Neil,
No worries, it sounds as though you are suffering the same grot weather that we have.
Many thanks for taking an interest.
Cheers

The strange thing is on both his son John's birth certificate in 1880 he is shown as a Holder-Up and on his daughter Ann's marriage he is a Rivetter.
Cheers

To the best of my knowledge both the occupations refer to the shipbuilding industry.

Hi Dave

Thats interesting information. As for being a miner aged 10 that is more than likely. When they came to Hodgsons Buildings the Monkwearmouth Colliery  was quite literally on the doorstep. I can only assume that ill health forced a career change hence the move to the shipyards, he would have been spoiled for choice on the Wear.

Hi Neil
I must have been past the place 100s of times. Its looking a bit sorry for itself. I wonder what it looked like in its full glory.

Yes Neil it would, its pretty desolate around there. But mind you when the pit was in full swing it must have like hell.
