Easington Lane

do you have a street address as houghton covers quite a large area, he could also be in Hetton cemetery or Houghton or Easington Lane, or Newbottle or even Herrington

Hi
I have 3 Addresses but I don't know (if any) was the one that he lived at when he died.

3rd Address, this from his WW1 war records. 245 High Street Easington Lane.

Lilywhite Terrace and High street all still exist today and are in Easington Lane, so hopefully he was still there when he died. I will look at the buried records for Easington Lane 1st. I go to the records office on the 3rd March so I will be in contact then. If i find a match in the records I will go to the cemetery and hopefully get a photo if there is a headstone, I live in Hetton so its not far

Thanks for your time.  I am sure you have your own stuff to do so please don't spend an age on this.
Thanks again.
I assume you are doing your own history in that area or is it that you live nearby? 

I was last in "the Lane " about 45 to 50 years ago.  If only I had asked these questions then.  But as a 10 year old Boy it all meant nothing to me.  Perhaps at that time Robinsons Buildings would still be there, ( he lived there in 1911). Certainly I know Gargles Farm was as it was only demolished a few years ago.  This is where my GMother was a servant.

I am doing my own tree and need to go there sometime anyway to look for a grave for myself. I live 2 minutes away. Yes Gargles Farm was demolished and has a small housing estate built there

I wish you Good Luck in your Quest.

Using the updated search on Sunderland's BMD it appears Patrick died 30/5/1932 so this will cut the time frame down looking for his burial.
