Many many thanks to you all for all this marvelous information and your assistance.
The diary was transcribed and printed in The Cleveland Standard dated 1939 which I found a rather yellowed creased copy folded up inside a family bible. I have been researching its content for some years and have nearly traced information for each of entries although an handful will probably still defeat me because of their vagueness.

Hello,
Thank you for Coulthard info Richard & Martha Coulthard were my grandparents, came to Canada in 1924-25 Drumheller Alberta Coal Mines were booming at that time. My father Robert Coulthard joined the Canadian Army and while on leave at Duckerings in Boosbeck met my mother, thus she was a Canadian War Bride and Mom & I sailed for Canada in 1946 from Southampton on the Queen Mary.
I currently live in Canada with my family.
The diary sounds interesting of Mr Rowbottom's
Looking for any info on my Grandfather Richard's sister Mary Edith Coulthard born abt.1875 in Leasingthorne.
Regards Pauline

Hi Pauline - and welcome to RootsChat :) :)
1891 census in Monk Wearmouth, Sunderland Durham...
Jane A Coulthard (widow) 40
Mary E 16
Richard 12
Benjamin 9
Lydia 2
Dorothy Little 39 married, visitor
Mary Little 2, visitor
1901 Benjamin is married to Miriam Sanderson and they are with his wife's family in Shildon, Auckland, Durham. Mary E Coulthard is listed as a visitor - she was born in Leasingthorne.
1910 Mary E Coulthard married Luke Hunter in Darlington, Durham. (see FreeBMD)
1911 - I don't think I am allowed to provide look up info for this census, but you can look for Mary Edith and Luke Hunter in Sunderland, Durham.
RK
-
1939 - Luke and Mary E Hunter are still in Sunderland. Not sure if I can post details of that either...
Luke appears to have been married before and has a daughter Isabella.
1901 census in Fulwell, Sunderland...Luke is with wife Mary and daughter Isabella. Isabella is 1, and born in Fulwell.

Free BMD shows a death for a Mary E Hunter in Sunderland in 1944 - she is 70. Right age and place, so could be her. There is also a death for a Mary E Hunter in Sunderland in 1954, aged 80
Death notice in the Sunderland Daily Echo and Shipping Gazette on Nov 26 1954...Mary Edith Hunter died on Nov 25 1954, aged 80. Wife of Luke Hunter. Address 262 Fulwell Road. Interment Mere Knolls Cemetery
Also a death for Luke Hunter in Sunderland in 1956 - aged 86.
RK
-
FreeBMD has a marriage for Luke Hunter to Mary Mitchell in Sunderland in 1896.
GRO has a birth for Isabella Hunter, mothers maiden name Mitchell in Sunderland..registered in Dec quarter 1899.
Mary Mitchell Hunter must have died sometime between 1901 and 1910.

Thank you for the info on Mary E.Coulthard, hopefully a family member will see this post and respond re:Mary.
Ernest Coulthard was my Dad Robert Coulthard's brother and he passed away in 1924, so he didn't make the journey to Canada he is buried in Boosbeck Cemetery.
Only the two boys were in that family.
