Hi, I had a query about my Grand father (Henry Donkin) and in Durham records office it states that he was the son of Robert & Mary Ann Donkin, of Haswell, he married twice and moved to Craghead working in the mine. Had a large family my dad (Dixon) being one of them. Robert also had a brother George, and grandad Henry seems to have had a brother Allen.
Hope this can help.
