I obtained this photograph from David Musgrave it was taken in about 1930. David currently lives in Australia and the photograph shows his grandparents John William and Mary Ann Robinson (nee Hird). They lived in Wheatley Hill from about 1893 to 1935. They are both buried in Wheatley Hill along with their sons Robert, 1888 and Deailer born 1890, both born in Castle Eden Their daughter Mary Jane (Jennie) born in 1895 and Davids mother Hilda and twin brother John Edward born in 1902 in Wheatley Hill. The family lived in 27 Elizabeth Street in the 1901 Census and then later moved to Church Street. Mary Ann Hird lived in 21 Gullock Street Wingate in the 1881 Census. Jennie married Jack Bullock in 1913 and they had a shop in Cemetery Road. Jennie later moved to Quetlaw Road and finally to Thornley. They had two sons William and Edwin.

David would love to hear from any relatives that may still be around so that they could share some memories and the family tree. David can be reached at dmusgrave7@yahoo.com.au
