I`m probably just not looking in the right direction, but I am having trouble learning much about the man for whom thia library was named. My vague notes say"George Mitchell?" Lots about the library itself  but not about tha man. Anudge to the right p[ath would be appreciated.
 Thankyou    Mawaltho

Is there any way i which I could find out if any of myNewcastle/South Shields families were Masonic? My father, long deceased was NOT a Mason and it was not spoken of as a "family" thing  but I am curious  Most relevant names are THOMPSON and SNOWDEN, prior to 1850
  Thank you for your time  Mawaltho

Since postinghave talked to a relative who understood that William came to Canada first , with his parents. Simpson Senior was a  teacher. My relative has been unable to locate the burial place of the parents and wondered if they "gave it up as a bad job" and returned to Scotland  Again, thankyou for your assistance
