Snowdon Family of Ormesby
. . . . by Philip Bridge   sent 20th January 2021

Dear Group
   I have been researching my Family History and through this discovered your website.
   It has been informative and fascinating with lots of potentially relevant data although I have yet to make a positive link between the Snowdons of my family and those listed on your site.
   I do however have evidence from a census that the Snowdon of my family was a farmer born in Ormesby before moving to Newcastle about 1820-30.   It appears that his father was a brewer.
   I appreciate your work on this site and therefore would like to show it by paying for a subscription to your group. Please advise me.  [WebMaster: thanks for your appreciation - but there really is no need to make a subscription - especially as we are unable to welcome you to our meetings at the moment !]
   I also have an interest in industrial archaeology and railways of which your site is rich, however I have to be careful that this does not distract me from the family history!
   When circumstances permit I hope to visit the area.
With all best wishes,

Pleased that you have found our website so interesting.  Hope that you enjoy visiting our area sometime.
   Can you please send us some more details of your Ormesby Snowdons - that may help clarify your query before I send it on to our members!

   After various distractions by the 'stuff' of life I have completed and attach the synopsis of the history of my relation Robert Paul Snowdon b.1740 Ormesby.

WebMaster (29 Mar 2021):
   Thanks for sending the extra informtion.
   I can now add a request to our Appeal page to see if anyone has evidence of a link of the Ormesby Snowdon family to the Eston family which can be traced back to Elizabethan times.
   And I will also email our members to ask as well !
