Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: census request for 1891 berwick

Hi I see you mentioned 1 narrow lane Berwick. My great grandfather was born there 1916. I understand it was classed as the slums of Berwick. It's all been pulled down now. We went up Easter day to where it used to be (round about). His name John young.
We also have Clarkes on that line too.

John's mum was a Davidson and believed a lot if them lived in tweedmouth

Hi all. This is my first post on this site. I am hoping I can get answers
My great grandad and his 3-4 siblings in this home I believe sometime after 1918 which is when his last sibling was born.
Their mam was put in a mental institution after receiving horrendous beatings from her husband. The kids never seen their mother again and their father placed them all in care.

I am not sure if the oldest child was put in this home with the rest of them but I know when he was old enough he got all of his siblings out if this home and raised them with his wife.

Their family name was young

I would love to find out ant records of them also any photos so I can pass this on to my grandad

I have read all of your responses and hope yous have found answers yous are seeking
