The Church Bazaar was held in the Odd Fellows Hall, we have some names supplied, but can anybody assist?  The Codling brothers in an obvious family portrait which was known to include Isaac (who was killed in the ironstone mines), we knew that we did not have them in the correct order, Anne Bland has assisted with: ”Richard, Isaac and Thomas standing and Matthew seated I believe. My handsome great uncles.” Christine Whittaker adds:” I believe that these young men were the sons of Thomas Codling 1861-1931 and Margaret Cowl 1865-1921. If that is the case, they were my 5th cousins 2x removed. My paternal grandmother’s family have deep roots at Hutton Rudby (near Stokesley)and it was there that Catherine Billingham Codling 1710-1883 [daughter of Thos. Codling and Melissa ‘Missy’ Billingham] married William ‘Huneman’ {Honeyman] in 1738 and I descend from them. Catherine’s younger brother John Codling 1716-1810 married Isabel Dial/ Duell 1716-1791 [also in Rudby.] John Codling was my 6x great uncle. He and Isabel moved to Roxby to farm and the boys in the photograph are their descendants. The earliest Codlings in my tree appear to have come from Monkwearmouth/Sunderland in the early 1600s. With marriage, Melissa became Honeyman and her family remained in the Hutton Rudby/Yarm area, but the east coast Codlings, having sons, carried on the name. I spent the first 18 years of my life near Middlesbrough where I was born and I loved the coast and walked the moors; staying at Youth Hostels like Westerdale. Student life took me away from the area but I return from time to time. I was aware that I probably had relatives named Codling but knew nothing about them until retirement enabled me to spend time on genealogy. There is a Bland Tree on Ancestry and I wonder if this has a connection to Anne Bland who posted the names of her uncles.” Mavis Gray assisted with: ” These are my husbands uncles standing from left to right are Matthew, Richard & Thomas Codling and sat is Isaac Codling my husbands mother was Hannah Codling one of their sisters.” Katie Ivy assists with: “William honeyman was my seventh great grandfather and married Catherine Codling”.

We can identify some people on this image of the Liverton village fete, including Major Petch in the background, as well as Lynn Jackson (with daughter Lisa) in front of the stall. Jill Gale has advised us: ”Audrey Souter on left (nee Whitwell) Major Petch with hat on in background.” Can anybody assist with a date and additional names? Image courtesy of Janet Wilson and thanks to Jill Gale for the update.  The location was Liverton Village hall; date we would love to know! We have most of the names and they are given below. But are we correct we would love to know and can you supply the missing names? Janet Wilson advises: “The little boy sitting with Mary Stevenson is Leslie Dowson. His father was my dad’s cousin and lived at Handale Banks farm until the early 1960s. I remembered visiting them when his sister Lynne was born.” Image and names courtesy of Janet Codling.  Pictured at the rear of 2 Glenfield Terrace, Loftus; the Codling family. Back row: John (son of Ike), Ike, Alan and Alec. Seated are Georgina and Tom Codling; parents and grand parents of those on the standing row. Sheila Cotterill asked: “I am trying to make contact with a dear friend, I used to come to Loftus every year to stay with Sylvia and Alan England who lived in Loftus for many years, me and my family would visit a couple of times each year. I know Sylvia died some time ago, I have tried to telephone Alan on a number of occasions and no reply and the number is now not recognised. I don’t know if anyone looking at this can help? I live in Buxton, Derbyshire. My mother and father knew them well when Sylvia worked in the Arlington in fact we stayed there a couple of times. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.” Carrie Emerson responded: “My name is Carrie and I am Sylvia and Alan England granddaughter,Alan died September 2015,that is why you cannot get in touch sorry to be the bearer of bad news.”
 A walk through the woods for these two gents, they are Ike Page and Malcolm Mays. Ike Page might stir memories in some of the older viewers as he and Albert Alan were a well known Duo who played for dances. Image and names courtesy of Pat Bennison.  Kath and her husband Reef were well known in Loftus; living in Station road for many years. Image and identification, courtesy of Pat Bennison.  Looks as though these ladies have been to church or maybe chapel, do you know the name of the lady in White? We know the other two are Mrs Mays and Mrs Robinson. Yes this is the Newton Memorial Chapel portico in the background. Image courtesy of Pat Bennison.  The two at the back are Mrs Gibbon and Mrs Mays, but we don’t know the names of the others in the photograph, do you? Image courtesy of Pat Bennison.
