I am lookinf for my maternal grandmother Dorothy Reed who lived with her mother Elizabeth (nee Nicholson) and her sister Nora in the West Hartlepool area of County Durham. Nora married James Donnelly and had four children - James, Dorothy, Pauline & Elizabeth. Dorothy Reed married John Donnelly (James's brother) and they had a daughter Sheila Elizabeth who was born in 1934. Dorothy and James divorced sometime in the 1930's or 1940's and she remarried to a Charles (Chuck) Glenn. Chuck adopten Sheila in the 1940's - 1950's. They went on to have two daughters Patricia and Irene. Dorothy and Sheila lived with her mother Elizabeth in Mozart Street, West Hartlepool, until Dorothy, Chuck, Shaila and Patricia moved to the Owton Manor Estate where they had Irene ( I think). Dorothy and Noras grandfathers nickname was 'Cast Iron Charlie'. They had an auntie called Mary Nicholson who became a Thompson, Lydia Nicholson. Plus an uncle names Edward Nicholson. Elizabeth Reeds husband died asfter the first world war as a result of being gassed during his service. Lydia has a daughter Phyllis who became a Rafferty when she married. Lydia died in childborth and Phyllis lived with Dorothy and her family. Any further information would be gratefully received. |
