Hello Chris,
Thanks. You're a treasure.
Was just going to close down & thought I`d have a last
look at the emails.
This certainly looks like a "hit" Off to add this to my records.
Thanks again,
Hinton.

Hello Tanja,
Thankyou very much for the "fine tuning" on my
inquiry. This is a big help.

Some more fine tuning.....
The transcriber for the 1901 census made an address mistake here.
Westgate was one of the 5 census districts of the City Of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Newcastle was in the county of Northumberland.
Westgate Road was/is the main artery road out of Newcastle to the west.
None of the above places were in County Durham.
