I'm not sure but the name Havlock rings a bell. I would be grateful for any more information you may come up with. My Grandmother was born in Sacriston and came from a mining family as well. Look forward to hearing from you.

I am trying to find any of my grandfather's family. His name was Joseph(Joss) Robinson born in Birtley Co Durham in 1881, married Elizabeth(Liz or Lizzie) Hewitt in Chester-le-Street Co Durham in 1914. They had children named Peggy(Margaret) Thomas(Tom, my Dad)Joe, Betty, Harry, John, Billy(William)and Frank, all now deceased. The family lived in South Shields, Joss was first a miner and then a Docker. I cannot trace my granda before his marriage. Can anyone help? Pauline (Nee Robinson)
