Ship owners - Sunderland & South Shields

Bedford Street still exists CherieLynn. 

And I'm sure there will be some old images of North Shields on the web, including possibly Bedford Street

Hello Cherie Lynn,

Yes, that is a start lass. Then you could try doing what your cousins did - looking at every mention of that street in all the NE newspapers for years and years and years after his death until something jumps out at you and yells BINGO!! (which it will). It is not difficult, just time-consuming.

Cheers,
Westoe

Westoe: I took the little google man from the cemetery down Albion to Bedford and went all the way down to the curve and looked back up at the clock tower.  I turned and went back down the hill and then turned toward the water and got to Bell Street and paused. Thank you

[Westoe]

And what did you see, lass, I wonder.

Do not think us difficult but that little snippet took them too much slogging to find. If ever they get their book published, you will see it there.

Cheers,
Westoe

Still looking, gone around through Tynemouth and now back along the Grand Parade. The hotel is quite impressive, but I rather think a cuppa on a water front place.

Westoe: How wonderful! Thank you!

The former Merchant Marine, descendant of the multiple ship owners  and associated industries, Enoch Donkerley, Enoch Donkerley Thompson, James Lee, Henry (Havelock  ) Lee tired to visit Toronto, my former home. But Instead we met Dai's cousins on the south side of Lake Ontario north of Ransom and west of Wilson, NY. I kept looking across and wondering if I had cousins there myself

[Westoe]

No, lass, the only cousins that you have left in Toronto, to our knowledge, are the many who are buried there.

Cheers,
Westoe
