COMPLETED Thanks - Gateshead Address c1907

[Colin Cruddace]

Hello all,

I've been looking at historical maps of Gateshead but can't find Burt Terrace. If anyone can find it through census details I would appreciate it.

I am tracing my grandad's brother to try and find his burial and 59 Burt Terrace was his last known address. He died of TB at Blencathra Sanatorium in Cumberland in January 1909 and his admission record in Oct 1907 (and death cert) gives that as his address.

Gateshead have been extremely helpful but haven't found his burial record, nor have the records of the local Church for Blencathra.

He wasn't married so I'm wondering what sort of address he was living at. Was he still with his family or just lodging there?

Does the 1901 census give a clue as to occupation?

Appreciative of any help,
Colin

Hi Colin

1901 - RG13/4754/181/51

Those in red still exist on google maps

This gives Burt Terrace as part of Alexandra Road - which also fits.

The 1901 census shows 5-139 (odd numbers) Burt Terrace followed by 55/51, 49, 47 (etc) Affleck Street

Hi Radcliff, he was Charles Henry Cruddace born 1881 at Cockerton, Darlington but he was with his family in 1901 at East Boldon.

Hi Linda, thanks for checking. I've now got a good idea where it was and can assume that he was a boarder there, and the records give his last place of residence.

Thanks to you both, it is appreciated,
Colin
