The marriage certificate for an ancestor of mine states that she was living at 36 Regent Square when she was married in 1908. She wasn't originally from London and this wasn't a family address. As this is Central London and the area has probably changed greatly since 1908 I'm curious to find out what sort of property it was that she was living in. House ? House divided into flats ? Does anybody know?

Before I send for the relevant death certificate(s) I was wondering whether there is anybody who is able to confirm whether Felix Joseph Thompson who was 66 when he died in 1943 in Chelmsford had been married to Isabel(le) Thompson who was 54 when she died in 1939 in Croydon ?

Does anyone know whether the Parish Registers for St. Lukes Church covering the period 1900-1930 will be kept in the Tyne & Wear Archives ?

Thanks ,

I am researching Peter Ferguson who may be an ancestor of mine. He was born in Newcastle in about 1892/3 and served in the Royal Navy during the First World War. One of the ships he served on was "HMS Weymouth". He is believed to have been on this vessel when it was involved in and damaged in the Battle of Durazzo ( Adriatic ) in 1918. He may have sustained injuries then. It's known that he died in the Royal Naval Hospital in Chatham in July 1921.He is buried in St. Andrews Cemetery in Newcastle. His parents were called Peter and Maria who lived at 31 Hunters Road.I should be grateful to hear from anyone who is able to provide any further information about him at all such as names of siblings, etc. I'm not sure whether he married or not.

Thanks,

My great-grandmother ( Agnes Walsh ) was born in Scotland and by the time of the 1911 census had been widowed. She also had a new partner by the time of the census ( Henry Webster ). He was born in 1853 and died in 1924.The 1911 census for Scotland records them both as living at 5a Montague St.in Edinburgh. He is described as a " Jeweller" and she as a "Boarding House Keeper". HOWEVER between 1911 and 1919 they moved to Newcastle upon Tyne. My mother ( Also called Agnes Walsh ) was born illegitimately in 1919 in Newcastle and she and my grandmother ( Isabella Walsh ) lived with Agnes Walsh Senior and Henry Webster at 38 Morpeth St. Spital Tongues.
During the First World War I feel that Henry may well have worked in the Tyneside shipyards as his death certificate records him as having been " A general labourer in Ordnanace Works ". What I should like would be if someone could do an electoral register check/ or street directory check for Newcastle for me and see what the earliest date is that he and Agnes are shown as living in Newcastle.

Many thanks,
