I am now adding some more names to my expanding list of family names from Durham:
PARKIN; HODGSON; PARNABY; HARDY.
The first two names are both of interest as "direct", since they are maternal lines in my immediate ancestry in Durham, and also because they keep cropping up with increasing regularity as "lateral" spouses in the latter part of the 19th century. Parnaby is also a direct line, connections with Staindrop area, and when going back another generation found an ancestress by the name of Ann Hardy, christened 1860 in Hamsterley.
Some other last names that have multiple connections with my Blackett family:
Dowson, Lowson, Raine, Stephenson, Race.
