Alxander Williamson born abt 1853

[chris61]

Trying to trace descendants of Alexander Williamson who was form in Northumberland about 1853 and married a lady by the name of Sarah. They had two children Mary Ellen born abt 1881 and Alexander abt 1883. The 1901 Census shows that they were living at 60 Cannon Street, Elswick and both Alexanders were ship wrights at the ship yards. Cannot find any trace after the 1901 Census. Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks Chris
