Thank you everyone.... re. Braidhurst Rows.
With all your information I was able to almost pinpoint Braidhurst Rows on the current map.
My dear old grandmothers shabby childhood tenement home has been replace by attractive housing.
My grandmothers name was Margaret Inglis..
Parents were Alexander and Agnes.
Alexander was a lampman in one of the colleries.
He was born about 1865.
Alexander and my gran came to Australia about 1910, Maggie was 14.
He worked coal mines in Cessnock NSW and they prepared housing for the rest of the family to arrive Oz 6 months later.
Thanks again for all your help...Best regards...Bob White
