Hi,
Just found this link and suspect I could keep you rather busy as I have a lot of relatives in the area.
My first is Thomas and Catherine Miller address at Blue Quarries, GAteshead in the 1851 census. They both died in 1854 at Gateshead Fell, leaving a family of five to fend for themselves. The eldest Bartholemew was just 14. the youngest three years old.Thomas was a Mason.
DO you recognise the names and is the area still standing.
thanks
Lesley

Hi Paula
Sorry for not getting back to you but I have only just read your post dated Sunday 11th January - don't know what happened, why I missed it.
What can I tell you regarding names and dates then?
My GGG Grandparents Bridget and Patrick Mellon(Mellan) are living with their family at Bottle Houses, Bill Quay in 1881. Then in 1891 and 1901 at Prospect Terrace.
I do not know Gateshead Fell, or Newcastle to be honest as I live in Birmingham, but from looking at photographs on Gateshead Council web site I believe where they lived was a "very poor" area.
My Grandfather was born in Brewery Lane in 1899.
I would guess that the area where my ancestors lived no longer exists.
Most of the marriages of my ancestors took place at St Patricks Chapel.
Patrick passed away in 1904 - I do not know where he is buried - would St Patricks be a possibility?
Regards
Fay

To Preshaus. Thanks for the offer of the gravestone photos - how do you send them? And whilst most of the Hall's in St John's won't be mine (ie there is a 'new' one Henry HALL near the south wall - not mine), all of the WALES headstones are my relatives.
Matthew WALES lived on Egremont Gardens, just off Sodhouse bank. And the Joseph Foster WALES stone right be the East entrance to the church, is not the original. The original was a high one and broke across the middle, so some of the data would be eliminated.
Regards, Rob Hall, Katy, TEXAS

Hello,
My Gt Grandad was a clerk for the NER and moved to Low Fell from Darlington about 1884. He seemed to move about a lot with his job but always came back to Low Fell so I'm thinking he probably owned his own house at some point. In 1885 the address was Wesley Street, and between 1896 - 1899 they were at 13 Albert Drive. For the 1901 census they were at East Boldon, but in 1902 lived at 3 Tynevale Terrace, Gateshead, where he died of TB.
Does anyone know what these addresses were like in those days?
Regards,
Colin

Hi Gary,
Thanks very much for the link. I managed to find 8 images which included a beautiful picture of the new park and the houses in 1906. There was also one for a house 2 doors away from where they lived. On google maps, it looks as though the houses are still there so a trip is not far away.
Many thanks,
Colin

Hi Gary,
Google maps is very good for finding places but it's not always possible to see if they have been redeveloped. I live in Darlington so there's no problem in checking them out, especially as the weather is getting better. It's much better than sitting in front of a screen.
Regards,
Colin
