Fascinating stuff. Irish people don't get taught enough about our communities in Jarrow, Newcastle, Liverpool, Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, London, the good stuff that went on. Workers of the world unite.
Irish people know all to well the history of Irish people in England and the great community's they created it's the English who are totally ignorant of the mighty lasting contribution the Irish made to all aspects of British life from art,politics,science literature there would have been no oasis, Morrissey, sex pistols, Beatles to name but a few, one of the wonderful kindness, clever people in the world have had to suffer nothing but the indignation and contempt of English people as knaves and fools the Irish have risen to the top of society in every field in every country we emigrated to our present economic situation and progress is envied and being copied by many good.luck to the wonderful people of jarrow
@@brendanmalone463 Around early 1900s Jarrow population increased massively with the influx of Irish and some Scottish to work the shipyards and steelworks - running the industrial revolution. Research shows my ancestors came from County Antrim, Derry and Galway.
Great film. Me Da was born in Witton Gardens, Primrose and me Nana was from just outside of Dublin. Me Uncle Billy walked to London in the great march. My maternal side are from Byker. So proud of my Geordie/Celtic roots.
Very interesting indeed. I am from Shields but bordering on Jarrow. I knew a lot of people from Jarrow with Irish surnames, but I didn't realise the extent of the Irish connection. Thanks for this.
My grandmother, Bridget Joyce,came from right outside of Clifden in Connemara. She emigrated to Boston in the mid 1920’s and married my grandfather Tom Casey,who had also just emigrated from Co Waterford. Almost everyone in my neighborhood in Medford,a suburb of Boston Massachusetts,had parents or grandparents who had come from Ireland. Irish accents were as common as Boston accents where I grew up.
Tom Kelly...my mother's , fathers ,mother born in Manchester. Her parents came over with 2 children,she was born after their arrival. Their name Kelly. Was in 1846...didn't know there was a census in 1881....must have a look thank you for this ...must have been like a living hell after coming from Ireland, .... Jill in Australia
I felt so sad when you visited the cemetery and there were no Headstones. I didn't know anything about the Irish heritage connected with Jarrow or the march to London. Thank-you its very humbling to hear what the people went through. My family are from Cavan only my mother came to England in the 50's the rest went to America.
Great video, loved the bit at 14.50 mins the narrator was that engrossed in his dialogue he drove through the no entry signs. History needs videos like this.

My G G Grandparents Patrick McMahon and Teresa McGrorty were married in St Bede's in 1876. Patrick was from Carrickmacross, Monaghan, Teresa was from Donegal. I was really pleased to see St Bede's, thinking of them getting married there , standing at the alter helps bring my family history alive. Thanks
Jarra lad born and bread, great seeing you drive around my town brings back great memories when a was younger seeing the construction of the new Tyne tunnel i must of been about 14\15 when you made this video jarra has come along way since 2008. Great video great town and great people thanks for the time you put into this mate. Also I had a giggle when your turning left down the town hall heading the wrong way😂 it’s a one way system don’t see that too often haha
Very engaging video: nice mixture: disappearing landscape, displacement, informative driving about, salt-of-the-earth interviews and local/national history. Time flew by watching it. Really felt for the people but what an achievement to have built a church. For info: the perfect ending, IMHO, would have been two or three musicians playing us out with a couple of jigs or reels at the club. Very atmospheric piece of work. Although the buildings may not be as they were or where they were, you have captured the soul of the people without whom there would have been no story. Many thanks.
Lovely film. My grandfather spent from 1920-29 in Jarrow and often told us tales of his time there. He moved back to Ireland after that but it remained close to his heart all his 89 years...he called them "hard but fun times"
I really enjoyed this video thank you. My ancestors lived in Jarrow and worked at Palmers. So far they are English and possibly Scottish but I'm hoping to find some Irish ancestors too.
