Only the people who leave comments below this photograph can be contacted. The following are some of the requests we have more recently received for Family History: Sue Smith enquired: “My great great grandparents lived in Brotton. Their names were John and Jane Cowens. They had 15 children. One of their children was Sarah my great grandmother. One of their sons John Wilson went to live in Australia. I am gradually trying to find out about the rest of the family. Any assistance would be great.“ David asked: “I am trying to find more details of my birth father Leslie Welsh who lived in Marske in 1951/2. He may have been there on business but I’m not sure. My birth mother Mildred Brown lived in Emerald Street, Saltburn and worked at a Convalescence home. Any information on either of these would be helpful.” Trevor Peace asked: “How do I find out about a 1920 burial of Armstrong Chapman. He was my wife’s Great Grandad from Skinningrove.” Anne also asked: “i, I am trying to find out more information about my Great Grandfather George Leng, who resided in Staithes circa 1930 onwards. I believe he died in 1972 and is buried in Hinderwell Cemetery. Any information is greatly received.” Other requests are listed in the comments below. |
