is there anybody researching durham home guard?, if so have you come across any entries for East Boldon, Boldon Colliery and West Boldon.

I have a list of people who enlisted but have no confirmation of where they were based, patrolled etc etc

any info would be helpful. I know DRO supposedly have some lists but access for me is difficult

regards

I had a look at the search page for these records today and they very helpfully show the date of birth for each person for free.