A most interesting video indeed. Had no idea of the connection between Tyneside and Irish Immigration. One always thinks of Liverpool and London or Manchester and Birmingham as the prime destinations. Although the Female detective in Shields refers to her Irish father. I met a business pal in Australia from Sea houses some 19 years ago and visited him some 19 years ago. I’m surprised that he never mentioned the Jarrow connection to Ireland, although he used to visit Southern Ireland all the time as he was involved in Horse Racing. Always been very fond of Geordies and got on very well with them. Very different to their distant cousins to the far south east. I gather that the hard times of the 1930s have vanished from the area. I’m also sure many have immigrated around the world and made a better life for themselves.
thanks for the reply. Around early 1900s Jarrow population increased massively with the influx of Irish and some Scottish. Research shows my ancestors from County Antrim, Derry and Galway.
This was so interesting! My grandmother was Jane McMullen born in 1888 in Gateshead. She lived in Jarrow and worked at Haggies before getting married in 1909 at St Bedes
Realy interesting,my grandad came from mulingar,my da was in the highland light infantry as a piper throughout the war,we lived in Manchester,I’ve lived in Devon for thirty years,all the best guys.
My ancestor Owen Donnelly went to Dunbar during or after the famine and married my 6th or 7th great grandmother who was from Northumberland. They moved to Jarrow eventually and my great grandad James Donnelly (born 1916) was from Primrose. He had my grandad with my great grandma in Rotherham but eventually left her and remarried and settled back in Jarrow.
@@fleece9289 quite possibly, their family was big. Do you know who James father was and where he was born? My great grandfather was James D Donnelly born in Jarrow 1916, his father James W Donnelly was born 1881 in Jarrow while his father James Donnelly was born 1856 in Dunbar and his father was Owen Donnelly. Now they all had brothers. If you find out or know, tell me and I can check on the family tree my dad managed to create and link with others :)
@@davidmallon8300 hi David, different branch methinks. My grandfather James’ father was Patrick (b.1859 in Paisley) and Patrick’s father was Terence (b.1831 Lisburn, Antrim). Patrick had a brother Owen (b.1861 Glasgow).
@@fleece9289 probably a distant branch from way before the census were started. My step grandad from Dublin was George Mallon he was birn in 1937 I believe and died 2019 aged 82 or so.
My father's family migrated from Co. Tyrone, Ireland to the Glasgow suburb of Airdrie before he was born in 1908. He was trained as a riveter in the Glasgow shipyards. In 1927 most of the large family migrated again to the USA where they worked in shipyards or in building or bridge construction. They were part of the war effort in World War II. My father worked on the construction of the Verrazano Bridge across New York Bay and also worked on the construction of high vacuum test chambers for NASA lunar vehicles. Our history is the history of our work accomplishments.
Very good. The lady said, I'll paraphrase, "I'm Catholic, and I'm proud to have a religion." Not _the_ religion. I'm not a good Catholic, but I think it's the only valid-true religion. I love what you presented here.
No such thing as the potato famine ,the potato crop failed but no other crops failed ,the poor Irish lived off potato s so they died while the beef sheep and horses and grain was exported by British landlords to Britain ,it was a genocide ,An Gorta Mor ..The Great Hunger
Yeah, and who enforced the organised starvation of the Gaelic lrish? The Brit forces and their lrish lackies, the Royal lrish Constabularly. Many of them and their families were dealt with by the old lRA. Eireann Abù
@@frankharrington8528 you right on that Hiltler only learned from history Starvation and concentration camps And some 1 explain to me how it only 1 million died 1 million emigrated but in a census of 1841 8.5 million irish 1851 3.5 the brits were brilliant at maths but l wasn't too bad myself but l cud never workout where the 3 million went
We’ve been to Ireland twice…fell in love with it….then years later I did my DNA test and it was more than 60% Irish DNA. Our people came to America very early on even before we were a country…we know very little of the history except the O’ Neal name…I’m sorry the wonderful Irish people have had these terrible hardships..
