Hi Caroline, thanks so much for replying on this. Yes my original post was indeed some time ago, but Im still very interested in finding out more.

Im thrilled that your grandmother is still alive, I met her a few times when I was younger and we visited Mrs Brims at Heddon Hall. Originally this used to be with my grandma, Esther Gibson and then after she died with my father John Davison (also now deceased).

My original post was an effort to find out more about my grandmas service with your family, first at Brookside and then later (I think) at Heddon Hall.

Im not sure whether your grandma will remember me, but please do pass on my very best wishes and I would be delighted to hear about anything she remembers about my grandma Esther and her time with the family.

Thanks so much again for replying

Best

Hi everyone

I came across the attached photograph with some narrative on the back to suggest my grandfather was sent there in January 1919 on returning from the war.

Does anyone know the history of the place or if records survive regarding what sort of treatments went on there or even patient records?

thanks

Well over a year on from when I first posted here and I finally have some more information if some kind person can help me with the records please!

My William H Jones definiately served as a private with the 8th battalion, the cheshire regiment during WWI under service number 34410.

Im hoping someone might be able to please look up his medal index card and see if his service records survived at all?

Ive also managed to find a picture which I believe is him

thanks

Interesting, could possibly be the same one - my info is only based on a single 50 year old story so could easily have been corrupted.

Do you know how I could find out more information on this please?  Are there old records available to check, or even better something online as Im based in London?

Ive also heard of something called Crockfords register, but dont know if this would have that sort of information?

thanks

Hi

Im trying to track down any information I can on my great uncle who I am told was Vicar of Bedlington in Northumberland.

I believee his name was Alexander Davison although this may also be shown as Alex or even Alec. I dont know exact dates but I would have thought he would be born around 1909.

I think his fathers name was James and he had two brother John and I think Thomas.

Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!!
