Hi Nick, my grandfather was Roland, Gwendolines brother.
I have got Maxwell's death on 01 Nov 1937 at 4 Woodman Road, Coulsdon & Purley, Surrey.
I remember my mum, Irene Hill talking about two sisters that were in London as she had an opportunity to become an apprentice in their business, she must have been about 19 or so. Haberdashery seems to ring a bell.
I have concentrated quite alot of my ancestry time on the Hills as Iam a civil engineer this is where the engineering side seems to have originated. Daughter is a physicist aswell so it must be in the genes.
I have Ninian , Maxwells father born in Goven, Scotland, moving to follow the ship building.

ive been investigating her son and daughter in law, she died in Elswick over the water!

newcastle cc tell me that if i find a grave no they can tell me if their is a memorial stone. have aske southtyneside if they can do the same.

if not i might start a new post and see if any one on the site lives near jarrow cemetary and can take a picture, if one exists.

it is so enjoyable finding out all this info when we have a site like this and all the registrar offices i have contacted, whether in newcastle, sheffield or in my home county are all so helpful and give advice so freely.

Hi angelfish58,
i will try your suggestion - they have been very helpful before when i have asked for some advice.

hi nannyjan,
it is quite along time between her son dying in 1937 in south london and his mothers death in north london in 1918 ( if it is her). They could have moved around, i dont think i have many of my other ancestors at the same addresses in subsequent cencus' in Jarrow.
will try and rule out or confirm the south shield one.

thanks again

Looking for some help to check a death.
I have Helen Hill living at 148 Albert Road, Jarrow in 1911 aged 82 .
I have checked Freebmd and can only find a Helen living in Essex with the right age
( died 1918 aged 88 )

If any one has Ancestry Sub, i would be grateful if you could check for her in Jarrow / SS
as i have been told the FreeBMD in not complete.

This could be her, as JenB found her son in Surrey, but didnt expect her to move at this age. her husband died in 1915 in Jarrow.
