Yorkshire (West Riding) / West Riding Rifles
« on: Saturday 11 January 14 16:56 GMT (UK)  »
Hello

My great uncle's medal index indicates that he transferred from Northumberland Fusiliers to the West Riding Rifles in July 1916 and appears they then went to France but that is all the information I have, does anyone have any information about where they were in France and any battles they were involved in?   

Thanks

Northumberland / Oystershell Lane Newcastle Upon Tyne
« on: Tuesday 08 October 13 19:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi-

My great grandfather George Selby (Often used the name Forster) lived in Oystershell Lane Newcastle in 1889 when he married Esther Skelly. Does anyone have any photos or information about Oystershell Lane at that time. I believe it was quite near Bath Lane - possibly on the site of Newcastle Breweries. I have found it on an old map.

Thanks Barbara

Durham / Thomas Graham- burial
« on: Saturday 07 September 13 08:51 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I'm looking for a possible death burial of Thomas Graham born Darlington 1873. His brothers and him moved to Alnwick NBL 1881 census following the death of their mother to live with family but 1891 census show that they moved separately back to Auckland then South Shields area.

I have found a death in South Shields 1st quarter 1888 of 16 year old Thomas GRAHAM- I have been unable to track down Thomas in any census after 1881 so it is a possibility but if I could have a definite confirmation before going to the expense of the death certificate on a long shot!

Thanks a lot
