North Shields is in Northumberland,

Before I am shot down in flames, I had better say that North Shields was in Northumberland until 1974.
It now forms part of North Tyneside, which is one of the unitary authorities within Tyne and Wear. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyne_and_Wear

Humbug.
             Can't help with your recent request on Thomas Cunningham , but the name Cunningham and the town of North Shields,  immediately brought to mind "Freda Cunningham , which was the name of the ferry that ran for years between North Shields & South Shields.. was just wondering if this might be any connection to yours' I'm not sure who Freda was but a google search will probably unearth something.   Just a thought!   Dolly

Hi,
Don't suppose your Thomas Cunningham is related to a Thomasina Cunningham born around 1901.
Trying to find details about my paternal grandparents. but unfortunately not getting far. Thomasina married a John J Henderson in 1924 and had one son Robert.
Thanks

Jen,

North Shields is only in Tyne & Wear as an Administerial Area, The local government act which came into force on April 1st 1974 did not change the geographical location.

This is my local:
