Hi, Not going to be a lot of help with your request for info.
Just curious if this is "George William Walker" born 6th May 1886 in Wolviston, died 10th August 1958 at 11 Shap Grove, West Hartlepool?????
Regards, Dave

Hi Aitnax,

There's something about the Seaton Prop Yard Fire 1945 on this very interesting Hartlepool site, you may find something useful on there
