Hello everyone, I would really appreciate a lookup for Jennie Heslop 23 Jan 1906 in Newcastle Evening Chronicle please. If a full transcription could be provided that would be fantastic. Out of interest how would I be able to track down an actual copy/ scan of the article at some point in the future please?
Many thanks in advance

Hi and welcome
Jennie Heslop 23 Jan 1906 in Newcastle Evening Chronicle please
Have you given the correct details? There is no Jennie Heslop death on freebmd in 1906

Hi and thank you. She will probably be shown in BMD as Janet G Heslop d Jan 1906 however the GENUKI site listing the NE Chronicle deaths shows her as Jennie.
Many thanks

Hi Carole :) see http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/NBL/DeathNotices/deaths_HENE
Jennie is a common north country pet name for Jane or Janet. My Aunt Jane was always called Jennie by the family (to the bewilderment of her friends who only ever knew her as Jane ::) )

The Genuki death notice shows residence Consett, so that fits.
Graham, what information do you hope to gain from the Evening Chronicle death notice?
-
Hi all, yes thats the right one :)
-
The Evening Chronicle notice is unlikely to include much more than the funeral arrangements.
What other information were you hoping to find?
-
Hi, after very recent conversations with my father and his cousin (who is a long term FH researcher) none of us had known Janet as Jennie and has made us think a little differently about researching not just her but other family members where the birth name has been, as I think Carole said, morphed into a 'pet' name. Janet G Heslop was born in Scotland and lived as you say in Consett but although her descendants including myself have carried out quite a fair amount of research into her and family, this is first time any of us have heard her referred to as Jennie. Indeed it actually explains a descendants' naming as Jennie now. I suppose Im hoping for any anecdotal information that we've so far missed. I have visited her grave and seen aa death announcement in The Southern Reporter (Scottish Borders) so i have now learned to expect little surprises along the way!

Looks like she may have died in or just after childbirth - Thomas Duncan Menzies Heslop registered Lanchester 1st quarter 1906 MMN Menzies
EDIT Birth 13 January 1906

Hi graeme4242,
I have found the death notice for you in the Evening Chronicle dated Tuesday January 23 1906:
'HESLOP.- Consett, 9 Stratford Terrace. 21st instant, aged 35, Jennie, wife of Robert G. Heslop. Interment at Benfieldside Cemetery on Wednesday; cortege to leave at 2.15 pm. Friends please accept this the only intimation.'
I have spoken to a staff member at the Newcastle City library (Local Studies Department 6th floor) and if you write to them for a copy of this notice they would charge you £30 :o :o to obtain this and send you a copy. However, if at some point you were to call in at the library yourself and ask for a photocopy they would charge you 20p :)
Sorry there was no anecdotal information which you were hoping for but now at least you know.
Best Wishes :)

Hi River Tyne Lass and thank you very much for doing this for me, most grateful. Newcastle's a much longer journey for me now than when i was younger living in the area however it sounds like the Library is still worth a visit when I'm down to see my folks? Many thanks and regards ;)

The Local Studies Department of the City Library is excellent and well worth a visit.
