Durham / Re: Old Sunderland Photographs -new info

Hi,
I have a photo from A. D. Lewis, 5 Hinde ST, Newcastle also.
I think it was taken between 1855 and 1865.  I have my gg grandmother's
photo book.  I have found most of the pictures to be from that era.
Hope this helps.
Frederic
Dear Frederic
  , my great grandfather  John Edward Devitt lived in 75 Hinde St with his parents according to the 1871 census . The name was misspelt as Deveitt .He came to Australia in about 1876/77 and I was wondering if you had some history of Hinde St in that time. I understand that Hinde St was incorporated into Scotswood road before the 1881 census .  John Edward Devitt  would have been 13 in 1871 , he had an older sister Margaret who I cannot trace after 1871 and his parents were Edward Patrick and Ann. Edward Patrick was a bricklayer, and I have no other record of him, his widow Ann came to Australia and died in 1882. Any history of that time would be welcome, Judith,  Australia

Hi Sylvie , I found this message searching for Devitt history, My great grandfather John Edward Devitt had a sister Margaret mentioned on the 1871 English census she as born in1856 and he was born in 1859 , the parents were Edward Patrick and Ann , I wonder if there is a possible connection , I can find no trace of Margaret after the 1871 census they lived in Elswick Newcastle on Tyne, John migrated to Australia around 1879. Love to hear from you Judith