You should do some research. Start with birth/death/marriage certs of your grandparents and keep working back. I found the records of my paternal great grandparents coming through Ellis Island from Ireland. Fascinating to see actual details of their heights, eye and hair colours and how much money they had upon arrival. Also found them on the 1910 census records.
@@agf1700 I think both sides of the family came over in the 1700s...before Revolutionary war....so I don’t think Ellis Island was there....or at least it wasn’t called that. I’d love to know more. It’s mostly Scandinavian dna after the Irish dna...then a little English...like 5%. The odd thing is that both my parents last names sound French...we thought we must be of French descent but obviously not. We love Ireland. People there are so friendly.
The Tyneside-Irish Pals (& the Tyneside-Scottish too!) were linked to the Durham Light Infantry Regiment in WW1, in fact Tyneside-Irish battalions were very active & noteworthy units in both of the World Wars!! I stand to be corrected here but I also think some Tyneside-Irish Battalions were also linked to the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers Regiment as well?!!
My mums side came from jarrow my great grandfather walked down in the march, chalmers was his surname I think he was on the union they came from jedbough on the boarders originally
By the way, interesting about the accents varying from the locals. We have a small village 3 miles from here full of Donegal and Mayo descendants and the accent and dialect is very different. Similar in Coatbridge. Town instead of toon, etc, etc.
thank you so much for this fantastic video, very interesting. I live in N Tyneside, born in North Shields. My g grandparents on maternal side were born in Ireland. Kilpatricks and McNellis. The McNellis family from Donegal and moved to Glasgow and worked in the shipyards in the 1860s. The Kilpatricks... not sure but moved to Newcastle up Tyne area and married Jane Ann Mutter in Byker in 1867... No one alive today can tell me where he came from in Ireland... he became a coal hewer in the mines here around.
I'm living in Donegal for about 25 years now, not originally from here, but from County Kildare, I can tell you, if it's any help, that the pronunciation of the name McNellis, as written, is more like "mac-NEE-liss," it's a name I'm very familiar with, here in South West Donegal.
@@jimmymalone9139 I can only speak for my neighbours of the last 25 years, and their generations past, and that established identity, but no doubt you're right..
Great documentary, but who on earth does the subtitles!!! They couldn't have done a worse job if they'd tried, I feel sorry for anyone whose deaf, it was shockingly inaccurate of much of what the people were saying
Great little documentary. It is said that up to 25% of the population of the UK can claim Irish ancestry. I know I can. This documentary puts flesh on that statistic.
Another reason why the Conservatives and the rich always hated people from the north of England. So many Irish had emigrated to there bringing their egalitarian notions.
Yes I stood at my 5 ancestors pit in C mayo there’s a cross to mark their pit with another 500 souls . The tears I wept would fill the Irish ☘️ sea . They walked miles with those other wretched souls & got turned away at Delphi lodge & told he’s having his F******G lunch the weather changed profoundly that March evening & they got blown away crossing the river . One survived she was 9 hence me she got took to the W house . My wee mammy was Irish ☘️ I’m Scottish NEVER BRITISH. Today those big bellied bigots are in Glasgow for the children March next weeks the big 1 as in the 12th . You have no idea 🤷♀️ me & mine feel their hatred of us . I loved it when an Irish ☘️ American 🇺🇸 said we were raised to understand blacks bc they were taught they weren’t always white . If you’re Irish ☘️ don’t forget the rogue state . I h8 hearing an Irish person saying they don’t want the 6 counties their as bad as those Scottish traitors the settlers. When Scotland 🏴 lost in 