But where did she die Wolfie ..?

No, don't tell me ..!!

Amazing how many Annie Reed 's there seem to be and most of them seemed to live in Byker and near Cecil! ;D

Hi RTL

I'm definitely not offended, I just don't like for us to be beaten. I will probably keep dipping back in if I see anything positive regarding Annie Reed. I don't think there can be any doubt that Cecil Abbot is David Thomsons father, but Annie Reed appears from nowhere then disappears.  I like problems like that.

Hi Wolfie,

I think you might be right and perhaps we should not be beaten on this one.
I agree with you in thinking that there is little doubt that Cecil Abbott Thomson is David's Father.
I think I was just feeling a little disappointed that it was starting to feel to me like we RootsChatters (including Karytay) were more interested in this thread than Karytay's friend.  This was because of little feedback from friend  on finds/leads and what with the goal posts seemingly keep shifting regarding the certificate due to friend being too busy. 
However, I concede it may be hard to get a true impression of what is going on when we are only communicating on-line.   Milliepede found the birth information for Cecil and David.  Personally, I would have been delighted by this but there doesn't appear to be any feed back on this.  Perhaps Karytay may not have told her friend about this yet though and this is why no acknowledgement has been conveyed by friend as yet?  It might not be a lack of interest on own thread?

Wolfie, I am as intrigued as you are as to why Annie is there and then disappears.  I also would like to know why they did not marry in a time when this would have been expected (parents of two children).  I wonder if she was married to someone else or if her family did not approve of Cecil, or perhaps or vice versa.

I am also like you and some others on here that like this kind of a challenge. :)

When I am finished my run of nightshifts and brain more in gear (when less tired) I will have a good look at the leads you and Milliepede have presented and see what I might be able to check out at my end.

Hi all, I spoke to my friend once again, she is exhausted. One of the woman that works for her is leaving for Australia. So now she is short staffed with others been sick or fired. So now she is doing the work of the others as well as her own and still trying to do the admin. As a government approved facility she has to write up reports for them on top of everything else.

I will be seeing her this weekend to discus making Christmas pageant costumes, the children are going to put on a show for their parents.  I asked her please let us order the certificate quickly before starting anything else. 

Lets hope it will finally be done.   

And she thanks you all for your hard work. But cannot add any more info to what we already have.

Hi

I came across these posts by chance.   The nina Patterson you are talking about is my great aunt.   Mabel,  her sister,  was my Nana.   Harry and David are my mams cousins.   I am not sure who is after this info and their relationship to Nina but I am sure my man can help answer many of your questions?  Happy to help.
