Shetland / Re: Martha Thomasina Edwardson b:1857

Hi Richard,

Martha Thomasina was my great-great-grandmother. I have decided to try to find out some of the social history surrounding her life - why she may have made some of the decisions she did.

I've got a copy of the court papers relating to the theft and her trial and imprisonment. There is quite a lot of detail. If you're interested I'd be happy to share what I can.

Just about to log off, when I have stumbled across a Land Valuation Map of Blyth in 1910.  I don't know if anyone has already posted it or details in Roots.
If anyone is interested it is :   communities.northumberland.gov.uk/00  The map is very detailed and shows a skating rink situated near the gas works.

Looks like the skating rink is exactly where the Mecca bingo is now. The exact link to the map is http://communities.northumberland.gov.uk/007490FS.htm

Thanks for the welcome pityackafromblyth. My aunt also has a copy of a report from a paper with a similar mis-spelling of Uddgren. Her version of the report doesn't have the addresses in so I couldn't definitely connect the Kirton and Uddgren until I saw your information.

Northumberland / Re: Blyth History. Loss of the S.S. Flush, November, 1919.

The loss of the SS Flush occurred in Nov. 1919. ...

   I. Kirten, Fireman, 26, Holmside Place.  Single.    A.F. Nadgreen,  Fireman, 26, Holmside Place.
   Married.    T. Forster, Fireman, 19, Clive Street. Married.  G.W. Loud, Fireman, 19, Clive Street.
   Single.   A. Coyne, Fireman, 79, High Street.  Married.   J. Langlands,  Cook.  GRainger Street.


The crewman listed here as "A.F. Nadgreen" is actually Artur Fredrik Uddgren my great-grandfather. As his wife's maiden name was Kirton I suspect that "I. Kirten" (living at the same address) is actually his brother-in-law Thomas Kirton, so my great-grandmother lost both her husband and her brother in the same wreck.
