Tyne and Wear Archives look-up please
« on: Monday 07 April 14 15:48 BST (UK) »
Dear all,

I would like to know just "how large" is a certain file at TWAS and "what pages" of it are going to be of specific interest to me before asking them for a quote on copying. (Smile) it seems that unless you know exactly what you want, they quote you on the whole file and it does get to be expensive.

Here is the file reference:
Level    Series
RefNo    DT.SC/344/1-5
Title    Deeds of 13-14, Albion Terrace, Westoe, alias Victoria Assembly Hall and shops, formerly part of Fowlers Closes
Date    2 December 1839 - 7 January 1902
Extent    5
files

#13 was occupied by a family named Thompson c. 1840 - 1872, but I don't yet know if they owned?/leased? both of #13 and #14. I would like to order copies of:
a) - any pages with a Thompson signature
b) - any pages with a description of the house or property
c) - any pages with a map or schematic or dimensions of the house or property

I "think" that each page has a TWAS reference number pencilled in at the top corner (from other copies I have bought) and it is those numbers I am hoping to get before ordering.

Can anyone help please?

Cheers,
Westoe
