I am away from home at the moment and will not be back home until Monday for me to check the Marriage Certificate. But I am sure it just says Thomas deceased. It could well be my Joseph but I do not know. A cousin I rang this morning said that the family had links with Galashiels. How on earth could he have ended up in Glasgow. I have no one in my family who can tell us as our Nanna Died when we were young I was only four at the time. But If only the records my Uncle had had not been stolen along with the family bible I may have had something to go on. My husband just tonight said we should check the local paper archive for announcements of the forthcoming marriage of Joseph to Elizabeth, and also at the Church. Problem is the Church is unknown to me as it was just listed as a Catholic Chapel. But I was told my Nanna was baptised in the Church of England and was raised as such. This Catholic Chapel, is not know even by my husband who is a Catholic himself. A lot of Churches in South Shields have long since gone and some of the records have been sent to Durham Cathedral, according to my friends husband, but does that include Catholic and other denominations in the local area? We will pay a visit to our new local library who have records of Churches, Burial Grounds, along with lots of of other records like local census and streets etc. As it is newly opened I will have to find out who can help us look for the right records. In the meanwhile I will certainly look into the information you have given me and see what comes of it. Thank you.
