Hi Caroline

Saturday 29th November 1902
Potts_ Walker, 166 Church Street, 25th inst., aged 69 years, John Potts( late of Cumberland). Interment on Sunday, cortege to leave at 3 o'clock. All friends kindly invited.

The same notice appeared on the 27th and 28th November

Tuesday 7th November 1905
Potts_ 121 Walker New Road, Walker, November 4th, aged 61 years, Annie, beloved wife of William Potts and daughter of the late Con, and Jane Walton. Interment at Walker Cemetery Nov 8th at 2.30. All friends kindly invited

Friday 12th October 1917
Potts_ Wallsend, 24 Stewart Terrace(at Norwich War Hospital) on the 9th inst., aged 30 years, Joseph C Potts, beloved husband of Jessie, and son of the late William and Ann Potts(late of Walker), and son-in-law of Mrs Harbottle. Interment at Walker on Sunday, cortege leaving residence at 2.30. Service in Walker United Methodist Church at 3 o'clock. All friends kindly accept this intimation.

Thursday 14th November 1918
Potts_ Wallsend, 24 Stewart Terrace, 12th inst., aged 30 years, Jessie Alice beloved wife of the late Joseph Cornelius Potts, and youngest daughter of Pringle and Margaret Harbottle. Interment on Saturday at Walker Churchyard, cortege leaving 3 o'clock. All friends kindly accept this intimation.

     I could not find a notice for William Potts died 7 Jul 1915 within 10 days of this date most noticeswould have been placed within 4 or 5 days of death unless he is a WW1 casualty.
     For the Harbottles you would need a date of death or burial to work from as each year of Evening Chronicle at this time occupies 3 or 4 microfilms. If they were from Tynemouth it might be better to see if anyone can find them in the burial registers for the Tynemouth cemetery.

Hi Grant

Thankyou so much for your help, it's nice to know there are still some kind people around!

I've been struggling to piece together our family history as I live quite a distance from the North East now and therefore I'm unable to visit the records office etc.  The fact that my grandad, together with his siblings were orphaned as young children (my grandad was a baby), means that we have very little information to go on in the first instance.  We still aren't certain as to what happened to the children after their parents death, where and who they lived with.  Alll I know is that my grandad's two sisters were sent to New Zealand, and he never saw them again. 

The only information I have relating to the death of William Potts is that it was registered 1915 Q3.  Pringle Harbottles death was registered in 1928 Q2 and Margaret Harbottle 1926 Q2.  All I suspect were living in the Walker area at this time.

I wonder if you would be so kind as to check out a few more death notices for me, feel free to say no if you are unble to. 

I will list them in the hope that someone will get the chance to have a look.

Richard Potts died 22 July 1944
Sophia Potts died 7 April 1962
Robert Potts death registered 1968 Q2
Margaret Jane Potts death registered 1915 Q4
John Potts death registered 1930 Q2
John Potts death registered 1946 Q4
John Potts death registered 1948 Q4
Alice Potts death registered 1968 Q3
Mary Jane Aitken death registered 1907 Q2
Elizabeth Dunn Bryden death registered 1918 Q4


Samuel Templeton death registered 1887 Q4
Jane Templeton death registered 1918 Q3
William Templeton death registered 1940 Q2
Elizabeth Grace Jane Templeton death registered 1945 Q1

Catherine Amers death registered 1899 Q1
Robert B Amers death registered 1928 Q1

Adam Harbottle death registered 1963 Q1
John Harbottle death registered 1897 Q1
Elizabeth Harbottle death registered 1895 Q1

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks Grant

Is there anyway of me accessing the death notice archive online or is it only available in the records office or library in the local area?  It's just that I appreciate how difficult it must be to search for people especially when there are no firm dates for their death!

Thankyou once again for your help

Caroline
