Post by: bramhallbill on Tuesday 14 October 25 12:47 BST (UK)
Hi Guys
Thomas Robson had an Industrial Accident in Gateshead on 24 Dec 1934 when staging collapsed & he fell 25 ft. I think there may be new stories in the press now. Sadly he died later in Hospital of his injuries a few days later. Any clippings or obits would be much appreciated. Thanks
 He had married Ethel May Harper 25 Dec 1930 & they had a dtr Mary Margaret 19 Nov 31

I thought Thomas had the accident & died a few days later in hospital. Seems that it was next day. Thomas married on 25 Dec 1930 for the second time sad he died Christmas Day 4 yrs later.
