and of the Tudhoe Colliery disaster. More on the news of the 1882 colliery disaster here. Tudhoe Lodge Miners' banner, hangs in Spennymoor Town Hall. More on Tudhoe Mines (including the opencast works) from the Durham Mines site, or from Durham Miners Museum.
- Tudhoe & Spennymoor Local History Society - a most excellent bunch.
(Do let me know if any links fail)
Thanks, Lisa
