I have come across two reference volumes in North Shields local studies which I think might of interest to some RootsChatters who may have Northumberland or Durham ancestors who may have been prominent in society or have done well and been noted in their chosen profession.
These volumes are titled:
'Edwardian Biography: Northumberland'
'Edwardian Biography: Durham
Each person named has a photograph and a biography.
Categories include:
Members of Parliament
Gentry & Magistrates
Clergy
Medical
Legal
Dental
Art & Literature
Architects
Engineers
Land Agents
Accountancy & Insurance
North Eastern Railway
Commerce & Shipping
I haven't had time to look through every page but from what I have seen all the photos were male.
I thought it would be good to let people know about the existence of these volumes as I think we all like to know where to find possible photos of our ancestors.
