Just wondering if anyone has a robert Smithson married to Margaret McIntyre in their family tree. They were married at St James church, Benwell, Newcastle upon tyne in 1956. I was recently at a wedding exhibiton at the church -showing old photos as both my parents and grandparents were married there. I saw a wedding photo of this couple and wondered if we might be related - both having the smithson surname. My parents come from Scotswood on my dads side - he is called Don Smithson and Benwell on my mothers side - she is Angela Aitken. Im just curious to see if theres a connection, and I can maybe add to my family tree!

Many thanks

Lisa Smithson

Checked marriage. None found for Jack, but there is one for Robert. Suggest you check 192.com. You could try facebook too.

Pam - thanks for your info - due to me looking at your reply , I realised I had a mistake on my typed notice - I put Jack instead of Robert, there was a jack smithson at the wedding, but he wasnt the groom. thats what you get for doing things in a rush! I will check 192 and facebook as you suggested.
