I wonder if any kind soul can help by looking up 2 obituaries for me.
1/ Mary Ann Alder died 2-7-1951,aged 87, Heaton Park Road Newcastle Upon Tyne
2/Jane Alder died 4-3-1879 aged 67, the adress on the deah certificate looks to be Gallowgate
As I am in Australia I am not sure of the last address
Any help is much appreciated

Gallowgate is the small area surrounding St James' Park, the football stadium and home of Newcastle United Football Club. "Wor Jackie" from the language of the area translates into English as Our Jackie or "Jackie" Milburn the most famous and well loved footballer to play at St. James's Park.
