Hi Helen & Sally thanks for your help. Sally I would be extremely grateful if you could look up my great grandfathers obituary Stephen Vincent died Sept Quarter 1948 age 76, probably died in Jarrow. I dont have his death cert yet but the registration is 1a 290 Durham. I am very interested in who are the mourners, the main mourners would be his wife Esther Caroline (Lena) Vincent and numerous children but what I am desparate to find out if he had any brothers, sisters or cousins. Thanks Sally, Sian |

Hi Sian, The local libraries are very helpful. You are probably looking for the South Shields Gazette or the Evening Chronicle. If it is a quick search you are after, I may be able to help. I'm going home for my hols and have an appointment at South Shields library to view the Gazette archives. I don't mind doing a quick search for you--email me if you like. Sal |

Sian I think your best bet would be to contact: Newcastle Local Studies Centre www.*newcastle*.gov*.uk remove * first or South Tyneside Central Library, South Shields www.*s-tyneside-mbc*.gov*.uk or Tyne & Wear Archives Service www.*thenortheast.*com/archives/ remove * first. I'm sure at least one of these places will have the old papers on microfilm. Happy hunting, nell |
