Lives of your great-grandfathers


Paternal GGF born 1846 in Elwick(too near Hartlepool for my liking,know now why I dislike monkies)
Has on the census he was a Silk Mercer, probably to keep him out of the workhouse.
They must have decamped to Sunderland at some stage as GF was born here 1879,one of nine, five boys and four lasses.
Only knew maternal GF born Stockton 1889,maintenance engineer for Gaumont picture houses etc.
