W J Casey and J lynn.
Casey was the resident instructor to the TA in Amble and his family were brought up here. I went to school with his grandson, also named Walter. There were Caseys in Amble until last year when Joe Casey , son of Walter J, died he was 92 and lived in West Crescent. He worked at both Hauxley and Whittle collieries.
Jack Lynn lived next door to my grandparents in Centre Row Radcliffe and was Caseys second in command in the Home Guard in the rank of Lieutenant, he worked at Hauxley colliery and ended his days in Leslie Drive in Amble after moving from Radcliffe.
