Wow Kay, thank you so much for that information. Not sure why the Berwick Advertiser would include it in their newspaper as Berwick is about 60 miles north of Newcastle unless it was the railway interest.
A quick question as I have had a couple of Rootschatters come back to me with relevant snippets from newspapers. How do you get all this information and so quick, is there a website that you can subscribe to that lists names and newspapers that information is in?
Many thanks, Paul

Seemingly he was well known at Berwick were he had worked as a relief in the past  Do you want a copy with more detail?   If so could you pm me  your email

https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk is a great site, much easier to search there than via any genealogy sites I've tried.

Thanks Jamie, will look into it, there is so much information that can be found in newspapers.
Cheers, Paul
