I went through the Harton Cemetery Burial Records at Tyne and Wear Archives, it definitely stated that Violet Elizabeth Mary Pattison was with her parents John Arthur Pattison and Annie Pattison in Section R 7693, Annie was buried 7 July 1920, her body was brought over from Ireland so I don't know h...

Is there anyone who would be willing to visit the above cemetery and search for and take a picture of a couple of graves for me? John (d 1917), Annie (d 1920) and Violet Pattison (d 1901) - all buried together in Section R, plot no 7693 Michael O'Hanlon - buried in Section M, plot no was hard to rea...

Does anyone have any memories of a chain of Grocer Shops known as Hanlons based in the South Shields/Jarrow area? it was taken over by another company in the 60s. Trying to work out if my great grans brother Michael started this business or not. So if anyone can remember this business or the family ...

I have received a newspaper article about a relatives suicide, the headline states that he was a Football Director. It does'nt mention this anywhere in the article though.

Thanks ever so much, it looks like it has a major facelift at the front as it looks nothing like a turn of the century house would have looked like. Its sad really that they had to alter the building so much.

I'm in Solihull, only time I get upto North is to visit my grandma in Middlesbrough, every so often and we never get time to get over to South Shields.

This is a great site, I have another connection in that one of my great grans Aunts -Annie Daly married a John Pattison and lived at 3 Barnes Road in the early 1900s. But as far as I know thats no longer standing.

I'm not sure if this is in the right place or not. In 1931 my great grans brother Michael O'Hanlon was living with his wife Annie and children at 9 Beach Road, which I believe is now a solicitors 'Hannay & Hannay'. It was in that year that he committed suicide at home and died in hospital. I dou...
