Customs officers
My husbands grandfather, RJ Burgess,who lived in Beaconsfield Terrace Amble, next door to Mr and Mrs Carse, was Customs Officer from1903 til probably 1921 when he retired. He was born in County Down Ireland, worked in various locations in Ireland and Scotland before arriving in Amble. My grandfather was a Chief Engineer on the Chevington and I have his log book which has R J Burgess signature as officer at Warkworth Harbour. Small world !
