Hi wb54,

If no one beats me to this I think it likely that I will be able to do this at some point over the next 4 weeks.  (I am expecting my new shift rota to be out soon.  I am off to work now.)

However, unless John was someone like a local dignatory, etc, he would probably only have a death notice rather than an obituary. 

Best Wishes

Actually, I may be able to squeeze this in today on the way home from work as I am sure the library is open till 7 pm.  Will do my best.

Hi William,

There is a death notice in the Evening Chronicle dated Saturday, March 18, 1944:

'RANKIN, Gateshead, 12 Hymers Court, 16th, aged 73, John beloved husband of Dinah (Lindsay). Inter. Gateshead, Monday; lift 2.45.  Funeral Private.'

Also, I thought you might like to have the memoriam notice too, which was placed in the Evening Chronicle on 16th March in 1945:

'Rankin (Gateshead).  In loving memory of my dear father, John died March 16 1944.  Three little words, forget-me-not.  Look so small but mean a lot.  From his loving wife, daughter Martha, son-in-law Harry and family and grandson Gibson (This notice finished with two capital letters which are hard to make out - could be R.N.?)

Best Wishes

hello river tyne lass,
                           
                            thank you very much for helping me, it was very kind to go to
                            all that trouble.
                            the names in the notice has been great, the r n, I think is
                             royal navy.

                             there is about six rankin`s called Gibson and a few Martha Jane`s

                            again, thank you.
                                                          William.