2014 I cried so much bc I thought I had lost my wee Irish ☘️ mammies RIP country Ireland 🇮🇪. Scotland 🏴 well that’s me Daddy RIP so it was a double blow . Now I will life to see what my mum grandparents etc never did ONE EIRE . I feel it it’s coming . Sir to the lord Carson cut Ulster they RC will breed us out in 50 yrs . Even after the GERRYMANDERING them RC did breed them out not my words & counting . Under the richest empire my ancestors starved & were second class citizens. I can’t forgive the elite English B******DS . As Trevelyn said it’s a curse on the Irish ☘️ the C**T even tried to blame God . By the way it wasn’t them highlanders that stole Ireland 🇮🇪 they wouldn’t Kiss English a** them dirty lowlanders like Ayrshire Lanarshire. Here’s a good one I moved here to what’s called mini Ireland 🇮🇪 but I didn’t know that . I only had so much money & it was here or a place about 5 miles away I tossed the coin & here won the other place the other was the orange 🍊 bigoted place . Their all children grandchildren g grandchildren of the Irish ☘️. My mum had already died but talk about a lassie with luck 🍀 me landing here . PM Blair we cater to late no they acted at speed to export at gunpoint my other people’s food . Go home Caroline the famines over they shout / tell me . “What famine “ is always my reply . If you’re Irish ☘️ I’m sorry for those Scottish traitors their days are numbered please don’t send them back bc they might steal my wee bit of land . My mum never lived to see me do it or see the EMERALD ring bigger than the EMERALD ISLE I got her so in her memory I wear it . She had nothing me I ONLY TOOK BACK WHAT WAS LEGALLY & MORALLY MINE . Got debt & paid F all back bc in Scotland 🏴 they can’t touch us different laws . I only buy Irish ☘️ produce 2 help Ireland’s economy. Some English idiots’ knocked my door last wk looking 4 £10k I chased them of MY LAND I used this is Scotland 🏴 not England. Let’s be fair I WOULD NEVER TAKE ANY COMPENSATION FOR MY ANCESTORS bc it would be an insult to their suffering but by F**K I have no GUILT in not paying the English creditors . I usually go to Eire & spend in the wee shops . Sorry it was long lol .
@@airtdonaghy1221 one Micheal Nicholson a uk TV news reporter very famous . Anyway be was sick of the Irish ☘️ blaming the English for the Genocide & wanted to prove them wrong . He did to his Research & found it was a Genocide & wrote a book on it . They settlers know their days are numbered, number 10 is selling them out the DUP got DUPED ,
Hi there. My mother was gibbons before she was married. Her dad is from ballylooby in Tipperary. We still live in Tipperary. But I'm not sure if the name is rooted in this area.

Thanks for watching. Check the film 'Shiels' on Alikivi channel showing the connections between North and South Shields.
I'm living in Donegal for about 25 years now, not originally from here, but from County Kildare, I can tell you, if it's any help, that the pronunciation of the name McNellis, as written, is more like "mac-NEE-liss," it's a name I'm very familiar with, here in South West Donegal.

Great documentary, but who on earth does the subtitles!!! They couldn't have done a worse job if they'd tried, I feel sorry for anyone whose deaf, it was shockingly inaccurate of much of what the people were saying
love it,my aunt Mary is on it.
thanks for watching Kathleen, there are more Tyneside doc's on the Alikivi channel.
Great little documentary. It is said that up to 25% of the population of the UK can claim Irish ancestry. I know I can. This documentary puts flesh on that statistic.

Is this our Robson Green. X💖
Turned left the wrong way down a one way street @23:00 - oops!
He did it twice in the video.. Lol
Another reason why the Conservatives and the rich always hated people from the north of England. So many Irish had emigrated to there bringing their egalitarian notions.
YeA
That strumming in the background is far too loud, I had to turn off.
Genocide not Famine!
Let's call a spade a spade
I hate reading that part of our history

+ you're wearing a lilly? Go back to sleep!
