That sounds promising, Lindsay. Looks like there has been substantial clearance in that area, and streets would have disappeared.

Thanks.

I don't know if this will help but I see on a 1901 census Campbell St was down as being in Westgate(an area in Newcastle). I see on a moden map there is a Campbell Place in Westgate

I don't have the certificate, just a death notice in the Newcastle Courant.

It sounds familiar
I think its in the old Byker
Have you a post code on your certificate ?

Researching:
Sometimes nothing is a real cool hand.

I'm trying to find where Campbell Street, Newcastle, was. My ggg-grandmother died there in 1868. It doesn't seem to exist today, but there are several references to it on the internet.

I tried here.... http://www.old-maps.co.uk/ , but the only map of Newcastle is of poor quality.

Thanks

Alistair
