I'm delighted to say that we've managed to trace Enid Steavenson's daughter, thanks to Echo Memories readers.
Lots of people got in touch following the plea in the column a couple of weeks ago. Enid's youngest daughter, Honor, now lives in the Lake District.
You may remember that in 1904, the newly married Enid moved to Middleton St George with her husband, Dr Charles Steavenson. Not only was he the village GP, but he also set up in the grounds of their house-cum-surgery this district's only Alpine sanatorium: it had wooden chalets, mountain goats and Alpine trees, to combat TB.
The reason we were after Enid's daughter was that Enid's diary from the summer of 1901 has just been auctioned. It tells of her holiday with the famous Staithes artists.
Also on that holiday was her mother, Lucy Ann Pease.
Darlington historian Jean Kirkland has kindly sent in a package about Lucy Ann and how she fits into the great Pease panolpy.
In the beginning, there was one Pease: Edward (1711-1785). He came over to this nick of the woods from West Yorkshire and in 1735 married at Staindrop at Teesdale Quaker: Elizabeth Coates. She was due to inherit land at Caselee and Langleyford in County Durham - I have never found either on a map.
They had nine children. The eldest was Joseph (1737-1808) who started the railway line (ahem, bad geneaology joke): his son was Edward "Father of the Railways" and Joseph, whose statue still stands on Darlington's High Row.
The original Edward and Elizabeth's fourth child was Thomas. His grandson was another Thomas (1818-84) who married in 1843 Lucy Fryer of Smelt House, Howden-le-Wear.
Echo Memories touched upon Smelt House earlier this year. It was originally built in 1511 but in 1843, as the railways opened up the district, it was rebuilt as a fashionable Gothic mansion. For 300 years into the 1950s, it was the property of the Coates family - I presume the same Coates family into which great-grandfather Edward Pease had married in Staindrop in 1735.
Lucy Ann - the mother of Enid the diarist - was born in 1844, the same year that her mother, Lucy Fryer, died. This often suggests that the mother died in childbirth.
Lucy Ann remained in close contact with her mother's family. Historian Jean Kirkland has a letter addressed to Lucy Ann at Smelt House in 1875. It is from one of her brothers who says: "You must be enjoying this lovely spring weather among scenery so noted for its beauty."
Lucy Ann married Robert Robinson, a civil engineer, and they lived in the Beechwood mansion which is where Sainsbury's is today in Darlington. One of their children was Enid, and now we've found Enid's daughter, thank you all very much.
