Hi Jan, Nice offer! If you come across any Kemp burials in Westoe I would be interested. John Joseph Kemp died 29 August 1899 James William Kemp died 9 March 1909 Thomas William Kemp died 1884 Now this lady is very likely to have been buried in Westoe Cemetery: Helen or Ellen Kemp died 27 November 1886 If you can't find the others then they were probably buried in Harton St Peter Church South Shields. Grateful for any help. Cheers, Horatia

Hi Jan Thankyou for the offer. I'm looking for Greenwell Jewett who died about 1880 and his wife Martha who is still alive on 1891 census. Also Greenwell Jewett who died in 1867 and his wife Mary who died in 1843. Thankyou Elaine

Ooh wonderful! Could you see if there is any thing for Stibbens/Stebbens/Stibbons..... especially a William Stibbens who is on the missing list since 1851 he was a Master Mariner. Thanks Marian

Am going tomorrow (Weds) to scan through for names already requested. Have started to write them out so I can read them at home so eventually may have a complete list if anyone wants to ask for a lookup. Will look before 9.30 am and then I'm off. Jan
