Robert was my grandfathers cousin whose existence I have only recently discovered. I understand he died in 1983 in Newcastle upon Tyne and may have been married to Margaretta Cartwright who died in 2002, did they have any family? Furthermore Robert had three brothers all from Tyneside, Albert Victor White who died 1930 Joseph W White who died 1930 and James Hope White who died 1950,I believe all three brothers were also married. Any further info on the family would be much appreciated.

What do you actually hope for?

Freda White B.1921 is not related to Edith W R White as Freda was my mother in law and her dob is too close to that of Edith.

Would love to know more of Emily and John though as these names were never mentioned but Freda and her Mum did leave Newcastle for London at some stage in the 1930s and we have no idea why. Can anyone enlighten us?
