• Re: REDICAN by allan (Member 10076681) on 21-Nov-2008
  You have a large block of friends......Can't you break it down a bit, like I have said Sunderland is a large city, if you could just mention a town in Sunderland then maybe I can help, or even a roundabout area would also help.>

• Re: REDICAN by julia (Member 10069624) on 23-Nov-2008
  Hi, sadly I wish I could but I have no other information at present. I was hoping by listing some of the family members someone could link in with that. I would like to be more helpful but sometimes when you only just start on your family history information like that is not very forthcoming. Thanks. Julia.

• Re: REDICAN by allan (Member 10076681) on 26-Nov-2008
  keep posting of you come up with anything else....I usually keep looking in.>

  This is a long way back, I will see what I can do. You may also want to try the South Shields board..[www.southshields-sanddancers.co.uk]
  You must log on then you can leave a message on the main board, and as I say I will do a check also..>

• Re: Lost contact in Sunderland by allan (Member 10076681) on 26-Sep-2008
  Sorry.....Nothing' it's a pity you have nothing else to go on, with it being a long time and as you say she could be married with a different name, I mean nearly 40 years is a bit long to find someone....>>

  Any chance of a second name,[if Married now] or where abouts in Sunderland she used to live. Sunderland is quite a large city,>

• Re: Sunderland Empire by allan (Member 10076681) on 28-Feb-2008
  Where are you from Julia? I know of a person that used to work at the Empire and may have had access to the records, mind I can't promise anything. The Allen family' any ides what part of Sunderland they are from?. I do know a Ray Allen belonged Castletown, will be around the 63/64 mark.>>>

• Re: Sunderland Empire by julia (Member 10069624) on 28-Feb-2008
  Well I dont think my dad was in Sunderland then as I was born in Peckham and my mum and dad were married there is 1950. I think maybe Durham was one of the citys he was in as he sang in Durham Cathedral. This family tree thing is so hard. My dad had an unusual middle name of Chard, and his father was Walter Lennard and his father William Inkerman Allen. Hope you can help. Thanks.

• Re: Sunderland Empire by allan (Member 10076681) on 28-Feb-2008
  I will ask about the Empire Julia' but the rest could be a struggle, Durham is about 12 mile outside of Sunderland, but you never know.
  Have you any idea what name your mam went under on the stage?>>>>

• Re: Sunderland Empire by allan (Member 10076681) on 28-Feb-2008
  Sorry...........your Gran.!

• Re: Sunderland Empire by julia (Member 10069624) on 29-Feb-2008
  No sorry I have not a clue, I only found out a few weeks ago for definate. Her name was Gladys Birkbeck and she was born in 1898 and married in 1920 so I guess it could have been a little after maybe 1915 I dont know what age they start work. Sorry I am a bit vague. Many Thanks.

• Re: Sunderland Empire by allan (Member 10076681) on 3-Mar-2008
  Hi Julia...... Been into the Empire website but it didn't tell me much, I spoke to my friend about the Empire and he tol me that the Archives are more or less impossible to obtain. I will still have a go at the Library next time I am in the town and see if anything comes up from there.
  Catch you later.......
  
  Allan.>>>>

• Re: Sunderland Empire by julia (Member 10069624) on 3-Mar-2008

• Re: Sunderland Empire by allan (Member 10076681) on 3-Mar-2008

  Bandit' the only way to beat this mother' is not to reply to him, he tends to thrive on arguments.
  Caused me a lot of bother on a Cardiff Board a while back, The Sunderland board got flooded with kids from Wales. Still thats another story, as I say best let him argue with himself, He will go away, people of his sort always DO. Catch you later matey.>>>>
