Hello
I'm searching for relatives in South Shields.
My Gran (Winifred Peel, b. 1914 d. 1984) & Grandad (Robert Fowler, b. 1912 d. 1989) lived on Ashley Road.
As far as I know, they both lived in South Shields their whole lives.
I think my Grandad worked at the shipyards. His Dad was called George & so was his brother, who married Laura.
My Mum (Marilyn, b. 1951) was their only child.
She went to Stanhope Road Primary (& Secondary school I think) & was best friends with Linda Falconer.
It's my Mum's 60th later this year & we want to put together a photo book for her with pictures from childhood, school years etc.
As it's a surprise & my grandparents are no longer around, we are looking for anyone who was friends with or is related to our Mum so that we can collate pictures/memories/family information for her.
Also interested in the family tree on my Mum's side of the family as I was 9 & 15 when my Gran & Grandad died, respectively, so sadly I didn't ever really get a chance to talk about family history with them.
Also any old pics of Stanhope Road schools would be good.
Thanks.
Tara
