Children and deaths of Thomas and Ada Steele Durham
« on: Friday 25 July 14 13:18 BST (UK) »
Hello

Thomas Irving Steele, son of Joseph and Elizabeth Steele, married Ada Dodd in 1910 Gateshead Durham and are later seen on the 1911 census.

I have looked at the birth records, but cannot find any children. Did they have any? Or did they move to America?

Also I cannot find any death records for Thomas and Ada, though I can find a birth and marriage record for them

any help would be appreciated

my thanks
