Thanks for your reply. You have been an absolute godsend (my mam coming out here) to me with this. Between you and other “chatters” I would still have been floundering in the fog. A massive thank you to all for your help.

Stay safe,

A contact has been able to look at Mary Ellen's baptism record.

There is an address. of Union Workhouse, Gateshead.
and her godmother was Helena Donnelly.

Many thanks for the e mail. So she was still in the workhouse in October 1901. Had a quick look for Helena Donnelly but my head is in a muddle at the moment. Just wondering if she was an inmate??? Who knows?
At least, thanks to all of your help, I now know that my grandads sister did exist.
