son of joseph (deceased).
address: furness street, west hartlepool.

caroline neal, aged 26, and a spinster.
daughter of joseph neal, a storekeeper.

-----------------
on "tees valley indexes" only two births appear for rebecca and joseph driver.

i cannot locate any driver baptisms for the two local churches for parish area - st paul's and st oswald's (both c of e).

rebecca was buried on 12 may in north cemetery, west hartlepool. her address on burial record is the workhouse. her mother was buried 24 april 1909 in same cemetery. her address is cromwell street, west hartlepool. joseph, aged 16 months, buried in same cemetery, 21 july. address given as workhouse.

i am posting this on behalf of an american gentleman who would be very grateful  in seeking info on the following person.

frederick coe was born in hartlepool in 1909 and may have married in stockton on tees in 1932.
any information on the marriage or of any children they may have had in stockton on tees would be of enormous help to the gentleman.

thank you in anticipation

information supplied by fellow researchers is being used by me to send info to hugh including 1950 west hartlepool death notice.
