Hi Lesleyenglish I have just come across the post regarding Sarah Redpath b 1804 in I believe, Belford. Sarah was my GGG grandmother. One of her daughters, married John Turnbull my GG grandfather. 
I’m afraid I cannot be of much help to you as I too am stuck with her.

I seem to think there was Vitapount factory, Town Tailors and Remploy. May be wrong as moved away 1967.  Maybe Brentford Nylons were there sometime after we left Blyth too.

Hi Phillip, I have just been reading this post and have come across your page of when you were growing up in the seventies. I was wondering if I could use a copy of pic with vulcan on it? My interest is one of the last Vulcans has been based for a number of years at Doncaster Sheffield airport which is currently under threat of closure. #Save DSA fb group are using the vulcan as a heritage issue as part of the campaign and would be interested in your photo and comments.
Please delete if not appropriate.
Thanks.

Many thanks for the e mail. So she was still in the workhouse in October 1901. Had a quick look for Helena Donnelly but my head is in a muddle at the moment. Just wondering if she was an inmate??? Who knows?
At least, thanks to all of your help, I now know that my grandads sister did exist.

Thanks for your reply. You have been an absolute godsend (my mam coming out here) to me with this. Between you and other “chatters” I would still have been floundering in the fog. A massive thank you to all for your help.

Stay safe,

Hi Boo. I am just looking at both birth certificates, one for Charles Mallachin and the one for Mary Ellen Monaghan. Details as follows

9th June 1899 Union Workhouse. Charles- boy- dash for father- Margaret Mallachin a tobacconists assistant Gateshead- informant Jas Scott Union Workhouse- 28 th June 1899- registrar Thomas Lumsden.

10th September 1901 Union Workhouse- Mary Ellen- blank for fathers details- Margaret Monaghan a factory hand if Gateshead- Jas Scott Madter Union Workhouse Gateshead- 26th September 1901- registrar Thomas Lumsden.

I did not think you could post image.

I have looked at her marriage certificates to Charles Johnson in 1904 and to Thomas Coyne in1906 and both have the cross on them (think that’s to say could not read or write??).

She was brought up living in the closes off RoyalMile in Edinburgh so I think reading and writing was a rarity in those days. I have been to the visitors attraction for the closes and they lived a very harsh life. Really hit the heart strings to think my family lived like they did.

Thanks mckha489 for the info. I did wonder about the ref but not sure. I now know and am learning so much from you  friendly rootschatters. As regards to her occupation (if it is actually her) my husband said ragamuffin so he was close!! I’m usually pretty good but just evaded me. Think my eyes are fed up and are just about ready to give up😂😂😂
