  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
  Hi, thanks so much. I just did not realise how hard it was to do this sort of thing. I am having an even harder job on my mums side she just does not want to part with any info. Thanks for your time. Julia.

  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.>>>>

  This is the Sunderland Board, Wee Man.
  Does he have relations here or something, if so
  I might be able to help you out a little.>>

• Re: Les Carter by The "wee" man (Member 10176442) on 13-Oct-2006
  Yes Allan, he has a son to his first wife, who I believe still lives there. My daughter lives in his old flat, in the Exeter estate, and he has a small amount of cash that could be claimed. Better his family than anyone else. I have just clicked from the Corby board, your message, it baffled me.

• Re: Les Carter by allan (Member 10076681) on 16-Oct-2006
  Well if you leave a name, and maybe if you know the area where he lives I may be able to help.
  Sunderland is a good size. I Know most parts of Sunderland, so anything you have to go on will be welcome.>

• Re: Les Carter by The "wee" man (Member 10176442) on 18-Oct-2006
  That's as much as I have to go on at the moment but I know a few people that may have some more info. I'll get back to you Allan.
