hi there
there are some documents at the tyne and wear archives i had a letter confirming that some personal details are held but here comes the downer.
1 you have to be a living relative for me ok
2 prove the person is deceaed
3 then you have to pay an hourly search fee of around 25 poounds an hour as it is all protected under the data protection act as persons may still be alive who went there



this now makes sense as they did not closee until 1959 !
hope this is some help
cheers
