Appreciate the help folks - we did have a lot of that info but there's a fair amount that is new to us and dovetails nicely on the Spark side of the family where we've found a Spark brother who had returned from working in Arizona in 1910 through a Facebook group "Fietscher Fotos of South Shields & surrounding areas."- a lady posted a picture of her relative with the name and confirmed that he was brother to Martha leading us off on the Spark trail :)

Of special interest are the mis-spelled names in Lisa from California's post, that's the first (possible) mention of Ernest at this early age we've had.

Thankyou so much for the time you've all spent - can't wait for the weekend to follow up on the clues :D
