Gilbert, hero or villain?

The History of Northumberland Volume 4 Haxamshire Part 2
John Crawford Hodgson 1897
There were trials for homicide and robbery at Ninebanks at the assizes of 1280 and 1293. At the latter, William Brown of Bellingham, Roger Fot, Peter of Roxburgh and William his brother, William the hunter of Bellingham, John the flesshewere were found guilty. Gilbert of Kenley and David, son of Bernard had made off and were outlawed.

NB. a flesshewere was a butcher.

Was Gilbert a Keenlyside?

Apparently, according to the National Archives £97 would be worth £8,080 in today's money. I think the apothecary would have considered himself quite well off.

The amazing incident of the flying ale

On 09 August 1750 at All Saints Church Newcastle upon Tyne Anne Keenlyside married William Smith. Not particularly remarkable apart from an article reported in the Hexham Courant in 1780. The article was taken from the diary of John Dawson of Brunton (St John Lee) and reads as follows
1761 Sep 25th Friday
Yesterday I am told was fought a grand battle between the Lady of Wester-hall and the Lady of the Castle. The young lady threw a tankard of ale on the old lady's face. After much altercation the old lady thought proper to retreat.
The old lady was Mrs. Smith of Haughton Wester Hall: the young lady who got through her manners was, apparently Anne, wife of William Smith of Haughton Castle and daughter of Keenlyside. She was married in or before 1750 and died 5th Jan 1780.
She was obviously a spirited young woman and I wonder what the row was about, but it's good to know that she was Lady of the Castle. I believe William Smith owned a paper mill which was built nearby, but I don't know if there were any children from this marriage. Also, the article doesn't give us much information about her father unless it was assumed that it would be apparent to readers at the time.

Inspired by a film

After watching Julie/Julia it was obvious that this was the way to go with family history - it needs to be read to make it relevant for today and worth all my hard work researching it. Comments would be most welcome and I would love it if others could add any stories of their own. I know there are a lot of other Keenlysides out there busy with research of their own but its good to have friends. So, welcome aboard and lets get going. If there's anyone who thinks they could be connected to Thomas Keneleside of Sunderland (apothecary) 1671 then this is for you.
