Thank you River Tyne Lass this is absolutely superb research  I really appreciate burial information of all the family members. Ill try and go through each one at a time.

I had seen a newspaper clipping in 1939 of Mary Jane Mulley’s obituary but hadn’t had the chance to look, that is definitely her as residence matches.

The two infants Florrie and George I think may be the children of George Theodorakis and Mary J Mulley, as since they never married the children switched between the names. How sad they died in the workhouse  . There was a birth registration for ‘Florie Theodorakis’ in June Qtr 1908 at Tynemouth which approx matches the death for that Florence.

I wonder if George & Mary J had briefly split (hence workhouse & surname Mulley) as their next child was not born until four years later.

Richard was listed as Wylie on microfilm, I remember seeing that. Managed to locate a baptism of a Mary Jane Willan in 1830, Tynemouth, daughter of Richard a turner and Mary of Stephenson Street.

Hi Mulberry Rose,
I have updated the memorials of Mary Jane Mulley/Theodorakis  and her son Andrew with notices and also a newspaper photo for the latter.

By the way, do you think this Richard may be Mary Jane's maternal Grandfather?  I have added him on Find a Grave at Preston Cemetery, North Shields.

This appears to be his wife - burial at Preston Cemetery, too and it looks like their plots were very close together. They were Widower and Widow when they married.
