Hi
My GGG Grandfather FRANCIS DAVIDSON FORREST born 1823 gave his birthplace as just Northumberland on the 1881 census but by 1891 had improved it to 'Shields'
would he mean North Shields or were both 'Shields' in Northumberland at that time. I know he married in South Shields in 1849
any advice most welcome
