You will see that it lists their holdings for Todds Nook to be LB ( log books) from 1891-1960 and AR ( Admission Registers) from 1948-1965.

Log Books rarely mention children by name, but of course Admission Registers do !

Andrea
I would never have found him if you had not given me the information that his first name was David.

On the 1881C he is in Longwood, Yorkshire, with his father, also David B, a hearthrug manufacturer, his mother Elllen and siblings. He is the only one born in Oldham. The family obviously moved about a bit
On the 1891 C he is living with his mother, a widow, & some siblings.
His work is as a Solicitor's Managing Clerk, which we EXACTLY what my Dad worked up to from Office Bay!
On the 1901 C, he is a priest of the Church of England at St Catherine's School.

Many many thanks, Andrea.  He was a most remarkable man.

I am the grandson of Barnie Taylor. His wife, My Grandmother, died in 1982 after a long illness and his only daughter, (my mother) died in 2004. Before she died, my grandmother often told me stories of the man and his many good deeds.
He died in approx 1950 and his wife was an active member of the congregtion at St Hilda's West Jesmond until her death.

I live at Burneside, Kendal Cumbria and I have a number of photographs and newspaper cuttings which relate to the evacuees from Tyneside and South Shields who came here during the war. Newcastle sent 1,201 children, 145 teachers and helpers, 955 mothers and children 75 cripples!! South Shields 597 children 63 teachers and helpers and 260 mothers and children.  There is mention of a letter received from the headmaster of Todds Council School, Newcastle.

I am the grandson of Bernard Taylor and am proud to say I have inherited a clock that was presented to him by the Teachers and Bairns of St Wilfrid's Mission on March 9th 1925.

My dad went to Todd's Nook at around 1904. I think it was pulled down in the 1960's when the area was regenerated.
