Tried to keep up with this thread..but not doing too well.

Have we asked about Ellen SPRY's dob and if she would or would not be with Wilf* in 1939?

Canadian/American= geez-someone would have noticed an accent wouldn't they?

Father being a "shipbuilder" and son a loco* driver aka miner seems wrong to me.
You know those instincts .

EDIT: Really sorry-didn't see the last few posts. DOH!!!

hi maureeniny , ellen { nellie } spry was born j/a/s 1901 easington her death was 1963 south hetton , wilfred death 1975 sunderland  they married mar 1923 easington , there daughter birth 1925 easington and on the marriage of ellen and wilf he was a miner but just after he married ellen he bacame a locomotion driver , and his father was acording to the marriage , was named as frederick ship builder , , but i agree there is somthing amiss some where because they cannot be found any where , and she had contact from a cousin through DNA saying they shared 3 smith family in america / canada , but as she cant get beyond wilfred she cant confirm this

just done another search in 1939 register for durham area and still cant find them i not only searched for ellen but also nellie

[..claire..]

From the newspaper report given,  I wonder who is living at '3 Kimberley Road' West Hartlepool in 1939?

I couldn't see them on a search of 1939 either.

It's the Wilfred Smith from the newspaper report, he was born 1911.

I think the newspaper may have got the Road bit wrong.  There is only a Kimberley STREET in West Hartlepool.

There is a Smith family living there one of whom is called Wilfred but he was born in 1911 and is single.  Occupation locomotive shunter steel worker.

[oldhippyone]