Yes I stood at my 5 ancestors pit in C mayo there’s a cross to mark their pit with another 500 souls . The tears I wept would fill the Irish ☘️ sea . They walked miles with those other wretched souls & got turned away at Delphi lodge & told he’s having his F******G lunch the weather changed profoundly that March evening & they got blown away crossing the river . One survived she was 9 hence me she got took to the W house . My wee mammy was Irish ☘️ I’m Scottish NEVER BRITISH. Today those big bellied bigots are in Glasgow for the children March next weeks the big 1 as in the 12th . You have no idea 🤷♀️ me & mine feel their hatred of us . I loved it when an Irish ☘️ American 🇺🇸 said we were raised to understand blacks bc they were taught they weren’t always white . If you’re Irish ☘️ don’t forget the rogue state . I h8 hearing an Irish person saying they don’t want the 6 counties their as bad as those Scottish traitors the settlers. When Scotland 🏴 lost in 2014 I cried so much bc I thought I had lost my wee Irish ☘️ mammies RIP country Ireland 🇮🇪. Scotland 🏴 well that’s me Daddy RIP so it was a double blow . Now I will life to see what my mum grandparents etc never did ONE EIRE . I feel it it’s coming . Sir to the lord Carson cut Ulster they RC will breed us out in 50 yrs . Even after the GERRYMANDERING them RC did breed them out not my words & counting . Under the richest empire my ancestors starved & were second class citizens. I can’t forgive the elite English B******DS . As Trevelyn said it’s a curse on the Irish ☘️ the C**T even tried to blame God . By the way it wasn’t them highlanders that stole Ireland 🇮🇪 they wouldn’t Kiss English a** them dirty lowlanders like Ayrshire Lanarshire. Here’s a good one I moved here to what’s called mini Ireland 🇮🇪 but I didn’t know that . I only had so much money & it was here or a place about 5 miles away I tossed the coin & here won the other place the other was the orange 🍊 bigoted place . Their all children grandchildren g grandchildren of the Irish ☘️. My mum had already died but talk about a lassie with luck 🍀 me landing here . PM Blair we cater to late no they acted at speed to export at gunpoint my other people’s food . Go home Caroline the famines over they shout / tell me . “What famine “ is always my reply . If you’re Irish ☘️ I’m sorry for those Scottish traitors their days are numbered please don’t send them back bc they might steal my wee bit of land . My mum never lived to see me do it or see the EMERALD ring bigger than the EMERALD ISLE I got her so in her memory I wear it . She had nothing me I ONLY TOOK BACK WHAT WAS LEGALLY & MORALLY MINE . Got debt & paid F all back bc in Scotland 🏴 they can’t touch us different laws . I only buy Irish ☘️ produce 2 help Ireland’s economy. Some English idiots’ knocked my door last wk looking 4 £10k I chased them of MY LAND I used this is Scotland 🏴 not England. Let’s be fair I WOULD NEVER TAKE ANY COMPENSATION FOR MY ANCESTORS bc it would be an insult to their suffering but by F**K I have no GUILT in not paying the English creditors . I usually go to Eire & spend in the wee shops . Sorry it was long lol .
Yes. Let's not let facts get in the way of our nationalist mythology.
@@petertyson1112 well educated man aren't you 🙌 your obviously English
Ya know nothing foo
@@airtdonaghy1221 one Micheal Nicholson a uk TV news reporter very famous . Anyway be was sick of the Irish ☘️ blaming the English for the Genocide & wanted to prove them wrong . He did to his Research & found it was a Genocide & wrote a book on it . They settlers know their days are numbered, number 10 is selling them out the DUP got DUPED ,
Information required about the Surnames White, Gibbons, Blair, from Jarrow, or surrounding area. Catholic faith. Irish connections,
Hi there. My mother was gibbons before she was married. Her dad is from ballylooby in Tipperary. We still live in Tipperary. But I'm not sure if the name is rooted in this area.
White and Blair are Scottish names normally .
Would have enjoyed this and watched till the end, but the background music was way way too loud. Couldnt hear the narration
funny way to say thanks
Marvellous me fatha belonged beaufont terrace primrose
Remember captain boycott.
ONLY TRUE FAITH Catholic.
Ssssh
After all we've learned about Paedophile priests and mass graves in both Ireland and Scotland how the hell can anyone think that? Just think about the thousands of lives they ruined. One true paedophile ring more like it!😠
LOL
What a load of rubbish.
