I think Emley is the sister of John William Todd 1879 who is the father of my uncle Eddy who lived and worked in South Shields as a butcher.

Hi, i was wondering if anyone could tell me more about where orange street was situated please, my nana alice duffie was born 37 orange street, her sisters mary and isabella, and her mother Emily and father james duffie and his father john duffie, all lived at this address.

Orange St ran parallel to Laygate Lane roughly where the Laygate flats are now. It ended at Dixon St a little bit of which still exists opposite Trinity House. My great grandfather lived there at one time.
