Mrs THOMPSON:Diary of a Cleveland Miner

[Joed99]

Hi

For some time I have been researching the Diary of a Cleveland Miner (1873-1925) by William Rowbottom an Ironstone Miner and resident of Margrove Park & Charltons Terrace and Boosebeck.
 
The source is a transcription of the diary's entries published in the Cleveland Standard of Jan 28th 1939. The following entry as two possibilities.

3rd April1922   Mrs Thompson of Saltburn died.

THOMPSON, Mary J d age 64 or Annie d age 51 both June Q 1922 Guisborough Dist ?

As anyone access to online newspapers so I can possibly determine the correct one. Our local ref does not hold this year or it is missing.

Thanks

John

There's a burial on 5 April 1922 at Saltburn Cemetery for Mary Jane Thompson, on the NBI on FindMyPast.  Also shows that there is a Monumental Inscription.  No burial showing for Annie.

This is very likely our lady !
