She married a Thomas Dickman in 1931 in Newcastle. As far as I know they lived in the Byker area. Between them they had nine children, one being my father. Unfortunately, I don't know very much about that side of my family, and would like to learn more. Hope you can help. I know Mary died approximately in 1975, and that Thomas was in the RAF at some point. Regards.

So I thought I would let you know that you may be able to find out about Thomas in the RAF by looking in the National Archives. Most service records I have seen give date of enlistment, rank, area of operation,next of kin details, occupation before joining and if you can then ask for their service record you can find out where they served. I don't know if you have tried this but it may give you some clues in looking for the rest of his family. Hope this helps Kind Regards Sue
