The
Ogle family owned castles at
Ogle, Kirkley Hall, Bothal, Seven Shields, Harbottle and Towers of Burradon, North Middleton, Cockle Part, Hirst, Choppington, Hepple, Newstead, Downhem, Ford, and Eglingham Hall.
Robert the Bruce's son, King David II of Scotland, was captured by the English in 1346 and locked up in the pele tower of Ogle Castle, near Ponteland, before being sent to the Tower of London.
"About a third of our guests who come to the B&B are ancestors of the Ogle family.
"Our ambition was to completely design and produce a camera housing electronically without building a single prototype," Ogles said.
By quickly modeling the entire camera in the CAD package, engineers were better able to visualize the design; they came up with a geartower mechanism, Ogles said.
All connected to the family name
Ogle, they are coming to uncover the family tree of John
Ogle, who as a young man set off for America in 1664 as part of a military expedition force which captured New Amsterdam - later renamed New York - from the Dutch.
Ogles said that he would go after Barnes' house, which is worth about $100,000, but that he didn't expect to collect the rest of the judgment.
It is a second invasion of the North East by the Ogles who first landed in force in 2005 when more than 70 of them staged the biggest get-together of its kind ever held in the region.
WHEN young John Ogle set off for America in 1664 he was part of a military expedition force which captured New Amsterdam - later renamed New York - from the Dutch.
Kirkley Hall, near Ponteland, Northumberland, was the venue for the
Ogles who made the transatlantic journey from 30 states to delve into their family history.
They are all descendants of the
Ogle family, which was prominent in Northumberland and British history and owned Kirkley Hall near Ponteland for more than three centuries.
An invasion of
Ogles brought about one of the biggest get-togethers ever staged in the North East.
The
Ogles from whom the visitors descend left for America on the British expedition which captured New Amsterdam, now New York, and Delaware from the Dutch in 1664.
The nine-bedroom Grade I-Listed building, just outside
Ogle village, includes a magnificent drawing room and a dining room, both with inglenook fireplaces and beamed ceilings.
More than 70 direct descendants of 17th Century US colonist John
Ogle descended on Kirkley Hall, once the ancestral seat of their family forefathers, after travelling half-way round the world.
