South Shields Sanddancers Forum

Okay enjoy your sleep, I look like an older version of the dark haired one, I think the blonde one looks like dad a little. Is that how you remember him? Will catch up with you soon take care, if I hear anything I will let you know xxx

Okay I emailed you too, thought I'd send a pic of his grand-daughters you can see the connection xx

Anyway to make it bigger to you guys.... I will ring the registry office on Monday and explain the situation, might be worth trying Sunderland aswell xxx

Hope thats right xxxxxxxx

Think he was born in Washington area, though I was told he was born further south, been updated a little cant remember the estate in Washington though. Just trying to tackle photobucket ... I think his birth was later than 1921... can't swear though as I've been told so many lies in the past xx

Okay I have the picture scanned and saved to my pictures, how do I get it on here for you?

Yea thats the one in this photo, must be the primrose one here I will get a copy to you..... I will try get the dates from the Shields Gazette archives, but its a mammoth task. Maybe the companions club will help with dates. I was going to get in touch with his Dr, but he is dead aswell so its no go...

He was cremated in South Shields, but even that was a fiasco......... Mother dressed in bright yellow and wore a pink carnation, thought it was funny I Know she was/is wicked and I don't doubt she treat him terribly, all my childhood I got hit for "pulling a jack face". She's still an nast...

Yea I got the date of wedding, proberbly the daftest thing he done in his short life. Its his date of death, everytime I go on registry sites it asks for the date, TBH I din't even know the year think it was 1972/3 going on my age. I know his family name on his mums side is Seed, got that off uncle ...

Yea my Step sister and brother....... Shes still well and living in Bishop Aukland, it was her that slipped up about my dads brothers.. Step brother moved to Canterbury, but sadly died in front of a train during a fight a few years ago... The only other name I remember is Ted..... Uncle Ted, he had ...

Hi baldy again ......... No nothing about inheritence, just don't understand what happened.. I know there was a divorce pending when dad died, mother obviously took the house etc.. I know his gambling caused problems maybe thats what happened, whatever it was Peggy dont want to tell. Its wierd cos u...

Hiya Anna, Its given me 2nd wind now to try and dig the truth out........... Gonna ring the companions club on Monday as I think dad was a founder member of some group there. Also need to find out what happened to his chain of shops.... I think I need to get to the bottom of things now xxxxxxxx

Hi Sless, Your right its special..... If a bit spooky. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this forum, its a " it always happens to someone else thing" But baldy helped me last night more then anyone will ever know........ And I thank him for that, it made my dad somehow real xxx

Haha i had a hygain 5 stupid roger bleep used to set all burlar alarms off in Fredrick street. Had loads of handles, was all good fun

I hope mine is 24 hours a day........ If i speak to mother i will mention you, but it wont be anytime soon. Think dad was in the fellowship or something at a club down mile end Road area, one of them came to see me when I was 21, and gave me a bank book

Now now what would dad think, bless x

She's still the same believe me......... I guess I got that from him then, I can't say no for the life of me. its been great hearing from you, and i do hope we chat again. I'm sure he was a fine gent, everyone I speak to tells me, Im proud to say he was my dad. Not so sure i'm proud of his top selle...

Thanx Anna........... Great to be here

I dont speak to her much now, she told me many lies bout dad. I didnt even know he had brothers till 2003 then I found his brother Uncle Billy, he's loverly. I know dad lived in the Marsden inn (gambling) and was a regular at redcar races LOL, but thats it. He was a wonderful dad, from what I can re...

Yea thats right, she is awful. Didn't really know dad too well, just vague memories x
