Northumberland / Information Sought: "Joe Brittan"
« on: Yesterday at 06:50 »
Hi all, not sure how well you will be able to help me as I have minimal information and some concerns living people which I have been asked to withhold for public forums.
I am looking for a man, the name was given to me verbally - exact spelling is unknown, by the name of "Joe Britton". May be Britain, Brittan, Briton, et cetera. He was a male nurse at a psychiatric hospital: this may have been St. Nicholas Hospital in Gosforth, or Shotley Bridge Hospital in Durham.
He first crosses paths with the family, on whose behalf I am writing this message for, in 1944. He is married and they may have had a child born in 1944. He resided in Gosforth and died at some point between 1976 and 1995. His obituary was in a newspaper, but the family cannot remember specifics.
This is, unfortunately, all of the information we have been able to collect. We have written to the hospitals but received no response and will try again - will also try DNA but would like to exhaust other avenues first.
Best wishes,
AJH
